To trade on Sandwich, you need to generate an API key with trading permissions. The specific labels for trading permissions may vary depending on the exchange you are using. Here are some common labels that indicate trading permissions:

  • Trade
  • Order
  • Write
  • Read_Write

When generating an API key, make sure to select the appropriate permissions that allow you to execute trades. These permissions typically involve the ability to place orders, modify orders, and access trading-related functions.

Please ensure that the withdrawal function is disabled when creating an API key for Sandwich!

It's worth noting that some exchanges also provide a Read-Only API key option. This type of key allows you to view your portfolio and market data but does not have any trading-related functionality enabled. If you only need to monitor your positions and market activity without trading, you can choose the Read-Only option for your API key.

When generating an API key, it's important to carefully review and select the necessary permissions based on your trading requirements. Make sure to follow the exchange's guidelines and security practices when creating and managing your API keys to ensure the appropriate level of access and protection for your trading activities.
