For those who have IT knowledge, I recommend using IP Whitelist, which can reduce the risk of password leakage and harm. For those who are not sure how to set it, just leave it blank.

The generated API key is shown in Figure 4.

(iv) Tips

Main Account API and Sub-account API

Please note that the API generated by the main account can be used to switch accounts to sub-accounts.

The API generated by the sub-account can only control the sub-account.

Notes on saving and using APIs

Don’t put the API Key in your cloud drive, and don’t save the API QR code image in the cloud sync album.

Delete unneeded API keys, thus reducing the exposure to attacks.

Reset your API keys regularly.

Please note: Greeks.live will not store any of your API key information. You are solely responsible for the secure use of your API keys.
