Kraken

Before we start with API keys

1. Kraken has introduced a new Kraken Pro version that offers the same API keys creation feature. So to create new API keys, you need to switch to the Kraken Classic or Kraken Pro:

If you stay just on Kraken and try to create API keys, you will still be prompted to move to Kraken Pro:

1. The process of the API keys creation on Kraken Classic has not changed. Here in this article, you will be given screenshots of both Classic and Pro versions.

Kraken Pro

Log in or create a new account on https://www.kraken.com/.

2. Switch to Kraken Pro

Or go straight to Kraken Pro website.

3. Go to the Settings page and click Create API key

4. Name your key

When you have multiple APIs, a proper name helps to manage it.

5. Select permissions

You must enable them as in the screenshot below:

  • Query

• Orders and trades

ATTENTION!

If you don't check at least one of the permissions, it may result in an error that will block you from further trading! If you have any error like "Not enough permission for API keys", please update the API keys permission or create new keys with the correct permissions.
