¶ Gate.io - New API tutorial
The following is a general tutorial for creating an API. However, we recommend using sub-account APIs for trading whenever possible to reduce the risk to the main account. Sub-accounts are independent accounts that contribute to enhanced security and facilitate the assessment and optimization of different trading strategies' performance.There will be a separate page description for the sub-account API.
