Which data can be imported via Coinbase API?

Your complete transaction history always serves as the basis for your tax report. Preferably, automatic API solutions are used to import your transactions. Our team is committed to implementing all API data provided by your exchange for you.

Using the following list, you can identify products that have not yet been implemented and either add them to your Integration manually or via a CSV export:

Transactions:

Supported

check.png Deposits & Withdrawals
check.png Fee Payments
check.png Trades & Conversions
check.png Advanced Trades
check.png Coinbase Card Transactions
check.png Earn: Rewards & Distributions (Staking, Lending, Airdrops, Bounties, Hard Forks)

In case of missing transactions, you can identify them in the history of your exchange and help our support team via ticket to include them in our import spectrum.

If an import of your transactions via API is not available on exchange side, you can also add these transactions manually or by migrating your CSV data into our Excel template.

 

Synced Balance:

If your Synced Balance is displayed incompletely, you can help our support team via ticket to include it in our import spectrum (if technically possible).

How do I solve problems with my Coinbase Integration?

  • Blockpit shows different Tips (indicators) in the Dashboard and your Transactions list depending on the type of problem you are facing. The following procedure can help you to solve these problems.

    Please always synchronize all your integrations first using “Synce All” (Dashboard) and then start a calculation of your transaction data using “Recalculate ” (Transactions) before you analyze Tips or the performance values of your portfolio.

    1. Create a new Integration

    Product updates provided by Blockpit have no direct effect on existing transaction data in your Integration (precautionary measure to avoid changing existing transaction histories through automatic product updates), so creating a new Integration could bring it up to date and solve your problem (Tips) already.

    Temporarily create a second Integration to be able to compare the new and old Integration. Then delete the Integration that you do not want to keep.

    Alternatively, it is possible to re-synchronize missing or incorrectly imported transactions. In order not to damage existing transaction histories and to avoid new duplicate transactions, we recommend the following article:

    > How can to synchronize integrations or re-synchronize missing/incorrectly imported transactions?

     

    2. Label or merge Unlabeled Transactions

    Unlabeled transactions can be subsequently categorized with a corresponding label, edited or merged into Trades or Transfers by selecting related transaction pairs. It is also possible to change the labels of multiple similar transactions collectively (bulk edit).

    3. Manually edit, exclude or delete transactions

    If you should still see Tips, it is possible that these were caused by incorrect transactions or transactions that were imported twice. These transactions can be edited as follows.

    4. Add new transactions

    If transactions have not been fully imported, you can add them individually or upload them directly to your integration using the Blockpit XLS Template.
