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.

Step 1:

Log into your Independent Reserve account.

​

Step 2:

Navigate to settings and then select API Keys.

Step 3:

Click generate, select Read-only, enter a description (this can be any value you'd like) and enter your password. Click save.

Step 4:

Upon successful API key generation, make sure to store your secret key somewhere safe, as you will not be able to recover it later.

Step 5:

Navigate to Step 1. Import. Select Add Account then choose the Independent Reserve tab on CoinLedger. Click on Auto-Import then enter your API Key and API Secret into the correct fields. Click Sync Transactions.

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.
