Connect KuCoin
Your record starts the day you connect. We don't import past trades: everything on it is something we watched happen.
Make a read-only key on KuCoin
- Choose Create API, then API-Based Trading, and set a passphrase. You will paste the passphrase here too.
- Leave General ticked. It is the read permission.
- Leave Spot Trading, Margin Trading, Futures Trading, Flexible Transfer and Withdrawal unticked.
KuCoin asks for a passphrase when you make the key. You'll paste it below too.
Tie the key to our address
In the key's settings, limit it to this IP address. Then the key only works from our server.

What KuCoin lets us read
- See what your account is worth
- Price what you hold in dollars
- Tell deposits and withdrawals apart from gains and losses
- Read your individual trades
KuCoin tells us what a key is allowed to do. We refuse any key that can trade or withdraw, so we never hold one that can move your money.
The secret is stored encrypted and never shown again, to you or anyone.
