## Adding a Bitvavo connection

Prepare to automate your trading activities on Bitvavo by establishing a live trading connection. This process involves generating vital API keys. This guide is designed to assist you in seamlessly integrating your Bitvavo account with the Tradetomato platform.

**Navigate to** [**Bitvavo**](https://bitvavo.com/en)

{% hint style="info" %}
*If you already have a Bitvavo account with funds, skip* to the [API Key Creation](#api-key-creation) step.
{% endhint %}

* If you're new to Bitvavo, either [create an account](https://account.bitvavo.com/create) or [log in](https://account.bitvavo.com/login?locale=en) if you already have one.
* Ensure your trading account's security with a robust password and enhance it further by enabling 2-factor authentication (2FA).
* Complete the process by verifying your email and complying with Bitvavo's identity verification requirements to bolster overall security.

#### **API Key Creation**

Click **Add new API Key**
{% endhint %}

Doing so will redirect you to a new page where you must select permissions and whitelist your IP. <br>

#### **Select Permissions**&#x20;

During API key generation, please ensure that you select the appropriate permissions. Enable the following permissions:

* Access Rights
  * [x] Read-only access
  * [x] Trade digital assets
  * [ ] Withdraw Digital Assets

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Notes:** (Required)\
Provide a unique identifier for your API key. (e.g. Tradetomato API)
{% endhint %}

#### **Whitelist IP Address**&#x20;

In the empty field below named *IP Whitelisting (Optional)'*

Enter the IP addresses displayed to you on the Tradetomato platform in the 'Linked IP Address (Optional)' field, separating them with a comma \[,].

{% hint style="success" %}
Click **Generate API Key**
{% endhint %}

Bitvavo may prompt you to complete this step through multi-factor authentication (MFA).

#### Create Key

Once your API keys are generated, you'll receive both an API key and a secret key.

Copy these keys along with your passphrase. Navigate back to Tradetomato's connection setup, enter a unique name for your connection, then paste the previous credentials into their respective fields.

Click **Create**
{% endhint %}
