Which data can be imported via KuCoin 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 Depot manually or via a CSV export:
- Transactions:
Import of transaction history via API on the exchange side limited to one year retroactively!
Crypto Deposits & Withdrawals
(Deposits and Withdrawals from and to KuCoin Futures are currently not being imported - unverified)
(Deposits and Withdrawals between Main and Subaccounts are currently not being imported - unverified) Fiat Deposits & Withdrawals Fee Payments Spot Market Trades Leveraged Token Trades Earning Rewards & Distributions (Staking, Lending, Airdrops, Hardforks)
Margin Trades (data inconsistent - update in progress)
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.
Derivate Trades PnL (Profit, Loss, Fee and Funding)
Trading Bot Transactions (not available via API on exchange side) FIAT Deposits (not available via API on exchange side) Converts (not available via API on exchange side; e.g., Trade Fiat to USDT) Savings (unverified)
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.

If balances are not or incorrectly displayed, you can help our support team via ticket to include them in our API import scope.
