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:

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.bitbrokertrade.com/english/exchange/connect-coinbase-pro.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
