2. Once done, generate your API Key by pasting the Public Key to retrieve your API Key and secret.
3. Your API Key has been generated and is ready to use. Please follow your AI Agent’s guide to configure your Bybit API Key.

Step 2: Authorize your AI Agent to connect to the Bybit AI Subaccount on the website. Security verification will be required upon authorization. Then tap Authorize to Connect in the App. The setup is complete.

Note: The API Key will expire in 90 days. For advanced settings such as permanently valid, IP whitelisting, permissions scoping and rate limit configuration, please visit the Bybit web platform.
