A pop-up screen will then appear, where you name your API key, activate "**View**" and "T**rade**" and do not change the "**IP Whitelist**".

Press **"Create and download"** (at the bottom of the pop-up screen: you may have to scroll down).&#x20;

You can forget about the downloaded ".Json" file. Ity has no use for our application.

The next screen will show your **API Key** and your **Secret Key**. **Copy these keys to your notepad.** You will need these keys in BitBrokerTrade and the keys will become invisible after you close the pop-up screen.

Close the Pop Up screen with the purple button.

Your creation of the API key is now complete. You now have 2 things on your notepad: **API Secret** **Key** and **API Key**.

Then log in to Bitbrokertrade and go to the "**Settings**" menu and then to "**Exchanges**". Then choose "**Add exchange**".

Select "**Coinbase advanced**", a fill-in menu will appear where you can enter your saved data:
