Connect Your Deribit Account

Deribook connects to Deribit using read-only API keys. This guide walks through the process.

Step 1: Create an API Key on Deribit

  1. Log in to your Deribit account at deribit.com
  2. Navigate to Account > API
  3. Click “Add New Key”
  4. Set permissions to Read Only — do NOT enable Trade or Withdraw
  5. Copy the API Key and API Secret

Step 2: Link in Deribook

  1. Go to Accounts > Link Account
  2. Give your account a name (e.g., “Main Account”)
  3. Paste your API Key and Secret
  4. Click “Connect”

Deribook will validate that the key is read-only and test the connection before saving.

Step 3: Verify the Connection

After linking, your account appears on the Accounts page with a green “Connected” badge. You can now add portfolio widgets to your dashboard.

Security Note

Your API credentials are encrypted with AES-256 and stored server-side only. They are never exposed to the browser. You can revoke access anytime from Deribit's API settings.
