Create a V5 API key
In OKX, open API, create an API key, and choose a name dedicated to Kairox. OKX will ask for a passphrase, which is required in Kairox.
Crypto exchange
Connect OKX to Kairox
OKX requires three values for a full connection: API Key, API Secret, and passphrase. Kairox uses them to route crypto orders compatible with your configuration.
Before you start
Prepare the account before creating the connection
Prepare an API passphrase that you can enter in Kairox.Check the OKX account you use: trading account, spot, margin, or futures according to your strategy.Keep withdrawals disabled on the API key.
Step 1
Create access on OKX
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.
Set permissions
Enable read and trading. Do not grant withdrawal rights. If you have a fixed IP address, apply an IP restriction to the key.
Copy the three secrets
Retrieve the API Key, API Secret, and passphrase. All three must belong to the same OKX API key.
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.
Choose OKX in Kairox
In Connect Brokers & Exchanges, select a crypto category, then OKX.
Fill in the fields
Add the connection name, API Key, API Secret, and API Passphrase. Without the passphrase, OKX execution will be rejected.
Validate the trading mode
Check that allowed symbols and market type match your OKX account. This avoids sending an order to a product that is not enabled.
Mapping
Fields to complete in Kairox
Use this mapping to avoid pasting a secret into the wrong field. Labels match the Connect Brokers & Exchanges form.
Security
Rules to check before enabling execution
The OKX passphrase is not your account password.Revoke and recreate the key if the passphrase was shared by mistake.Keep withdrawal rights disabled.
Create the connection
Connect OKX from your dashboard
Create or check your keys, then add the connection in Kairox from the user workspace.
