BYDFi API Key FAQs

1. Why can't I enable permissions other than "read"?

We strongly recommend that you do not enable permissions beyond "read" unless you’ve set proper IP access restrictions.

API keys without IP restrictions are limited to "read" permissions only.

To enable additional permissions, please add an IP whitelist (IPv4 format) or disable the default security control.

2. Why can't I enable withdrawal permission?

Unfortunately, BYDFi API currently does not support withdrawal functionality.

3. Why can’t my API key enable contract trading permissions?

If the API key was created before your perpetual contract account was enabled, it will not support contract trading.

Please create a new API key after enabling your perpetual contract account.
