API security

Short answer:

Coinfox uses only API keys with read access to securely import transaction data. Write permissions are not accepted. Some exchanges have API restrictions that may limit the import period or the available data.

Detailed answer:

Security of the API keys:

When integrating exchange accounts into Coinfox, it is crucial that API keys are created solely with read access (Read-Only). This permission enables Coinfox to retrieve transaction data without executing trading actions or making withdrawals. API keys with write permissions are not accepted by Coinfox for security reasons.

Special features of API integrations:

Some exchanges impose restrictions on the data provided through their API:

• Time restrictions: Certain exchanges allow access to transaction data only for a limited period. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the specific notes when setting up the API integration in Coinfox.
• Missing API support: Some exchanges, such as Femex, currently do not offer suitable API endpoints for full data import. In such cases, Coinfox is continuously working to expand integrations as soon as the required API interfaces become available.

Recommendations:

• Follow instructions: Carefully follow the step-by-step guides from Coinfox for API integration to ensure correct setup.
• Check permissions: Ensure that the API keys have read access only and do not possess write or withdrawal rights.
• Regular review: Regularly check the status of your API integrations in Coinfox to ensure that all data is current and complete.

By adhering to these guidelines, you can securely and efficiently integrate your exchange data into Coinfox.
