Create an API key in Bybit
In Bybit, open API Management and create a key for an external application. Give it a Kairox-specific name so its purpose is easy to identify.
Crypto exchange
Connect Bybit to Kairox
Kairox uses Bybit to prepare and send spot or futures crypto orders according to the selected mode. The connection uses a Bybit API key with read and trading permissions.
Before you start
Prepare the account before creating the connection
Check that your Bybit account is configured for the market you want to use.Enable account security before creating the API key.Decide whether this connection should stay limited to spot or also cover derivatives.
Step 1
Create access on Bybit
This part happens in the broker or platform interface. The goal is to create credentials dedicated to Kairox, with only the permissions needed for trading.
Configure permissions
Add the read and trading permissions required for the target market. Keep withdrawals disabled because Kairox does not need them to analyze or execute.
Keep the credentials temporarily
Copy the API Key and API Secret as soon as they are generated. Store them only long enough to save them in Kairox.
Step 2
Create the connection in Kairox
Once access is ready, create the connection from the Kairox dashboard. The system will use it to prepare orders according to market, symbol, and risk limits.
Select Bybit
In Dashboard, open Connect Brokers & Exchanges, choose a crypto category, then select Bybit.
Fill in the connection
Add a clear name, paste the API Key and API Secret, then create the connection. The name should distinguish a test, main, or futures account.
Check the market
In trading settings, verify that spot or futures matches the Bybit permissions. A spot account must not receive a futures order.
