Bitget API Key Setup
Create a Bitget API key with trading permissions for automated trading.
Before You Start
- A verified Bitget account
- Google 2FA or email verification enabled
Setup Steps
1
Navigate to API Keys
Log in to your Bitget account. Click your profile icon in the top-right corner, then select "API Keys" from the menu.
2
Create API Key
Click "Create API Key" and select "System-generated" as the key type.
3
Configure API Key Settings
Fill in the following:
- **Name/Label**: Enter a descriptive name (e.g., "10Quant")
- **Passphrase**: Create a strong passphrase and remember it — you will need it in 10Quant
- **Permission**: Select "Read-Write"
- **Check specific permissions**:
✅ Spot > Trade
✅ Read
❌ DO NOT check "Withdraw"
Click "Next" when done.
Do NOT check "Withdraw". Only Read and Trade permissions are needed.
4
Complete Verification
Complete the security verification using Google Authenticator code, email code, and/or phone SMS as prompted.
5
Copy Your API Keys
After verification, copy the following:
- **Access API Key** (API Key)
- **Secret Key**
- **Passphrase** (the one you created in Step 3)
The Secret Key will only be shown once.
6
Add API Key to 10Quant
Go to the 10Quant platform and navigate to Settings > Exchange API. Click "Add Key", select Bitget as the exchange, then paste the API Key, Secret Key, and Passphrase. Click "Verify" to confirm the connection is working.
Important Warnings
- Never grant Withdraw permission.
- Remember your Passphrase — it is required for API authentication in 10Quant.
- Copy your Secret Key immediately — it will only be shown once.
Helpful Tips
- Bitget has separate permissions for spot and futures — make sure to enable the correct ones.
- You can create multiple API keys for different trading strategies.
