Create API keys

In order to connect CScalp to Bybit, you need to create the keys “API key” and “Secret key” on the exchange website. This key bundle is the equivalent of a login and password. The trader can use up to 5 key pairs.

Attention! In order to create keys, you must configure two-factor Bybit authentication.

1. Follow API

Sign in your personal account of Bybit exchange. Move the cursor over the profile icon at the top of the menu. From the drop-down list, click on the “API” item.

2. Create “API” and “API secret”

Read the API key information carefully and click on «Create New Key».

The exchange will offer to create “API keys created by the system” or “Self-generated API keys”. In the first case, the keys are generated by the exchange, in the second – by the user through a special utility. We will consider the first option.

Configuring API Key Settings:

• Set the “Connect to Third-Party Applications” option and select “CScalp“.
• Enable the “Read and Write” permission to allow the terminal to send orders to the exchange.
• Enable the “Orders“, “Positions“, “USDC Derivatives Trading“, and “Trade” permissions to be able to trade on the spot market, USDT futures, USDC futures, and inverse futures when connecting to Bybit: UTA in CScalp. Other permissions are not required for trading in CScalp.
• Click “Submit” and complete the security verification.

Done, API keys are created! Copy “API key” and “API secret” and go to CScalp.

The “API Secret” key is displayed once – when created. We copy it immediately to connect the terminal to the exchange. It is not necessary to save and store the key in notes on your phone or “on a piece of paper”. If necessary, you can always re-create the keys in your Bybit personal account.

Important! Never share API keys with third parties.
