This page explains how to get an API key for Poloniex's transaction history.
API connection is only supported for Spot trades, Withdrawals, and Distributions. Margin trades and Futures trades are not supported.*Please note that, due to the exchange's API specifications, only transaction history from July 30, 2021, and onwards can be retrieved for spot trading. There is currently no announcement regarding withdrawal and distribution history limitations, but there might be restrictions on the retrieval period. Therefore, please upload the transaction history file for the periods that cannot be obtained.
The API may be disabled depending on the specifications of the exchange.
According to Poloniex, starting from September 2020, they conduct reviews of inactive API keys at least quarterly. If a customer does not respond to the notification sent by the exchange, the exchange will disable the API key. (This information is quoted from Poloniex's website.) If your API key has already been removed by the exchange, you will need to delete the old API connection and establish a new one to reconnect it.
