    To do so, click the top menu item on Add and select Add Integration.
  10. Select Coinbase from the list of exchanges, and then copy the API key and the Secret into the designated fields.

  12. To finish, confirm your entries in Blockpit by clicking Create.

When creating API keys on Coinbase, API secrets are often not displayed properly. This problem can be avoided by using other internet browsers.

 

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:

check.png Trades & Converts
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.
