Coinbase API Import

API security instructions

• When creating a new API key, always assign only the permissions that are required (see above)
• CoinTracking only requires keys with read-only permission
• Make sure that your keys have no trade or withdrawal permissions
• Use an API key only with a single service (like CoinTracking). Using one key for multiple services will always result in errors.
• All API secrets stored at CoinTracking are encrypted and cannot be viewed or decrypted by our employees. We will never ask you for keys with permissions other than 'read-only'.
• Some exchanges allow whitelisting of IPs. This increases the security of your key. You can find IPs used by CoinTracking here.
• Check your keys permission and change your keys from time to time just like your passwords
• Do not write down API keys and secrets locally on your computer or in the cloud
• If your browser automatic saves form data and passwords, make sure that your API secrets are not stored
• Never share your keys with services you don't trust
• A few exchanges do not have any API permissions and each key has full access. Avoid such insecure exchanges and switch to trustworthy exchanges.
