API guide

Create a secure MEXC 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.

  • Enable only the available read permissions.
  • Disable Spot Trading, Futures Trading and Withdraw.
  • Use a dedicated key for the simulated trial and add the IP whitelist when available.

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

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