Getting API Keys for Bybit

Configuring IP Whitelist

When creating API keys, it is recommended to specify a list of allowed IP addresses. Only devices with the specified IPs will be able to use the key — this protects against unauthorized access, even if an attacker obtains your keys.

Which IPs to specify:

• the public IP address of the server running the MoonTrader core

• the public IP address of the server with Watchdog monitoring system (if used)

Configuration:

1. Select "Only OpenAPI has access to IP with special permission"

2. Add the external static IP of your server with MoonTrader core

3. If using Watchdog on a separate server — also add its IP

Saving Keys

Save the API Secret — it is displayed only once.
