How to create and set up Crypto.com API key

In this article, we will show you how to create, configure, and connect your Crypto.com exchange 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 unavailable 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).

Log in to your Crypto.com exchange account or create a new one.

From your account, navigate to "Settings" → "API keys".

3. Enable 2FA

To create an API key, go to the "Security" page and enable 2FA verification.

Attention
Without additional security verification, the Crypto.com exchange will not allow you to proceed with creating API keys.

4. Create an API key

In the "API keys" tab, click the [Create a new API key] button.

5. Label your API key

Give your API key any name, so you can easily understand that this key is connected to your Bitsgap account. Next, enter a 2FA code to generate the API key.

6. Go to Bitsgap > My Exchanges

Log in to your Bitsgap account and go to the "My Exchanges" page. Click [Add new exchange].

7. Select Crypto.com from the list and copy Bitsgap IP addresses

To get the list of trusted IPs, click on the "Copy" icon and save the addresses somewhere safe (in a notepad, for example). We will need these IPs later when setting up your API permissions.

8. Return to Crypto.com and match API permissions

Before adjusting the API permissions, do the following:

1. Copy your API key somewhere safe.
2. Copy your Secret key somewhere safe.

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

3. Can Read on (active by default);
4. Enable Trading on;
5. IP Whitelist - insert the IPs copied from the My Exchanges tab.

Note
Copy the IP addresses and add them to your API key one by one. When you've inserted an IP address, click the plus icon to add the next one.

6. When ready, press [Save].

9. Go back to Bitsgap > My Exchanges and enter your API info

In the “Connect New Exchange” window, do the following:

1. Choose Crypto.com;
2. Paste your API key;
3. Paste your Secret key;
4. Click [Connect].

10. Connection check

If everything is done correctly, you will see Crypto.com added to the list of your connected exchanges with the "Connected" status and the trading balance available on your account.

How to replace an API key

1. Go to Bitsgap > My Exchanges page

Go to the "My Exchanges" page, and find your Crypto.com API key. Click [More] (three dots) in the top right corner, then select [Replace API key].

2. Renew the API key

Insert your new API and Secret keys. Proceed by clicking the [Replace] button to update your API key settings.

Note
Make sure to add our trusted IP addresses to your new API key.

3. Check the connection status

If everything is done correctly, you will see Crypto.com added to the list of your connected exchanges with the "Connected" status and the trading balance available on your account.
