How to setup your KuCoin API keys on Copile

This guide will walk you through the process of aquiring your KuCoin API keys and setting them up on Copile. Note that API keys are highly sensitive so ensure you are cautious when dealing with them. Copile requires minimal permissions for your API keys, and always puts security first.

Please note this process is likely to change over the coming weeks whilst we wait for our verified third party service application to be accepted
