How to connect to BitMart with API Keys

To allow your bot to interact with BitMart, you will need to create an API Key. This key acts as a connection between Cryptohopper and the exchange, enabling your bot to perform tasks such as placing automated orders and accessing your balance for its calculations. Essentially, the API Key serves as a way for your bot to communicate with the exchange and execute the actions necessary for automated trading.

You might encounter an error in Cryptohopper's onboarding process when connecting to BitMart, even if your API Keys are correct. The most common reasons include having no funds in your exchange account, having no funds in your trading account (as some crypto exchanges differentiate between funding and trading accounts), or not being a verified exchange user (KYC). In this case, please click on 'Continue without testing'. You can always check your API Keys later in your Base config.

Step one

If you haven't already, go to BitMart's website and create an account.

Step two

Verify your account and get started on the API by navigating to API Management.

Step three

Add a Memo to your API Keys and select Spot-Trade. Navigate to Cryptohopper and copy the IP addresses. Next, paste these IP addresses under “Binding IP Address” and click on “Add”.

Step four

Confirm the API Key using the email verification code.

Step five

Copy and paste the Access Key (API Key) and Private Key in the corresponding fields on Cryptohopper and paste the Memo under “Passphrase” on Cryptohopper. Click on Continue and you’re connected to BitMart.

Unable to see exchange balance

If you are unable to see your exchange balance, there may be a few issues preventing your bot from synchronizing with your exchange. One common cause is "auto-fill" being enabled in your browser. To fix this, you can try disabling auto-fill, using incognito mode, using a different browser, or disabling your password manager. For more information, you can watch our Cryptohopper Academy video on this subject or check our troubleshooting article.
