Bybit API

v5 unified trading account · testnet included · CFD-style TradFi pairs on derivatives

Create a key safely

  1. Profile → API → Create New Key → System-generated API keys.
  2. Pick API transaction type: read-only or read-write — Bybit makes the split explicit at creation.
  3. Scope the key to Unified Trading; skip derivatives-only legacy scopes for new code.
  4. Bind your server IP; unbound read-write keys auto-expire after 90 days.
  5. Test everything on testnet.bybit.com first — same API surface, separate keys.

Permissions: what to grant

  • Read-only: wallet, positions, executions — our portfolio views stop here.
  • Read-write (Trade): required only to run strategies live on your account.
  • Withdrawal: never. Keys with withdrawal enabled are refused by our connect flow.

Worth knowing before you code

  • v5 merges spot + derivatives into the Unified Trading Account API.
  • A real testnet (not a flag) is the cleanest sandbox of the three exchanges.
  • Rate limits are per-endpoint and per-UID; headers echo your remaining budget.
Never grant withdrawal permission to anyone. Not to us, not to any service. Our connect flow refuses keys that have it. A trading key can lose a trade; a withdrawal key can lose the account.
