How to fill out the Verified Redvisor application?

Unfortunately it's not possible, as automated taker trading is currently not supported.

Thanks for clarifying! Quick context: I already have General Advertiser status ✅ However, my strategy requires TAKER automation (responding to ads), not creating my own ads. Direct questions: 1️⃣ Is there ANY official way to automate P2P taker operations? • Undocumented endpoint with proper auth? • Webhook/WebSocket for real-time ad notifications? • Planned roadmap feature? 2️⃣ If P2P taker is impossible, should I use Unified Trading API (Spot) instead? • Which pairs for arbitrage? (USDT/USDC, USDT/FDUSD?) • Does it support full taker automation? 3️⃣ Can I monitor P2P via API (read-only) then execute on Spot? Or would this violate policies? Why maker doesn't work for me: ❌ Too slow (need instant execution) ❌ Capital inefficient (locked in ads) ❌ No control over fill timing I need: "See opportunity → Execute instantly" What's the official Bybit solution for automated buy-low-sell-high trading? Thanks! 🙏

Bybit P2P API cannot be used to open orders, it's a tool for P2P makers and lacks taker features. It can only be used to manage ads and existing orders. Additionally, yes, a General Advertiser status is required to access P2P API.

I'm developing an automated P2P trading bot using the official bybit_p2p Python SDK and would like to confirm that my implementation complies with Bybit's Terms of Service and API usage policies. 📋 What I'm Building A Telegram bot for automated P2P trading (USDT/USD) with the following features: Core Functionality: Scanning P2P market ads using get_online_ads() endpoint Analyzing spread opportunities between buy/sell prices Executing trades when profitable opportunities are detected Managing orders, balance, and account information Filtering merchants by completion rate, order count, and verification status Technical Implementation: Using official Bybit P2P SDK (bybit-p2p>=1.1.0) HMAC-SHA256 authentication with API keys Proper rate limiting and error handling Database logging of all transactions Proxy usage (already confirmed as allowed) Trading Strategy: Buy USDT when price ≤ $0.999 Sell USDT when price ≥ $1.000 Target spread: 0.1%+ Using "USD Balance" payment method (no bank transfers) Daily limits per merchant to prevent excessive trading ❓ Specific Questions 1. API Rate Limits What are the rate limits for P2P endpoints (/v5/p2p/item/online, etc.)? Is scanning the market every 30 seconds acceptable, or should I increase the interval? Are there specific headers I should use to identify my bot? 2. Automated Trading Compliance Is automated P2P trading allowed on Bybit? Do I need special permissions or account verification to run an automated trading bot? Are there any restrictions on the number of daily trades or volume? 3. API Permissions My API key has "P2P Trading" and "Read" permissions enabled Is this sufficient, or do I need additional permissions? Should I enable IP whitelist? (I use rotating proxies) 4. Best Practices Should I implement exponential backoff for failed requests? Is there a recommended way to handle retCode: 10004 errors? Any specific requirements for production bots vs. testing? 5. Account Requirements Do I need "General Advertiser" status or higher for automated trading? Are there minimum KYC levels required? Can I use Testnet for initial testing without affecting my main account? 🛠 Current Implementation Details Endpoints Used: POST /v5/p2p/item/online - Get market ads GET /v5/account/wallet-balance - Check USDT balance GET /v5/p2p/account/info - Get P2P account info GET /v5/p2p/order/list - Get order history SDK Version: bybit-p2p==1.1.0 Authentication: HMAC-SHA256 with API Key & Secret Environment: VPS (Ubuntu 24.04) Python 3.11+ Mainnet (production) ✅ What I've Already Confirmed ✅ Using proxies with proper rotation is allowed ✅ API keys are correctly configured ✅ Manual testing works perfectly with the SDK 🙏 Request for Clarification Could you please confirm: Is my use case compliant with Bybit's Terms of Service? Are there any modifications I should make to ensure compliance? Are there official guidelines or documentation for building P2P trading bots? Should I register my bot or notify Bybit before going live? 📧 Additional Information I'm happy to provide: Sample code snippets API request logs Bot configuration details Any other information needed for review Thank you for your time and assistance. I want to ensure my implementation is fully compliant before deploying to production. Best regards, Zolu

Yes, you can use any proxy server of your liking, but note that official libraries usually do not natively support such feature. So you have to use external tools to route your requests through a proxy server, or modify the requests session directly

Can requests be made with a proxy?
