Create a Bitget API key

Bitget keys have three parts: key, secret and the passphrase you choose.

Before you start

  • Use a sub-account with a limited balance if you can.
  • For practice use Bitget's Demo Trading and choose “Testnet” when you add the key.

Steps

  1. 1Log in to Bitget and open your profile → API Key Management.
  2. 2Create API Key → “System-generated”.
  3. 3Choose a name and a passphrase. Write the passphrase down — you need it in the app.
  4. 4Permissions: “Read and write”; tick Spot trade, and Futures for futures bots.
  5. 5Leave Withdraw and Transfer unticked.
  6. 6Confirm and copy the API Key and Secret.
  7. 7In the app: API keys → Add key → Bitget, paste key, secret and passphrase, and save.

Tip: Lost the passphrase? It can't be recovered — delete the key at Bitget and create a new one.
