# How to add your API Key

{% hint style="info" %}
**To enable trading** in the Volven Terminal, you are required to add an API Key for the exchange you would like to trade on. These pages are dedicated to help you with that.
{% endhint %}

## Exchange Links

You'll find where to register your API Keys under "*Exchange Links*" in your account settings.

1. Give your API Key a name. It can be anything, but we recommend to name it according to where you are trading for ease of mind.
2. Paste your API Key
3. Paste your API Secret
4. *(If required)* Type in your passphrase

Once complete, your exchange connection(s) should look like this:

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.volven.io/getting-started/how-to-add-your-api-key.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
