generate_kalshi_keypair

`generate_kalshi_keypair()`

Generate an RSA Key Pair for Kalshi API Authentication

Usage

generate_kalshi_keypair(private_key_path = "kalshi-key.key")

Arguments

Argument	Description
`private_key_path`	Character. The file path where the private key should be saved. Defaults to ‘“kalshi-key.key”’.

Value

Returns the public key PEM string invisibly.

Description

Generates a 2048-bit RSA key pair required for Kalshi’s V2 API authentication. Saves the private key to a local file and prints the public key to the console for uploading to the Kalshi Developer Dashboard.

Details

Kalshi uses RSA-PSS signing for API requests. To use the API, you must: 1. Generate a key pair using this function. 2. Keep the ‘.key’ file secure (add it to your ‘.gitignore’). 3. Copy the public key text printed in the console. 4. Log into the Kalshi Dashboard and upload the public key to receive your Key ID.
