Steps
Go to the Bitvavo exchange website and log in or create an account.
Click your name in the top right corner, select Settings, then click API.
Click Add new API key. You will see a warning — click Got it.
Enter a memorable name for your API key, such as "Cryptohopper API key." Enable all permissions except Withdraw currencies.
Go to Cryptohopper and copy the IP addresses that you need to whitelist. You can find these IP addresses in your Base config under the Exchange section. Paste the IP addresses into Bitvavo.
Click Generate API key and enter your Bitvavo password and 2FA code. Do not click OK, I saved my Secret Key yet.
Copy the API Key and API Secret and paste them into the corresponding fields in Cryptohopper.
Important: Activate the API key by confirming the email from Bitvavo. If you do not confirm this email, your API key will not work.
Click Connect to Bitvavo in Cryptohopper and continue creating your trading bot. Once connected, you can click OK, I saved my Secret Key on Bitvavo.
Your Bitvavo exchange is now connected. The bot will start running on your next trading cycle.
Unable to see your Bitvavo exchange balance?
If your trading bot does not show your Bitvavo balance, browser auto-fill may be interfering with the API connection. Try disabling auto-fill, using incognito mode, switching to a different browser, or disabling your password manager. See our troubleshooting article for more details.
You may also see an error during onboarding even when your API keys are correct. Common causes include having no funds in your Bitvavo exchange account, having funds in your funding account instead of your trading account, or not having completed KYC verification. If this happens, click Continue without testing. You can verify your API keys later in your Base config.
