Update: Tutorial on how to add Coinbase API can be found here.
Are you ready to start cryptotrading at convenience via your phone? The Craider bot on Telegram not only shows you an overview of your portfolios on Binance, Kraken or Poloniex (coming soon: Coinbase Pro!), but also makes it possible for you to easily buy and sell digital assets or cryptocurrencies with a tap of a button. No matter if on the couch, on the beach, in bed or out and about, Craider bot will always execute your trades so you will never miss an opportunity!
Getting Started
To get started first message the Craider bot on Telegram (click the link to automatically open a chat with the bot). You will have to accept some Terms & Conditions concerning the risks of crypto trading, but the bot will never withdraw your funds for your own safety.
You will be prompted to activated your account, but the good news is that the Craider bot is free! This means you can try out all the features of the Craider bot without any subscription fees.
Adding Your Markets
To have the full benefit of all that Craider bot has to offer, you will need to add your exchanges to the bot. This is done via an application programming interface, also known as an API. This means we do not need your password or any other sensitive information to execute trades for you, and that your funds are safe from withdrawals.
In order to add your markets, click or tap the button “My Markets” in the Craider bot. You will be asked if you want to add a new market, edit an existing one, or remove a market. Choosing “Add a new market” will allow you to add your exchange API keys to the bot. The bot will ask you which market you want to add, and it will show you the possible options. Please note that you can only add one account per exchange!
Simply chose the market you want to add, and the bot will ask you for an API key.
How to find your API keys on Binance, Poloniex or Kraken.
Now we come to the main subject of this post, where do we find those API keys?
The Craider team has made some helpful images to help you those keys. Remember that you will have to login to the exchange in order to make API keys for your account!
After you have successfully made the API key and have the required secret key, you can send it to the bot via the Telegram chat. A tip from us: keep the page of the new API key open because some exchanges only show the secret key once! The bot will ask you first for the API key and then for the secret key, once you have sent both via chat to the bot, it will check if they are valid.
If everything is done correctly, you will receive a picture of your portfolio and you can start trading away!
If you have any problems connecting your API keys to the bot, make sure you have copy pasted the keys correctly. If problems still persist, don’t hesitate to reach out to us on our special Craider help chat. A Craider team member will be there to help you with your issues.
Happy trading!
