Creating an RSA key pair on the Bitget platform
Step 1: Hover your mouse over the profile icon in the upper right corner of the Bitget page, then click on "
API".
Step 2:Click on "
Create API". (The left dropdown menu allows you to select the main account or sub-account for which you want to create the API.)
Step 3: Select "
User-generated API Keys".
Step 4: Copy and paste the content of the public key (from "PublicKey.txt" generated using the RSA Key Generation tool) into the "
your oublic key" box. Then, set the API key
Note,
API
Passphrase , and the
permissions you want to assign to the API key.
Once done, click on "
Next".
Step 5: Enter the security verification code you received and click "
Confirm".
Step 6: Congratulations, you have completed the creation process. Please keep your key information safe and secure.
After creating the API keys through the System-generated API Key(HMAC) and User-generated API Keys(RSA) methods, there will be clear indications next to the key note, making it easier for you to distinguish between them.
