Ledgible allows you to import transactions from exchanges automatically, through linking your exchange to Ledgible using API keys. This will allow Ledgible to read your transactions without them having to be updated manually beyond running an account refresh.
To import your transactions from Bitstamp via API connection, you will first need to create an API key in Bitstamp. To do so:
-
Log into Bitstamp.
- Click Account in the top right corner.
- Click Security then API Access on the menu on the left side.
- Click New API Key.
- Under permissions, enable Account balance, User transactions, Open orders, Cancel order, Buy limit/market orders, and Sell limit/market orders.
- Click Submit.
Uploading your exchange transactions via API connection follows the same progression for all supported exchanges. While the example used below is not individually tailored to each available exchange, the steps remain the same.
To get started with an API-based exchange connection, follow these steps:
- From your Ledgible account dashboard, click the Crypto Sources tab in the top navigation bar.
- Click the Add Sources button toward the top-right of the page.
- Select your API based exchange. For the purposes of this example we will be using BinanceUS.
- Once the exchange is selected, enter the name for the crypto source you would like to add, designate the account type, and select Add Exchange API Credentials.
- Enter your API key and secret key obtained from your exchange. For more information on specific exchanges, please see this section of our Knowledge Base.
- Click Create on the dialog box that appears, and you can now run an Account Refresh for your transactions to display in Ledgible.
