Okcoin API Integration Setup

You can connect your Okcoin account to TaxBit with an API Key! Please follow the below steps to  generate your API Key.

Please Note: If you haven't yet, Okcoin will prompt you to set up multiple authentication when selecting "API." Please do so by going to the Security Settings page and add in either your mobile number or Google Authenticator. 

Once you are logged in to your Okcoin account, navigate to the API Management page.

1. Hover your mouse over your account in the top right.

2. Select API.

3. Once in the API page, select "Create API Key."

4. Fill out your API Key details in the following fields.

     a. Enter in a label under the “Label” field. This can be any name you wish to give and doesn’t need to be copied down. 

     b. Put in a passphrase that you’ll remember. This will be used as one of items to connect your Okcoin API. 

     c. You can leave the Whitelist IP blank. TaxBit does not provide a static IP that can be used here.

     d. Make sure you select the "Read" permission only. Do not select Withdraw or Trade.

     e. You’ll be prompted to send and enter in a verification code sent to both your Email and SMS that was set up. 

     f. Once the codes are set up, go ahead and click “Confirm.”

5. Once confirmed, you'll get a popup showing you've created your API successfully. The popup will also list your API credentials regarding your API Key and API Secret.

     a. You’re able to view your API Key. Document the Key for connecting to TaxBit later, and/or copy the key to enter into the Okcoin modal if you already have TaxBit open. 

     b. You’ll also see your Secret Key. Document the Secret for connecting to TaxBit later, and/or copy the key to enter into the Okcoin modal if you already have TaxBit open.

     c. You also have the option to copy the API information and document it somewhere for future reference.

Once you have your API Key, API Secret, and API Passphrase you can complete the connection process in TaxBit by selecting the exchange under Add Sources > Search Sources > Use the search bar to search and select Okcoin > Hit "Next" > Copy and Paste the information you got from your Okcoin account into the correct fields in your TaxBit account > Select "Link Exchange"

Once you have successfully linked your exchange, you'll want to go ahead and hit "Sync". That will begin the process of bringing over your transactions into your TaxBit account.
