How to create WhiteBIT API keys
Create a read-only WhiteBIT API key with the correct permissions to connect your account.
Overview
Connecting WhiteBIT requires a read-only API key. Holdix only ever reads your balances and history — it never places orders, withdraws funds, or performs any write operations. Use the most restrictive permissions possible.
Step 1 — Open API Management
Log in to WhiteBIT and go to: whitebit.com/settings/api Click "Create API key" to start.
Step 2 — Enable Wallet balance and history
In the "Endpoint access" section, enable "Wallet balance and history". Expand it and make sure all sub-endpoints are checked: ✓ /api/v4/main-account/balance ✓ /api/v4/main-account/history ✓ /api/v4/main-account/fee ✓ /api/v4/market/fee/single ✓ /api/v4/market/fee
Step 3 — Trade balance (optional)
If you keep funds in the WhiteBIT trading account (not just the main wallet), also enable "Trade balance and order history". This is only needed if you actively trade on the platform and want those balances included.
Step 4 — What NOT to enable
Leave all of the following disabled — they grant write access and are never needed by Holdix: ✗ Deposit ✗ Withdrawal ✗ Balance transfer ✗ Order management ✗ Convert ✗ Sub-Accounts ✗ Mining ✗ Credit Line ✗ Refund
Step 5 — IP restriction (optional but recommended)
For extra security you can restrict the key to specific IP addresses. If you access the app from a fixed server or VPN, add its IP here. Leave unrestricted if you use multiple locations.
Step 6 — Save your credentials
Copy both the API Key and API Secret immediately after creation — WhiteBIT only shows the secret once. Paste them into the "Connect Exchange" dialog in Holdix. Your credentials are encrypted with AES-256-GCM before being stored. The plaintext values are never saved.
Note on Earn balances
WhiteBIT Earn (Smart Staking) balances are not accessible via regular user API keys — this is a WhiteBIT platform limitation. Fixed and flexible staking positions cannot be synced automatically. When a position matures and funds return to your main wallet, they will appear automatically on the next sync.
