CoinLedger only needs "Read" or "View" access to import your trade history. This permission protects your accounts. Learn more about API access in this article here.

Jump ahead with this table of contents:

Step 1:
​​Login to your Kraken account. Linked here is the URL for Kraken Pro. The remaining steps shown below are using the "classic" layout on Kraken Pro, which you should be prompted to select when you first login.

Step 2:

Select your profile from the top-right dropdown menu and navigate to Settings. Then, click API to view and create new API keys.

Step 3:

Next, click the Create API Key button and create a new API key with the settings below. After the settings are filled out, click the Generate Key button.

Be sure the following checkboxes are enabled:

Then, at the bottom of the menu turn Custom Nonce Window ON and set the Nonce Window to 10,000.

Step 4:

On the next screen, copy the API Key and API Private Key values from Kraken. These will be needed for later to import your transaction history, and you won't be able to see them again after closing this window.

Once copied, head over to the CoinLedger app.

Step 5:

Navigate to the Import stage. Select Add Account then choose the Kraken tab on CoinLedger. Click on Auto-Import then enter your API KEY into the API Key field. Finally, enter your API Private into the API Secret field. Then, click Sync Transactions.

If you have a lot of trades, note that your import may take some time, typically around 5-10 minutes but occasionally longer. This is normal and completely expected!
