Bitfinex API permission setup.

Learn why lending tools should not need withdrawal permission and how restricted API access narrows risk. Fundai turns this topic into a non-custodial operating standard with restricted API access, reports, and alerts.

This page describes Fundai's own Bitfinex USD funding workflow. The goal is not to sell a fixed-return story. It places "Bitfinex API permission setup" inside the decision order a financial tool should make visible: whether assets remain in the user-owned Bitfinex account, whether API access excludes withdrawal permission, whether strategy settings can be reviewed, whether interest and fees reconcile to records, whether abnormal states are surfaced, and whether users can stop with complete records intact.

01

Start With Minimum Scope

Fundai keeps API access focused on the funding workflow and avoids withdrawal permission, unrelated wallet operations, or unnecessary account control.

02

Every Connection Must Be Revocable

A dedicated API key should be easy to revoke and recreate when service use, device access, IP settings, or strategy ownership changes.

03

Remove Setting Conflicts First

Lending Pro, Auto Renew, old API keys, fixed terms, and reserve rules can all change placement behavior, so Fundai treats them as setup checks.

04

Errors Need Context

Connection failures, missing offers, idle capital, or report gaps can come from permissions, wallet location, IP whitelist rules, or account status.

Fundai checklist before acting on Bitfinex API permission setup

  1. Create a dedicated Fundai API key instead of reusing old tools or test keys.
  2. Confirm the key excludes withdrawal permission.
  3. Confirm funding permissions are sufficient for required reads, placement, cancellation, and records.
  4. Check IP whitelist, 2FA, account verification, and Bitfinex API status.
  5. When stopping service or suspecting exposure, stop the strategy first and then revoke the API key.
  6. Keep API creation time, permission screenshots, and revocation records for later reconciliation.

How Fundai structures Bitfinex API permission setup

Treat the API key as the firewall of financial automation, not as a one-time technical setup step.

  1. Confirm the workflow needs funding-order automation, not withdrawal or asset transfer access.
  2. Create a dedicated Bitfinex API key and review each permission by purpose.
  3. Connect the key to Fundai, then test with a small amount and short observation cycle.
  4. If offers or reports look wrong, check wallet location, permissions, IP, account state, and strategy settings in order.
  5. When exiting, download reports, stop the strategy, and revoke the key in Bitfinex.

Bitfinex API permission setup FAQ

01Does Fundai guarantee Bitfinex lending returns?

No. Fundai is a non-custodial automation and reporting desk. Rates, fills, idle capital, early repayment, fees, and exchange risk affect outcomes.

02Why does this topic keep mentioning API permissions?

Financial automation starts with boundaries. Fundai does not need withdrawal permission, and users should be able to revoke API keys at any time.

03Do users transfer assets to Fundai?

No. Fundai does not custody assets. Assets stay in the user-owned Bitfinex account and Funding Wallet.

04What role do reports play in Fundai?

Reports help reconcile orders, rates, funded seconds, fees, idle capital, and abnormal states, so actual results are not reduced to marketing numbers.

05Does Fundai need withdrawal API permission?

No. Funding automation should not require withdrawal permission, and users should not grant asset-transfer ability to a funding tool.

06Is every API connection issue caused by Fundai?

No. Common causes include key or secret errors, missing permissions, IP whitelist mismatch, Bitfinex API status, wallet location, or account verification limits.
