# App Builders

> Build trading and portfolio apps over customers' own WhiteBIT accounts with a partner-held API key issued through the Fast API Key flow (Model B).

App Builders build over customers' own WhiteBIT accounts: each end user keeps a personal account and grants the partner a scoped API key through the [Fast API Key](/guides/fast-api-key-integration) flow. WhiteBIT holds custody and performs identity verification; the partner acts within the permissions the user grants. This is WhiteBIT's [Model B](/concepts/integration-models), and it fits far more than embedded trading alone — any app that reads or trades on a user's own account.

## What App Builders can build

* **Portfolio and analytics apps** — read a user's balances and activity to present holdings, performance, and tax reporting ([Model B](/concepts/integration-models)).
* **Trading bots and signal execution** — place orders on a user's account under a trade-scoped key ([building a trading bot](/guides/building-a-trading-bot)).
* **Copy and social trading** — mirror a lead trader's orders into followers' own accounts ([Copy trading](/guides/copy-trading)).
* **Charting and education tools** — add on-chart or in-app execution over the user's own account.

## Who App Builders is for

* **Read-only apps** — portfolio trackers and aggregators, tax and accounting tools, and referral apps that read a user's own activity without moving funds.
* **Trade-execute apps** — trading bots, copy and social trading, charting with execution, algorithmic and quant platforms, and education platforms with in-app execution.

## How it works

The end user authorizes the partner on the WhiteBIT consent screen, which issues an OAuth-based API key scoped to the permissions the user selects — so partner access is bounded by the grant. Order placement and withdrawal are separate permissions; a trade-scoped key cannot move funds off the account. The [Fast API Key integration](/guides/fast-api-key-integration) documents the authorization flow, and the [integration models](/concepts/integration-models) concept compares Model B with the partner-operated sub-account model (Model A).

## Program terms

Attribution and any fee-share for apps built on customers' own accounts are arranged separately from the account relationship, since the end user is a direct WhiteBIT customer.

Revenue-share terms depend on the program. Embedded Trading partners earn a share of the trading fees that referred customers generate across all products, with payouts initiated by the partner, most commonly once per month — see [WhiteBIT Embedded Trading](https://institutional.whitebit.com/broker-program) for current rates. Other partner programs confirm commercial terms during onboarding.

## How to get started

Review the [integration models](/concepts/integration-models) concept to confirm Model B is the right fit, then build against the [Fast API Key integration](/guides/fast-api-key-integration). Partner enrollment and attribution go to `institutional@whitebit.com`.
