Connect an exchange
Bybot connects to MEXC, Bybit, Binance, BingX, Hyperliquid and Pionex through exchange APIs. Your trading funds remain in your exchange account: Bybot can read the account data required for operation and place spot orders, but the connection does not require withdrawal access.
Choose an exchange
- Connect MEXC — create an API key, select permissions, and add the key to Bybot.
- Connect Bybit — create an API key, choose permissions and add the key to Bybot.
- Connect Binance — generate a key in Bybot, register its public key on Binance as Self-generated, and add the API Key to Bybot. No IP whitelist needed.
- Connect BingX — create an API key with Spot Trading only, without withdrawals or an IP whitelist, and add it to Bybot.
- Connect Hyperliquid — create a named API Wallet and add your wallet address and its private key to Bybot. The API Wallet can’t withdraw funds.
- Connect Pionex — create a new key just for the bot with Enable trading, without an IP address, and add it to Bybot. Pionex keys can’t withdraw and live 90 days.

Before creating a key, confirm that you are signed in to the exchange’s official website and that two-factor authentication is enabled.
Use restricted API permissions
Bybot needs account-read and spot-trading permissions. Do not enable withdrawals. After connecting, verify that the key belongs to the intended account, the required spot pair is available, and the balance can cover the complete order plan.
Replace an API key if it was exposed, shared with another person, or stored insecurely. Deleting the key on the exchange immediately removes the bot’s access to that account.
Continue setup
After the connection succeeds, continue to Creating a Bot and calculate the strategy’s complete budget before launch. The DCA strategy guide explains price-based averaging and its risks.
