Creating API Keys
Step 1: Open API Keys in Bitget

Step 5: Copy Your API Key & Secret
Copy and store your credentials securely. The secret is usually only shown once.
- Copy the Access API key
- Copy the Secret key
Bitget requires a passphrase in addition to the API key and secret. Store it securely — it cannot be recovered after creation.
Step 6: Open Crodl Settings
Back in Crodl, open Settings so you can add your Bitget API key.
- Click "Settings" in the left sidebar
Step 7: Add Your Bitget Key to Crodl
In Settings → API Keys, select Bitget and paste your credentials.
- Select the Bitget tab
- Enter a label for this key (e.g. "Main Account")
- Paste your Bitget API Key
- Paste your Bitget API Secret
- Paste your Bitget API Passphrase
- Choose the mode (Live or Demo) to match your Bitget key
- Click "Add API Key"
Step 8: Verify the Connection
Verify the key to confirm Crodl can connect and trade using your new API credentials.
- Click "Verify" next to the key you just added
A green "Connected" badge confirms everything is working.
Use Read-write permission if you want Crodl to place trades. Read-only keys will only allow viewing positions and balances.
