Connect Bybit
Bybit, filed like the rest of your money.
A read only key, and Bybit becomes ledger lines: fills, fees, deposits and withdrawals, priced and kept for the tax year.
Read only, and refused if the key can trade or withdraw. How we check that is below.
What lands, and what does not
Spot comes across. Perpetuals do not, and we would rather say so here.
Bybit is a derivatives venue first, and that decides what can be imported.
- →Spot fills arrive as two legs, what left and what arrived, so a disposal carries the price it happened at
- →Perpetuals and futures are not imported as trades. A position is not a disposal
- →Your balance still mirrors from Bybit either way, so net worth is right even where the history is not complete
- →Deposits and withdrawals arrive as transfers and pair up with your own wallets
- →The first sync reaches back to 1 January of the previous calendar year, then keeps up hourly
The key you give us
Bybit marks a key read only. We read that mark and believe nothing else.
Promising read only is easy. This is what we do instead of promising.
| Before the connection existsNot after | The key is tried against Bybit first, and nothing is stored until it answers |
| What we ask BybitTheir own answer | Bybit reports whether a key is read only. A key that comes back as read and write is rejected outright |
| If the flag is missingThe important half | Refused. An answer without that flag is treated as no answer, because a venue that renamed it would otherwise pass every key as read only |
| Where the secret livesAfter it is accepted | Encrypted at rest, and never returned by our API again |
| If the key stops workingRotation and expiry | Sync stops after repeated auth failures, the space owner gets one message, and you replace the key in place |
One thing worth knowing
Sending coins from Bybit to your own wallet is not a sale.
Paired, it is one move; unpaired, it is left out.How the pairing works.
