Using the Kraken API with a third party service
Our API allows third party services (such as trading bots, mobile apps and portfolio management services) to integrate with a Kraken account so that they can view account balances, retrieve trading history, place and cancel orders and so on.
Any account owner who wishes to use a third party service simply needs to create an API key with the appropriate configuration, and provide this key to the third party service (often called importing an API key).
For the most part, these integrations work seamlessly, but sometimes issues can occur which cause unintended results or unexpected error messages.
