Step 6:
In your CoinLedger account, navigate to Step 1. Import. Select Add Account then choose the BitMart tab on CoinLedger. Click on Auto-Import.
Next, paste the Memo you created earlier into the Memo field. Then. paste the Access Key into the Access Key field, and paste the Secret Key into the Secret Key field.
After that, press Sync Transactions. Your data from BitMart will now be imported.
When importing your transaction history via API, you will have the option to specify a start date for your import. This feature is designed to prevent duplicate data from being imported. You can access this feature by hitting the Import Settings drop down menu, as shown below, and then specifying a date for your import to start from. All transactions after this date will be imported. You should not do this if you are importing all of your transactions into CoinLedger for the first time.
