Generating API Keys and Setting Up an Account on Bybit

On Bybit, it’s easy to set up a connection to both a personal account and a sub-account. For convenience and to separate your funds and trading activities, you can create a sub-account and follow the steps below, just by switching to the sub-account.

1. In the selection menu under the profile icon, choose “API”:

2. Select “Create New Key”:

3. In the window that appears, select "System-generated API Keys”:

4. Type in any name of your choice for the API key and select "Read-Write".

5. Select “Only IPs with …” and enter the following IP addresses exactly as shown (with commas and no spaces): 34.77.149.145, 34.78.125.125, 35.195.215.50

6. Tick all of the items as seen in the screenshot below and click "Submit":

7. Important: The keys (‘API Key’ and ‘API Secret’) will be shown only once. They must be copied to a secure location or immediately entered into the form on the ‘API Keys’ page.

Select “Bybit,” enter any account name, paste the “API Key” and “API Secret,” and click “Connect.”

What should I check if an error occurs when adding API keys?
