Binance API Error Code -1002: How to Fix It

Q: What does Binance error code -1002 mean?

Error -1002 means your API key is not authorized to access the requested endpoint, or your IP address is not whitelisted for API access. This is a security measure to protect your account.

Q: How do I whitelist my IP address on Binance?

Go to your Binance account's API Management section, select your API key, and add your current IP address to the IP Access Restrictions list. You can find your IP by searching 'what is my IP' in Google.

Q: Can I disable IP restrictions for my Binance API key?

Yes, you can disable IP restrictions, but this reduces security. Only disable if you have a dynamic IP or use multiple networks. Monitor your account activity closely if IP restrictions are disabled.

Q: Why do I get -1002 error even with correct API permissions?

This can happen if you're using the wrong endpoint URL, exceeding rate limits, or if your API key has expired. Verify you're using the correct endpoint for your trading type and check rate limits.

Q: How often should I regenerate my Binance API keys?

For security, consider regenerating API keys every 3-6 months or immediately if you suspect they've been compromised. Always use strong, unique keys and never share them.

Abstract

Binance error code -1002 occurs when your API key lacks proper authorization for a specific endpoint or your IP address isn't whitelisted. This security error prevents your trading bot or application from accessing Binance's API services.
