Does Trade Reclaim Need API Keys or Account Access?

Trade Reclaim never asks for API keys, passwords, or withdrawal access. It only uses your public Exchange UID. Here is exactly what it can read and what it cannot do.

No. Trade Reclaim never asks for API keys, passwords, or account access of any kind. The only thing you give it is your public Exchange UID, the same ID number anyone can see next to your account on the exchange. That is enough to track your cashback, and nothing more.

Why no API keys are needed

Trade Reclaim is a non-custodial cashback platform. When you sign up to a supported exchange through the Trade Reclaim referral link and enter your UID, the exchange tags your trading volume to Trade Reclaim's affiliate account. The exchange then reports that volume directly to Trade Reclaim through its affiliate dashboard.

Because the reporting comes from the exchange's side, Trade Reclaim has no reason to touch your account. There is no read-only key, no trade key, no withdrawal key. Just the UID.

What Trade Reclaim CAN read

Your public UID that you linked in the dashboard.
The affiliate-reported trading volume tied to that UID, sent by the exchange.
Your email and basic support data.

That is the full list. The trading volume figure is what determines your cashback, which is 30-50% of the affiliate commission, returned to you in USDT.

What Trade Reclaim CANNOT do

Cannot see your balances or open positions. The UID exposes none of that.
Cannot move, withdraw, or transfer funds. There is no withdrawal access.
Cannot place, cancel, or modify trades. No trade permission exists.
Cannot log into your account. No password, no API secret.

The exchange keeps 100% control of your account at all times. Trade Reclaim sits on the affiliate side, reading a volume number, and never reaches into your account.

Note: If a page or message ever asks you for an API key, secret, or password "for cashback," it is not Trade Reclaim. Trade Reclaim only requires an email and your public UID, and requires no KYC of its own (though individual exchanges may).

How linking works in practice

Sign up to your exchange through the Trade Reclaim link for that exchange.
Find your public UID on the exchange and copy it.
Paste the UID into the Trade Reclaim setup wizard. This takes about 60 seconds per exchange.
UID verification can take up to 48 hours, then cashback accrues from your next trade.

FAQ

Is my data safe without API access?

Yes. Trade Reclaim is GDPR-compliant, stores only your email, linked UID, and reported volume, encrypts data in transit and at rest, and deletes it within 30 days of account deletion.

Can Trade Reclaim withdraw my crypto?

No. It has no withdrawal access and never holds your funds. Cashback is paid out separately in USDT to a wallet address you set yourself.

What if I already created my exchange API keys?

It makes no difference. Trade Reclaim does not ask for them and cannot use them. Only your public UID matters for tracking cashback.
