Tabdeal guide

Create a Tabdeal API key, step by step

This key lets the Yielox bot place orders on your own account, but it can't withdraw anything. Tabdeal gives you two values, an API Key and an API Secret, and the bot needs both. Below we show exactly how to create the key and keep it safe.

Never share your password or 2FA codes

The bot only needs the API Key and the API Secret. If anyone, even someone using the Yielox name, asks for your Tabdeal password or a Google Authenticator code, don't give it, and tell our support.

Before you start

  • A Tabdeal account you can log in to, with identity verification complete.
  • Google Authenticator two-factor authentication turned on for Tabdeal. Tabdeal won't create an API key without it.
  • A Yielox account with an active plan.
Step by step

Eight steps to a safe key

Menu names may differ a little from this guide, but the order stays the same.

  1. 1

    Log in to Tabdeal

    Log in at the official address, tabdeal.org. Check the address in your browser bar before you sign in.

  2. 2

    Open the API settings

    In your user panel, go to Settings and open the "API settings" tab. If Google Authenticator isn't on yet, Tabdeal shows a notice here with an "Activate" button. Turn it on first.

  3. 3

    Name the key

    Under "Choose a name for your API", enter a label like "Yielox" so you always know what this key is for. The name can only use English letters, digits, spaces, underscores (_) and hyphens (-).

  4. 4

    Create the key

    Click "Create API". Tabdeal's form has no permission options. The key can see your balances and place and cancel orders, but the Tabdeal API has no way to withdraw at all.

    • See balances and ordersYes
    • Place and cancel ordersYes
    • Withdraw fundsNo
  5. 5

    Confirm with Google Authenticator

    In the "Create new API" window, enter the six-digit Google Authenticator code and click "Create API" again.

  6. 6

    Copy the API Key

    The "API created successfully" window shows two values. First copy the API Key with the copy button next to it.

  7. 7

    Copy the API Secret right now

    Tabdeal shows the API Secret only once. Copy it right away and keep it somewhere safe, then tick "I have written down the API Secret somewhere safe" and close the window. Never send these values to anyone, not even Yielox support.

  8. 8

    Add them to Yielox

    In the panel, go to Accounts, add an account on the Tabdeal exchange and enter the API Key and the API Secret under credentials. The panel stores both encrypted and never shows them again.

Tabdeal allows at most 30 API keys per account and may rename or move its menus. If you can't find an option, check the Tabdeal API docs at docs.tabdeal.org or message us.

A tip about your balance

Fund your Tabdeal wallet with USDT, and keep a small balance of each coin the bot sells. The bot needs that balance to place the sell side of the grid.

After you add the key

  • The bot starts trading and you see everything live on the dashboard.
  • Delete the key from the API list on Tabdeal whenever you like. From that moment the bot can no longer trade.
  • If you lose the API Secret or think it has leaked, delete the key, create a new one and replace both values in the panel.

Key ready? So is the bot.
