Step 1: Create an API Key on Kraken

  • Log in to your Kraken account.
  • Click on your profile picture in the top right corner, then go to Settings.

  • In the navigation bar, go to API Access.

  • In the Spot Trading API section, create a new API key:
    • Name: for example Exceefy
    • Permissions: check
      • Query
      • Query ledger entries
    • IP address: 37.187.134.89

  • Click Generate Key.
  • Your verification information may be requested.
  • Once the key is generated, copy the API Key and Private Key using the buttons on the side.

Step 2: Add the API Key in Exceefy

  • Click on the Profile icon, then go to Settings > Wallet.
  • Select an existing wallet or create a new one.
  • Fill in the required information:
  • Wallet Name
  • Platform: choose Kraken

  • Two new fields will appear: API Key and API Secret
  • Copy/paste the information generated from your Kraken account (see Step 1).
  • Click on Save and Test.

👉 If the information is correct, two new buttons will appear:

  • Start First Synchronization: launch the initial import of your transactions (this may take a few minutes). During the first synchronization, the cost basis (PRU) will not be filled in because Kraken does not provide this information. You will need to update your asset lines manually to enter the initial cost basis. Future transactions will be updated automatically.
  • A notification will be sent to you once the synchronization is complete.

Step 3: Track your transactions

  • Once the synchronization is complete, all your Kraken transactions are imported into Exceefy.
  • Future transactions will also be synchronized automatically every 24h.
  • Don’t worry if you don’t see your latest operations right away, they will appear during the next update.
