Cryptohopper

This article explains how to create API keys on Kraken and connect your exchange account to Cryptohopper so your trading bot can start trading.

Tip: Want a quicker way to connect? Use <a href="https://support.cryptohopper.com/en/articles/11514859-how-to-connect-your-trading-bot-to-kraken-with-fast-connect">Fast Connect</a> instead — no API keys needed.

Go to the <a href="https://kraken.pxf.io/LXGyW0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Kraken</a> exchange website and log in or create an account.

Navigate to Kraken Pro by clicking the grid menu button (next to the Notification button).

Click your profile in the upper right corner, then select Settings.

Go to the Connections and API section and click Create API Key.

Enter a memorable name for your API key, such as "CryptohopperAPI1." Select all permission checkboxes except Withdraw.

Enable Websocket interface and Custom nonce window. Enter 10,000 as the Nonce value. Then go to Cryptohopper, copy the displayed <a href="https://support.cryptohopper.com/en/articles/9042362-where-to-find-ip-address-for-my-crypto-exchange">IP addresses</a>, return to Kraken, enable IP address restriction, paste the IP addresses, and click Create API Key.

Copy both the API Key and API Secret displayed on Kraken. Paste them into the corresponding fields in Cryptohopper.

Click Generate API Key and continue creating your trading bot.

4. Go to the Connections and API section and click Create API Key.
5. Enter a memorable name for your API key, such as "CryptohopperAPI1." Select all permission checkboxes except Withdraw.
6. Enable Websocket interface and Custom nonce window. Enter 10,000 as the Nonce value. Then go to Cryptohopper, copy the displayed <a href="https://support.cryptohopper.com/en/articles/9042362-where-to-find-ip-address-for-my-crypto-exchange">IP addresses</a>, return to Kraken, enable IP address restriction, paste the IP addresses, and click Create API Key.

Unable to see your Kraken exchange balance?

If your <a href="https://docs.cryptohopper.com/docs/trading-bot/introduction-to-cryptohoppers-trading-bot" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">trading bot</a> does not show your Kraken balance, browser auto-fill may be interfering with the API connection. Try disabling auto-fill, using incognito mode, switching to a different browser, or disabling your password manager. Also verify that your API keys have the correct permissions, are copied without errors, and that Cryptohopper's IP addresses are <a href="https://support.cryptohopper.com/en/articles/9010286-what-is-ip-whitelisting-and-do-i-have-to-whitelist-ip-addresses">whitelisted</a> in your Kraken account. See our <a href="https://support.cryptohopper.com/en/articles/8990975-troubleshooting-api-connection-issues-for-cryptocurrency-exchanges">troubleshooting article</a> for more details.

Troubleshooting Kraken API Integration Issues

You may see an error during onboarding even when your API keys are correct. Common causes include having no funds in your Kraken exchange account, having funds in your funding account instead of your trading account, or not having completed KYC verification. If this happens, click Continue without testing. You can verify your API keys later in your <a href="https://www.cryptohopper.com/config" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Base config</a>.
