Which data can be imported via direct Kraken OAuth connection or API key?
Your complete transaction history always serves as the basis for your tax report. Preferably, automatic OAuth or API solutions are used to import your transactions.
Using the following list, you can identify all implemented products:
Transactions:
Supported
Deposits & Withdrawals
Fee Payments
Conversions
Spot Market Trades
Margin Trades as PnL
Earn & Funding: Rewards & Distributions (Staking, Lending, Airdrops, Bounties)
Caution
Transactions with status “Failure” cannot be identified and excluded automatically. Any resulting transaction duplicates must be excluded manually subsequently.
Internal transfers from Parachain Auctions are imported as unlabeled Deposits and Withdrawals and must be excluded manually)-
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.

How do I solve problems with my Kraken 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 “Sync All” (Dashboard) and then start a calculation of your transaction data using “Calculation ” (Transactions) before you analyze Tips or the performance values of your portfolio.
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.
1. Create a new Integration
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.
