MEXC's API doesn't report a key's permissions, so Flowsense asks you to confirm the key is view-only.
- 1On MEXC, open Profile → API Management → Create API key.
- 2Tick only the Futures View permissions. No trading, no withdrawal.
- 3In the IP address field, add the IP addresses shown in Flowsense's connect dialog (each has a copy button): a key bound to them doesn't expire. If the dialog shows none, leave the field empty (the key then lasts 90 days).
- 4Copy the access key and secret key. The secret is shown only once.
- 5In Flowsense, open Integrations, choose MEXC, paste both values and tick I confirm this key is read-only.
MEXC keys without an IP binding expire after 90 days. Bind the key to the IP addresses shown in the connect dialog to avoid that. When sync stops with a key error, create a new key and press Edit on the connection.
The Trade Desk can also place MEXC futures orders (Elite). Turn on trading on the connection with a key that has Futures Order Placing permission on a KYC-verified account; see Turn on trading. Innovation Zone pairs can't be traded through MEXC's API.
Questions
- How often do trades sync?
- Every hour. On connect, Flowsense pulls the history shown on the card (usually the last 90 days), and you can press Sync now on the connection any time.
- Which plan do I need?
- Free includes one exchange connection, synced every 6 hours. Pro and Elite connect every exchange and sync every hour. CSV and screenshot import work on every plan.
- Why are only recent positions imported?
- MEXC's API returns recent closed positions. For older history, export it from MEXC and use CSV import.
