# Bot closes immediately

When the Bot immediately closes the error messages is displayed for only one second. (Next Version will fix this). The causes could be one of the following

## Cause 1: Error due to the Exchange API Keys

Please double check your API Keys and if they are entered correct with the correct quotation marks and so on. If in doubt create new API Keys and give the right permissions! And unless you use a VPS dont lock your your IP to those Keys. Your IP address changes and so your the Bot cant connect to your Exchange anymore. 

## Cause 2: Error due to wrong Inputs in the config.json

Check your config.json. Check if you have put your settings in the right format, check for the quotation marks and the comma. Otherwise the PumpBot cant read your config.json and will close immediately.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.pump-bot.com/faq-questions-important-notes/error-handling/bot-closes-immediately.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
