Note:

• The creation of an API key can only be done via the Bybit website; there is no option to do it via the Bybit App.
• For new users, API key creation may be restricted for the first 48 hours after registration for risk control purposes. For example, if you registered an account at 10AM UTC on May 12th, you will be able to create an API key starting from 10AM UTC on May 14th.
