Obtain Kraken Exchange Credentials
danger
Sharing API credentials with third parties is a security risk and is not recommended. Foretale does not accept any liability in the event of stolen or lost exchange API credentials. Foretale and all content of and or relating to the Foretale platform does not constitute nor is intended as financial advice. Please refer to our Terms of Service .
What are exchange credentials used for?
If you design a flow that needs access to your crypto exchange account, it is necessary to provide exchange account access credentials.
Kraken API Management
Log in to kraken, select your profile. Then select ‘Security’ and the ‘API’ to access the kraken API page. Then select “Add Key”.
Least Privilege
APIs should have the absolute least privileges that they require. Under no normal circumstances should an API have withdrawal privileges, for example. Click “Edit Restrictions” in the upper right next to the new API you just created to manage your API’s privileges. Select the least privilege restrictions—i.e. the most restrictive options possible. Note that the IP address of Foretale Cloud might change at any time (at least for now).
