Crypto.com Exchange
Connect Crypto.com Exchange spot trading to Coinrule — API key permissions, the trading confirmation, and troubleshooting.
Coinrule connects to Crypto.com Exchange (the professional trading venue at crypto.com/exchange) for spot trading. The consumer Crypto.com App does not expose a trading API and cannot be connected.
How do I connect Crypto.com Exchange?
Create an API key
In Crypto.com Exchange go to Settings → API Management and create a key with Can Read and Enable Trading. Leave withdrawal and transfer permissions off.
Optional: restrict the key by IP
If you enable IP restriction, add Coinrule's trading IPs shown on the Connect page before validating the key.
Open the Crypto.com Exchange tile
Go to cloud.coinrule.com/connect and select Crypto.com Exchange.
Paste the key and secret, confirm trading access
Paste the API key and secret, tick the confirmation that Enable Trading is on and withdrawals are off, then press Connect.
Enable these permissions
- ✓Can Read— validate balances and reconcile orders.
- ✓Enable Trading— required to place Spot orders; we cannot prove this safely with a read-only check.
Leave these OFF
- ✕Withdraw / transfer permissions
Notes
- ℹIP whitelist
Why the confirmation checkbox?
Crypto.com Exchange lets Coinrule validate a key by reading balances, but balance validation cannot prove that trading is enabled. The checkbox records that you enabled Enable Trading yourself; if it was left off, Crypto.com returns the exact rejection on the first live order.
Which pairs are supported?
Spot pairs on Crypto.com Exchange quoted in USDT (for example BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT, CRO/USDT). Coinrule maps the pair to the exchange's native BTC_USDT format for you.
Which timeframes are available?
1m, 5m, 15m, 1h, 4h, and 1d.
Can I paper trade on Crypto.com Exchange?
Yes. Paper strategies run on paper_crypto_com using public Crypto.com Exchange prices and simulated fills; no API key is needed.
Troubleshooting
| Error | Fix |
|---|---|
| Authentication or signature error | Re-paste the key and secret; the secret is shown once at creation, so recreate the key if you no longer have it |
| First live order rejected with a permission error | Enable Enable Trading on the key in API Management and reconnect |
| IP not allowed | Add Coinrule's trading IPs to the key's IP allowlist, or disable IP restriction |
| Order below minimum | Increase the order size to meet the pair's minimum notional on Crypto.com Exchange |
