Before we start, we highly recommend using our ByBit Quick Connect for seamless integration with just one click and no hassle. This integration requires you to connect to your ByBit account, and will create your API key with the required permissions automatically (including for Unified Trading Account).

Note: connecting a ByBit UTA (Unified Trading Account) will require additional permissions as detailed here:

Under the API management, click 'Create New Key' and choose 'System-generated API Keys'.

Choose the 'Connect to Third-Party Applications' option and use the dropdown to select 'Cornix'.


Step 4 - Set the API Permissions

Proceed to set up the API connection permissions under the 'API permissions (check all that apply)' section.

  • Select the 'Read-Write' option

  • Under 'Contract' choose 'Orders' and 'Positions'

  • Under 'Spot' choose 'Trade'

  • Click 'Submit'


Step 5 - Security Verification

You will be requested to pass a Security Verification:


Step 6 - Copy your keys to Cornix

Copy the 'API Key' and 'Secret Key' to your Cornix bot, by clicking the copy button next to the keys.
