API Key Requirements

For retrieving market data through TWM, an API key and secret are not required from Bybit. If you only need market data, you do not even need a Bybit account; simply set up a connection in TWM without entering any keys.

However, an API key and secret must be set up if you intend to place orders or read your account information via TWM.

  1. Prerequisite: Unified Trading Account (UTA)
  2. Activate it by going here: https://www.bybit.com/user/assets/home/tradingaccount
  3. And click on "Upgrade Now"

Here you can find additional info about UTA Account: https://www.bybit.com/en/help-center/article/FAQ-Unified-Trading-Account

Before setting up an API key for trading or account access, it is crucial to ensure your Bybit account is configured as an Unified Trading Account (UTA), since TWM does not support the classic Bybit account structure.

Identifying your account type:

If your Bybit dashboard lists "Spot" and "Derivatives" (or Futures) as separate balances or sections, you likely have a classic account. An UTA merges these into a single account.

Upgrading to UTA:

For information on how to upgrade your account to a UTA, please contact Bybit support. Often, this is a straightforward process that can be initiated by clicking an "Upgrade to UTA" button or prompt within the Bybit interface and typically takes only a couple of minutes.

1. You can access Bybit's API management page by logging into your account and navigating to https://www.bybit.com/app/user/api-management.

2. Click on create a New Key
