Connect Bybit
How to create and configure Bybit API keys for Pagani Platform
Pagani Platform connects to Bybit through API keys. This guide walks you through creating API keys on Bybit and adding them to Pagani.
Create Bybit API Keys
Log in to Bybit — Go to bybit.com and sign in to your account.
Open API Management — Navigate to Account → API Management (or go directly to the API management page).
Create a new API key — Click Create New Key and select System-generated API Keys.
Configure permissions — Set the following permissions:
| Permission | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Read | Yes | Market data, account info, positions |
| Trade | Yes | Place and manage orders |
| Wallet | No | Not needed for trading |
| Transfer | No | Not needed — keep disabled for safety |
Set IP restriction (recommended) — For maximum security, restrict the API key to your IP address. Leave unrestricted only if you have a dynamic IP.
Save your keys — Copy both the API Key and API Secret. The secret is only shown once.
Never share your API secret. Treat it like a password. If you suspect your keys have been compromised, delete them immediately from the Bybit dashboard and create new ones.
Add Keys to Pagani
Open Settings in Pagani Platform.
Navigate to the API Credentials section.
Paste your API Key and API Secret.
Click Save. Pagani will test the connection and confirm the key permissions.
Security
- API keys are encrypted and stored locally on your machine
- Keys are never transmitted to Pagani servers — all API calls go directly from your machine to Bybit
- You can update or remove your keys at any time from Settings
Testing the Connection
After saving your keys, Pagani automatically verifies the connection by:
- Checking API key validity
- Confirming required permissions (Read + Trade)
- Establishing WebSocket connections for real-time data
If the connection test fails, see Troubleshooting for common API key issues.
