Recap supports direct integration with Kraken via read-only APIs. Once connected, Recap will retrieve all of your transaction history and set up a real-time connection to your account.
Step 1 - Create your Kraken API Key
Login to Kraken using their pro interface then click your name (top right) followed by Settings.
Then click API from the settings menu
2. To configure a Kraken API key, select the following permissions:
Query
Query Open Orders & Trades
Query Closed Orders & Trades
Query Ledger Entries
Export Data.
Ensure the Key expiration, Query start date/time and Query end date/time are all "Off". Click the Generate Key button.
Note: If you are experiencing connection issues with a Kraken connected account, creating a new API key with a custom nonce window of 10000 may help. You can set this at the bottom of the API key settings screen shown below.
3. You may be prompted for Authorization, if so, enter your 2FA code.
4. Your API key and private key will now be shown ready to be entered into Recap
Step 2 - Connect your Kraken Account in Recap
In Accounts, click the Add Account button, then select Exchange API, then Kraken.
Give your account a name.
Enter the Kraken API Key and API Private Key that you created in Step 1 and click Next.
Your Kraken account card will be created and your data will start to be fetched. Please allow some time for us to retrieve the data - if you have a very large account history, this could take up to 5 minutes.
