How to Connect

Simple setup steps, safety notes, and official Bybit docs you can read outside Night Bot.

Setup Steps

Get your key safely and connect it to Night Bot.

Open Bybit API Management on the website, not the mobile app: Mainnet or Testnet.
Click Create New Key and choose a system-generated API key. Night Bot uses the normal API key plus secret flow described in Bybit's HMAC integration guide.
Set the permissions needed for trading and account monitoring. Night Bot is built around Bybit's trading, position, and wallet-balance APIs, so it does not need withdrawal permissions.
Copy the API Key and API Secret right away. Keep the secret safe. Bybit's API-key-information docs show the secret field comes back blank later, so users should treat the secret as a one-time reveal.
Return to this page, paste the key and secret into the Bybit fields, keep Testnet on if you want a safer first run, click Save Settings, then click Refresh to confirm the connection.

Permissions

Use Read and Write if you want Night Bot to place trades. If you only want to test connection and view account data first, start with Read Only.
Enable ContractTrade permissions for Order and Position. Those are the key trade-management permissions Night Bot relies on for perpetuals.
If Bybit shows wallet-transfer permissions such as AccountTransfer, SubMemberTransfer, or Withdraw, leave them off unless you personally need them for something outside Night Bot.
Keep Withdraw disabled. Night Bot is not designed to move funds off Bybit.
If you run Night Bot from a fixed VPS or server, bind the API key to that trusted IP for extra protection.
For a safer first run, create a Testnet key first, connect it here, and confirm everything works before moving to mainnet.
