After your Kraken account is created, sign in and create a Kraken API key and Private Key. These credentials are required for connecting to Kraken via the TT platform.
To create a Kraken API key:
-
Log in to https://www.kraken.com/sign-in.
-
Select the Security then select API.
-
Select Add Key. The add key window appears.
-
You can optionally update the Key Description with a different name.
-
TT recommends leaving the Nonce window field set to the default value of 0.
-
Under Key Permissions, enable all options under the Orders & Trades column. Under the Other column, enable Access WebSockets API.
-
Select Generate Key. Your API Key and Private Key appears.
-
Copy both the API Key and Private Key and store in a safe place. You will need both keys for Adding a Kraken Connection.
Note: TT recommends users do not enable 2FA (two-factor authentication) for their API Key.
