Check Ed25519 support for new connections. Binance labels HMAC deprecated; that is a migration signal, not proof that every existing connection has already stopped.</description><pubDate>Sat, 12 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Which IP belongs on a cloud tool’s allowlist?</title><link>https://kevqo.com/en/guides/ip-allowlist/</link><guid>https://kevqo.com/en/guides/ip-allowlist/</guid><description>Trace the actual outbound connection before changing IP restrictions for a cloud portfolio tool. Allow the trusted address that actually sends API requests. Your browser’s public IP is often different from a cloud provider’s outbound server address.</description><pubDate>Sat, 12 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Testnet shows different balances: check the environment first</title><link>https://kevqo.com/en/guides/testnet-vs-live/</link><guid>https://kevqo.com/en/guides/testnet-vs-live/</guid><description>Separate Spot Testnet, production account data and a tool’s local simulation before interpreting its balance display. Spot Testnet assets are test data. A successful test does not establish that your production account is connected, and real deposits are not a repair step.</description><pubDate>Sat, 12 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Pause on 429: coordinating retries behind a shared IP</title><link>https://kevqo.com/en/guides/rate-limits-and-retries/</link><guid>https://kevqo.com/en/guides/rate-limits-and-retries/</guid><description>Review manual refreshes, background synchronization and shared outbound capacity before retrying a read request. A 429 response signals a rate limit. Preserve the waiting information, pause related retries and coordinate other jobs sharing the outbound connection.</description><pubDate>Sat, 12 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Diagnosing -1021 and -1022 without exposing credentials</title><link>https://kevqo.com/en/guides/timestamp-and-signature/</link><guid>https://kevqo.com/en/guides/timestamp-and-signature/</guid><description>Separate request timing from signature construction and collect useful evidence for the tool maintainer. For -1021, investigate timestamp acceptance. For -1022, investigate signing inputs and matching credentials. Broader account permissions do not replace either diagnosis.</description><pubDate>Sat, 12 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Planned key rotation or immediate revocation?</title><link>https://kevqo.com/en/guides/key-rotation/</link><guid>https://kevqo.com/en/guides/key-rotation/</guid><description>Choose the right sequence for maintenance or suspected exposure, then verify the new read path and retire old credentials. Planned rotation focuses on a controlled cutover. Suspected exposure calls for revoking affected access and addressing the exposure before reconnecting.</description><pubDate>Sat, 12 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>What data does a read-only connection leave behind?</title><link>https://kevqo.com/en/guides/read-only-privacy/</link><guid>https://kevqo.com/en/guides/read-only-privacy/</guid><description>Map portfolio data, cached copies and deletion requests separately from revoking the API credential. Read-only access limits actions, not every privacy consequence. Revocation stops future authorized access through that credential; existing copies require a separate retention and deletion review.</description><pubDate>Sat, 12 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Leaving a trading tool: what to check after uninstalling</title><link>https://kevqo.com/en/guides/revoke-tool-access/</link><guid>https://kevqo.com/en/guides/revoke-tool-access/</guid><description>Separate uninstalling, revoking API access and checking remaining platform state. Uninstalling or signing out does not revoke API permissions. Handle the relevant key in official API Management and review tasks that may still be active.</description><pubDate>Sat, 12 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>API connection failed: checking -2015, -1021, -1022 and 429</title><link>https://kevqo.com/en/guides/api-connection-errors/</link><guid>https://kevqo.com/en/guides/api-connection-errors/</guid><description>Separate access, time, signature and rate-limit problems without blindly widening permissions. Record a non-sensitive error code and time, then investigate its category. One code can have more than one cause.</description><pubDate>Sat, 12 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Your first tool connection: five things to check before setup</title><link>https://kevqo.com/en/guides/connection-checklist/</link><guid>https://kevqo.com/en/guides/connection-checklist/</guid><description>Review provider identity, key type, permissions, outbound IP and revocation before connecting. Check tool and account compatibility first, then configure access in official API Management. Never send credentials to a tutorial site or an unsolicited “setup agent.”</description><pubDate>Sat, 12 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Read, trade and withdraw: what does each permission allow?</title><link>https://kevqo.com/en/guides/read-trade-withdraw/</link><guid>https://kevqo.com/en/guides/read-trade-withdraw/</guid><description>Compare a portfolio dashboard with a trading tool to understand access boundaries. Set permissions around the task. A portfolio dashboard normally needs reading; trading access can cause losses; withdrawal access is not a routine requirement for connecting tools.</description><pubDate>Sat, 12 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Prices, portfolios or trades: do you need an API key?</title><link>https://kevqo.com/en/guides/do-you-need-api/</link><guid>https://kevqo.com/en/guides/do-you-need-api/</guid><description>Decide whether a task needs account access before connecting a third-party tool. Public prices usually need no account key. Reading private balances and executing trades are separate tasks with different access requirements.</description><pubDate>Sat, 12 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
