To enable seamless interaction between your trading bot and Kraken, Cryptohopper offers two options: Fast Connect (based on Kraken's oAuth2 solution) and API Key. Both methods establish a secure connection between Cryptohopper and the crypto exchange, allowing your trading bot to perform essential tasks such as automated order placement and accessing balance information for precise calculations.
Fast Connect your trading bot to Kraken
Cryptohopper's Fast Connect feature is the most convenient option for connecting your trading bot to Kraken, similar to the "Login with Facebook" button seen on many websites.
Select Kraken as your preferred crypto exchange.
Click on "Fast Connect" and log in with your Kraken account: With a single click on the Fast Connect button, you'll be securely directed to log in to your Kraken account.
Enter your Kraken login details: Provide your login credentials in the pop-up provided by Kraken.
Select the permissions needed to trade on Cryptohopper: By default, we've already selected the necessary permissions, so you only have to click on "Confirm".
View your funds in Cryptohopper: After successfully completing the connection, your Kraken funds will be visible in Cryptohopper, allowing you to start trading.
For those who prefer, you can also connect using an API Key. Both methods ensure a secure and efficient connection between your trading bot and KuCoin.
