Overview

For the Kraken exchange, you must configure each user with their own unique connection. Each connection requires the user's own credentials (API Key and Private Key) supplied from the Kraken exchange. Kraken exchange connection credentials (API Key and Private Key) are configured via the exchange's website.

For additional information on creating a Kraken API Key and Private Key, refer to their support site: https://support.kraken.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000919966-How-to-create-an-API-key.
