*Note that you must have Two Factor Authentication (2FA) enabled to add API keys. If your 2FA is not set up, a pop-up notification will appear. Click on it and follow Bitget's instructions to enable 2FA.

Step 3: Label Your Key and Choose API Permissions

Give your API key a name of your choice, so you can easily understand that this key is connected to your CryptoSea account.

Please note that you will also need to set up a Passphrase. This password is individual for each API key. Save it somewhere safe because you will need it in the future.

Select the "Read-Write" option and mark "Name" on the Permission type. These permissions will enable the CryptoSea trading algorithm to execute trades effectively.

Step 4: Generate your API Key and API Secret

Once you have chosen the appropriate permissions, click "Next".

Copy the generated API Key and API Secret and store them in a secure location. Alternatively, leave the API dashboard window open for easy access to the keys.

Step 5: Connect Bitget to CryptoSea

Head to your CryptoSea dashboard > "Exchanges" section, and tap on the "Connect" button below the Bitget exchange. Follow the steps on the screen to enter the copied API Key and API Secret, along with your created Passphrase, and proceed further.

Step 6: Confirm if the Connection is Successful

If everything is done correctly, you will see Bitget added to the list of your connected exchanges in your CryptoSea dashboard, together with your available trading balance.

Congratulations! You have successfully connected your Bitget account to CryptoSea.
