API guide

Create a secure Bybit API key

Minimum configuration required to operate all three bots without ever granting TIYlab permission to withdraw your funds.

Optional step: verify the exchange

The free simulated trial starts without an API. After the first meaningful simulated decision, you may create a strictly read-only key to verify account compatibility; this step never resets the trial.

  • Select Read-Only mode.
  • Grant no Contract, Spot Trade, transfer, Earn or withdrawal permission.
  • Use a dedicated key for the simulated trial.

To switch to live mode later, TIYlab revokes this key and requires a new live key.

Live key: permissions to enable

Unified Trading Account (UTA V5) required.

Optional Macro lending: if you enable it, Bybit may require an Earn / Easy Earn permission. Enable only that product permission if present, never Withdraw.

Open Bybit

Exchange interfaces and labels may change. Review every permission before confirming the key. TIYlab is software, not financial advice.
