API key generation

Fusion API, Fusion MCP and Fusion CLI all use API key authentication. The same key works with either product.

Create an API key in your Bitpanda account:

Steps:

Open your account settings

Navigate to API Keys

Switch to the "Fusion" tab

Enter a name for your key

Select an expiration date (max 1 year)

Choose required scopes

Click "Generate new API key"

Copy and store the key securely (it is shown only once)

When creating a key, you must define its permissions.

Scope	What it enables
Read	Market data, account info, order and trade history
Trade	Create and cancel orders (requires Read)
Transfer	Move funds between wallets

Use the least privilege principle. Only enable what your application needs.

See the Getting started guide for Fusion API, Fusion MCP, and Fusion CLI.
