1. Create API Key and Security Authentication

Go to your Bybit API management page
After logging in, go to your Bybit API management page, found under [Profile] > [API]


Click [API Management] > [Create New Key]


When the [Select Your API Key Type] pop-up appears, choose [System-generated API Keys].


Complete the Google 2FA authentication process.


2. API Permission Settings


In the [API Key Usage] section, select [API Transaction]. Under [Name for the API Key], enter a name that is visible only to you (optional).
Under [API Key Permissions], choose the appropriate permission level:

  • Read-Write – for copy trading or position liquidation features

  • Read-Only – for simple portfolio viewing


In the [IP Access Restrictions] section, select [Only IPs with permissions granted are allowed to access the OpenAPI]. Then paste the provided IP address into [Add IP addresses] at the bottom.
Copy trusted IP

13.124.244.85,3.35.98.109,13.209.111.74,13.124.63.60,15.165.156.238
  • This blocks external access and keeps your account secure.

  • If not entered, the connection will be terminated after 90 days.


Select permissions as shown below and click [Submit]


3. Set and save API key permissions


After saving the issued API Key and Secret Key, connect it to your League of Traders account.

The secret key will not appear again, so please be mindful. You could permanently lose access to your API Key if you lose these codes.
