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
- Log in to your Deribit account at deribit.com
- Navigate to Account > API
- Click “Add New Key”
- Set permissions to Read Only — do NOT enable Trade or Withdraw
- Copy the API Key and API Secret
Step 2: Link in Deribook
- Go to Accounts > Link Account
- Give your account a name (e.g., “Main Account”)
- Paste your API Key and Secret
- 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.
