Bybit Auth JavaScript SDK example: RSA-sign.ts

Bybit Auth RSA sign JavaScript example for the Siebly Bybit SDK, covering exchange REST API and WebSocket integration, setup, and production SDK docs.

We use environment variables in our examples for API keys. It is your responsibility to manage and secure your keys appropriately.

examples/Bybit/Auth/RSA-sign.ts

What this example covers

  • Bybit authentication and request-signing JavaScript example.
  • Uses the Siebly Bybit SDK package bybit-api instead of hand-written signing code.
  • Source path: Bybit/Auth/RSA-sign.ts.
  • Example category: Auth.
  • Imports SDK symbols including RestClientV5.
  • Calls SDK methods such as getAccountInfo().

How to use this example

  • Start here for the specific request or stream pattern, then check the matching SDK guide for install, credentials, and operational notes.
  • For private or order-management examples, keep credentials in environment variables or a secret manager. Use read-only keys where possible, and check the execution mode reference before any exchange write path can run.
  • Open the repository source when you need the latest committed version: GitHub source file.
