How to enable WhatsMiner API

Download the WhatsMiner Tool

Start by downloading the official WhatsMiner Tool from the Whatsminer website. This utility is required for API activation and for setting a secure password.

Scan and Add Miners

1. Open the WhatsMiner Tool.

2. Click the “Miner IP” button to begin network setup.

3. In the IP management window, enter your local IP range and press “Add”, then “OK” to confirm.

4. Click “Start” to scan for devices—your miners should appear shortly in the list.

Update the Admin Password

The API will not work if your devices are still using the default “admin” password.

⚠️ Important: Passwords must be changed through the WhatsMiner Tool—changes made via the web interface won’t activate API access.

💡 You can keep using "admin" as the new password, but it still needs to be updated through the tool to enable the API.

Steps:

1. Select your devices by ticking the checkboxes.

2. Click “Password” in the top menu.

3. Choose adminaccount, enter the current password, then set and confirm a new one.

4. Click “Start update” to apply.

Enable API Communication

Once the password is updated:

1. Click “Remote Ctrl”.

2. Select “Miner API Switch”.

3. In the new window, choose “Enable” and confirm.
