Bybit

Verified Jul 2026

Bybit's unified v5 API replaced its older linear-contracts-only docs (the previously listed URL now 404s) with a single REST and WebSocket interface spanning spot, derivatives, and options. Public market-data endpoints are keyless; placing orders or reading account/position data requires an API key with HMAC or RSA request signing, and access is free aside from trading fees.

Auth quickstart

  1. Sign up with the provider to get an API key.
  2. Send it on every request as a headerAuthorization: <key>
  3. The exact header isn't documented — Authorization is a common default; confirm in the provider's docs.
Stored keyNo key stored

Your key is stored only in this browser (localStorage) and sent directly to the API — never to greatapis.
