Bitget API keys are the link between FuturesBot and your Bitget account. This guide shows the secure creation with the minimum required permissions.
All the necessary steps in the right order.
Log in to Bitget.com with your regular account. 2FA should be active — if not, activate it NOW (e.g. with Google Authenticator).
Click the profile icon at the top right -> 'API Management'. If you have never created API keys before: click 'Create API Key'.
System-generated API key (not self-generated) is the standard. Choose a descriptive name (e.g. 'FuturesBot Live' or 'FuturesBot Paper').
Activate: READ and TRADE (for futures/contract). DEACTIVATE: withdraw/transfer. NEVER activate withdraw permissions — FuturesBot does not need them.
Enter your IP address (find it via whatismyip.com). Separate multiple IPs with commas. For a VPS: the VPS IP. This makes misuse harder if a key falls into the wrong hands.
Bitget asks for a self-chosen passphrase. REMEMBER IT — it is needed for API use. Store the 3 values (API key, secret, passphrase) SECURELY — they are displayed only ONCE after creation.
All steps done? Start the bot and wait for the first paper trade.
