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

Our step-by-step ProBit API tutorial will help you set up and use the ProBit API to improve your trading experience with our powerful trading bot. Watch the tutorial video below or keep scrolling for step-by-step instructions.

Before getting started, it's important to know that you might encounter an error in Cryptohopper's onboarding process when connecting to ProBit, even if your API Keys are correct. The most common reasons include:

  1. Having no funds in your crypto exchange account

  2. Having no funds in your trading account (as some crypto exchanges differentiate between funding and trading accounts)

  3. 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.
