Step 1

Open Bybit API Management

Sign in on the Bybit website — API keys cannot be created from the mobile app — and open API Management. For a demo account, use the testnet page instead.

  • New accounts cannot create API keys for the first 48 hours after registration

Step 2

Click Create New Key

On the API Management page, click Create New Key in the top right, then choose System-generated API Keys — TradeAdapter signs requests with an HMAC key pair and cannot use the RSA self-generated option.

Step 3

Set usage, permissions and IP restriction

Configure the key for automated trading and bind it to the TradeAdapter address. A key left on No IP restriction stops working after three months and cannot trade Spot at all.

  • API Key Usage — API Transaction
  • API Key Permissions — Read-Write
  • Enable Unified Trading for Spot and Contract, matching your strategy
  • Never enable withdrawal permissions on an automation key

Step 4

Confirm with 2FA and save the key pair

Enter your Google Authenticator code to finish. The API secret is shown only once — copy the key and secret before closing the dialog.

  • After you change your Bybit login password, existing API keys expire within seven days and must be recreated

Step 5
