Build an OKX trading bot with your AI coding agent.

Super Algo Kit helps you build an OKX trading bot on the V5 API inside your own AI coding agent. One API covers spot, margin, perpetual swaps, delivery futures and options, but each regional site is separate. The kit interviews you, sets pass marks first, backtests with costs and paper-tests on OKX demo trading. Live trading starts only when you type the authorize command.

OKX V5 API

What it is: A centralised exchange with one V5 REST and WebSocket API for spot, margin, perpetual swaps, delivery futures and options.
Regional sites: Global, EEA, US and Turkey sites are separate APIs. Use the site where your account is registered.
API and login: An API key, a secret and a passphrase you choose at creation. No login and no daily token.
Static IP: Not required. Binding trusted IPs is recommended and is reported to remove a 14-day idle expiry.
Paper option: Demo trading with a separate demo key, reported to work on the global, EEA and US sites.
Headline limits: Placing orders: 60 requests per 2 seconds (reported, scope not confirmed). The kit caps itself at 36.
Costs: Fees by VIP tier and any data fees were not confirmed by the kit.
Card status: Draft: OKX's official guide could not be opened on 30 September 2026, so many facts are reported.

Paper first

A OKX bot, built paper first.

Super Algo Kit runs inside the coding agent you already use. It interviews you, writes the spec with pass marks set first, then builds, backtests and paper-tests. Real money starts only when you type the authorize command.

The plan, step by step

Tick them off as you go.

How OKX API access and login work

You create the key on your account's API page and choose a passphrase. Live and demo keys are separate, and a key from one regional site fails on another site's host. The kit never needs your password or 2FA seed.

Withdrawal is not needed, so you enable Read and Trade only. Trade keys not bound to IP addresses are reported to expire after 14 days without use. The kit sets up keys this way.

Read and Trade permissions, withdrawal off
Trusted IP addresses bound to the key
A separate read-only key and a separate demo profile
Key, secret and passphrase kept out of logs and chat

Paper trading an OKX bot with demo trading

OKX demo trading is reported to use a demo key, created in Demo Trading mode, plus a simulated-trading flag on the same hosts as live. It is reported to work on the global, EEA and US sites.

Some functions are reported missing in demo, such as deposits and withdrawals, and the grid-bot calls are not offered there. How demo fills and liquidity differ from live is not confirmed. A demo key on the live host fails, so the kit keeps demo and live profiles apart.

OKX rate limits and costs to plan for

These limits come from summaries of OKX's docs, not from the source, so treat them as reported. Placing orders is reported at 60 requests per 2 seconds, and a sub-account at 1,000 new or amended orders per 2 seconds. A WebSocket connection is reported to drop after 30 seconds with nothing subscribed or pushed, so the bot sends a ping.

OKX's own agent toolkit ships a client-side rate limiter, which shows the venue expects callers to throttle. Fees by VIP tier and any data fees were not confirmed. Model costs and funding from the crypto pack's cost rules.

What Super Algo Kit does with OKX

The kit keeps one adapter profile per regional site. It caps orders at about 60% of the reported figure, 36 requests per 2 seconds, a kit judgement until the official numbers are read. Client order id uniqueness rules are not confirmed, so the kit tests a duplicate on demo and records the result.

After a timeout, the kit looks the order up by client order id before any retry and never resends blindly. An independent risk gate and a kill switch you can run yourself sit outside the strategy. No AI model is in the live order path, and live keys stay out of the agent's environment.

Before you rely on it

Gotchas to plan for.

Regional sites have slightly different endpoint sets, so code for one site can fail on another.

Trade keys without bound IPs are reported to expire after 14 days unused.

A demo key on the live host, or the demo flag on a live key, fails.

Client order ids are reported at up to 32 letters and digits; uniqueness rules are not confirmed.

FAQ

OKX: questions.

Can I build an OKX trading bot with an AI coding agent?

Yes. Super Algo Kit adds 15 specialist roles and 35 skills to your own coding agent. They interview you, then write, backtest and paper-test real code in your project. The kit does not trade on your behalf.

Can I paper trade an OKX bot on demo trading?

Yes, it is reported. OKX demo trading uses a separate demo key and a simulated-trading flag on the global, EEA and US sites. Super Algo Kit runs the paper stage there, and live trading waits until you type the authorize command.

Is Super Algo Kit affiliated with OKX?

No. Super Algo Kit is not affiliated with or endorsed by OKX. The OKX name is used only to say the kit works with the OKX V5 API.

Why is the OKX card marked draft?

OKX's official API guide could not be opened from the kit maintainer's network on 30 September 2026. The card rests on OKX's own GitHub pages and summaries of its docs, marked reported. Re-read the official guide before any release.

Can I use OKX from my country?

Super Algo Kit could not confirm an OKX restricted-country list. OKX runs separate regional sites, and you must use the one where your account is registered. Check that site's terms; the kit never suggests VPNs or other workarounds.
