How do I generate my API key?

Follow these steps to set up Agent Key for the first time:

  1. From the main menu, tap More > Agent Key

  2. Review the terms and conditions and tap Continue

  3. Set your preferences before tapping Generate API key

    • Expiry Date: Choose how long the key remains valid (default is 30 days)

    • API Permissions: Select which actions your agent can perform (all are enabled by default)

    • Weekly Trading Budget: Use the slider to set a maximum weekly volume between $1,000 and $20,000 USD (default is $10,000)

  4. Confirm the setup using your passkey or 2FA

  5. Copy both your API key and secret key. Check the “I have saved my secret key” checkbox, then tap Confirm. The Confirm button remains disabled until the checkbox is checked.

Once finished, you'll be directed to the Agent Key hub, where you can monitor or update your settings at any time.

What is a secret key, and why is it important?

When you generate a key pair, you receive two pieces of information: an API key and a secret key. Together, they allow OpenClaw to communicate with your Crypto.com App account.

Think of the secret key as the password for your agent. Anyone with your secret key could potentially access your trading features.

For your protection, your secret key is only shown once at the time of generation. Store your secret key immediately in your OpenClaw's encrypted configuration.

Never share it in screenshots, chat messages, or public forums. Crypto.com staff will never ask for your secret key. If you lose your secret key, you will need to delete the pair and generate a new key pair.

How do I connect OpenClaw to my Crypto.com App account?

After generating your key pair, you will see three components:

  • Command: Your installation command

  • API key: You can view your API key at any time in your Agent Key hub

  • Secret key: Your secret key will only be shown once, so please save it securely

Copy each of the above components separately and paste them into your OpenClaw terminal to finalize the connection. For a detailed step-by-step, see the “What are the setup steps for OpenClaw?” section.

  • Your agent will guide you through the setup process and ask for:

    • Your API key

    • Your secret key

Step 3: Copy and paste your keys

  • Go back to the Crypto.com App's Agent Key screen

  • Copy your API key and paste it into your agent when prompted

  • Copy your secret key and paste it into your agent when prompted

  • Your agent will securely store these credentials

Step 4: Confirm the connection

  • Your agent will test the connection and display your current balance. You're now ready to start trading with natural language commands!

  • Examples of first commands you can try: "What's my balance?" or "Buy $100 of BTC with USD"
