How to create and set up HTX API key

In this article, we will show you how to create, configure, and connect your HTX API key to the Bitsgap platform.

Bitsgap is a trading platform that allows you to work with numerous cryptocurrency exchanges from a unified interface with access to additional tools that are not available on the exchange.

All trading operations are created and processed by using an exchange API key which is unique for every user. An API key is a safe and reliable way to use a platform because it does not give access to your personal data and prevents any funds management (withdrawals & deposits).


1. Log in to HTX

Log in to your HTX account or create a new one.

3. Label your API key and match API key permissions

Give your API key any name (it is your personal choice), so you can easily understand that this key is connected to your Bitsgap account.

Edit your permissions as in the example below. These permissions will allow us to read your history, current balance and execute trades on your exchange account.

Here is the list of required permissions:

  • Read-Only on
  • Trade on
  • Withdraw off
  • Link IP address or IP segment empty
