API stands for Application Programming Interface. A trading API is a technical interface that allows software applications to communicate programmatically with Bybit EU systems using API credentials. API documentation explains how users and compatible software applications can interact with the API, including the available endpoints, required inputs, expected outputs and possible error responses.
The Bybit EU API allows users to access certain supported Bybit EU functionalities programmatically. Depending on the functionality available for your account, this may include accessing market data, submitting or cancelling supported trading instructions, and retrieving account-related information.
Using an API may also allow users to automate certain actions based on parameters configured by them. Automated actions are carried out based on the instructions and parameters provided by the user and do not constitute investment advice or a recommendation by Bybit EU.
