Creating API Keys

Step 1: Open API Management in Bybit

From the Bybit homepage, open your profile menu and navigate to the API section.

Step 4: Configure Permissions & Security

Set the key usage, name, permissions, and lock it down with IP restrictions.

Configure Permissions & Security

Under API Key Usage, choose "Connect to Third-Party Applications"
Name your key (e.g. "Crodl")
Select the correct access level — use Read-Write for trading (Read-Only will not place orders)
Enable IP restriction so only whitelisted IPs can use the key
Add the Crodl server IP 187.127.209.38
Select the correct account type (e.g. Unified Trading) based on your Bybit setup
Do NOT enable Withdrawal permissions
Click "Submit"

Step 5: Complete Security Verification

Bybit requires email and 2FA verification to create the key.

Complete Security Verification

Enter the email verification code
Enter your Google 2FA code, then continue

Bybit API keys have expiration dates. Check your key's expiration and renew as needed if you encounter authentication errors.

Step 7: Open Crodl Settings

Back in Crodl, open Settings so you can add your Bybit API key.

Open Crodl Settings

Click "Settings" in the left sidebar

Step 8: Add Your Bybit Key to Crodl

In Settings → API Keys, select Bybit and paste your credentials. Choose the correct region endpoint.

Add Your Bybit Key to Crodl

Select the Bybit tab
Enter a label for this key (e.g. "Main Account")
Paste your Bybit API Key
Paste your Bybit API Secret
Choose the mode (Live or Demo) to match your key
Select the correct region endpoint for your Bybit account:

Region	Endpoint
Global (default)	`api.bybit.com`
Netherlands	`api.bybit.nl`
Turkey	`api.bybit-tr.com`
Kazakhstan	`api.bybit.kz`
Georgia	`api.bybitgeorgia.ge`
UAE	`api.bybit.ae`
EEA	`api.bybit.eu`

Click "Add API Key"

Select the region that matches where your Bybit account was registered. The region setting only applies to live keys — demo keys always use the demo endpoint.

Step 9: Verify the Connection

Verify the key to confirm Crodl can connect and trade using your new API credentials.

Verify the Connection

Click "Verify" next to the key you just added

A green "Connected" badge confirms everything is working.

For demo trading, use Bybit's Demo Trading environment on the main site: open your profile menu on bybit.com and switch to Demo Trading, then create the API key there. Demo keys authenticate against api-demo.bybit.com. Keys created on testnet.bybit.com are a different environment and will not work in Crodl.
