How to Create and Set Up Crypto.com API Key
In this guide, we will show you how to create, configure, and connect your Crypto.com API key to the Bitsgap platform. Bitsgap allows you to manage multiple cryptocurrency exchanges through a unified interface, with access to advanced tools not available on the exchanges themselves.
Overview
Steps to Create and Set Up the Crypto.com API Key
1. Log in to Crypto.com Exchange
Log into your Crypto.com exchange account or create a new one if you don’t already have one.
2. Go to the API Page
From your account dashboard, navigate to Settings → API keys.
3. Enable 2FA
To create an API key, enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) from the Security page. This additional security step is required by Crypto.com to proceed with the API key creation process.
4. Create an API Key
In the API keys section, click on the [Create a new API key] button to begin the process.
5. Label Your API Key
Give your API key a meaningful name, such as "Bitsgap" so you can easily identify it later. Then, enter the 2FA code to generate the API key.
6. Go to Bitsgap > My Exchanges
Log into your Bitsgap account and navigate to the My Exchanges page. Click [Add new exchange].
7. Select Crypto.com from the List and Copy Bitsgap IP Addresses
In the Bitsgap platform, select Crypto.com from the list of exchanges. Then, click on the Copy icon to copy the trusted IP addresses provided by Bitsgap. Save these IPs somewhere safe (e.g., in a notepad) as you will need them when setting up your API permissions.
8. Return to Crypto.com and Match API Permissions
Go back to the Crypto.com API key page, and configure the following permissions:
- Can Read: Enabled (this is active by default).
- Enable Trading: Turned on.
- IP Whitelist: Insert the IP addresses copied from the My Exchanges tab. You can add multiple IP addresses by clicking the plus icon for each one.
- Once done, click [Save] to finalize the permissions.
9. Go Back to Bitsgap > My Exchanges and Enter Your API Info
In the Connect New Exchange window on the Bitsgap platform, do the following:
- Choose Crypto.com.
- Paste your API key and Secret key.
- Click [Connect].
10. Connection Check
If everything is configured correctly, Crypto.com will be added to your connected exchanges list with the "Connected" status. You will also see your trading balance reflected on your account.
How to Replace an API Key
If you need to replace your Crypto.com API key, follow these steps:
1. Go to Bitsgap > My Exchanges Page
Navigate to the My Exchanges page in your Bitsgap account. Find your Crypto.com API key, click the [More] button (three dots) in the top right corner, and select [Replace API key].
2. Renew the API Key
Insert your new API key and Secret key into the provided fields, then click [Replace] to update your settings.
- Note: Make sure to add the trusted IP addresses to your new API key.
3. Check the Connection Status
Once your new API key is updated, you should see Crypto.com listed in your connected exchanges with the "Connected" status and your trading balance available.
