Our Support Status for KuCoin
If an exchange provides transaction history via API, we will automatically reflect that data. However, if the exchange does not supply certain information through API or if the provided files lack transaction details or are unclear, those transactions cannot be automatically imported. In such cases, please upload the transaction history manually using a Custom File.
How to Create a Custom File
1.2 Time period that can be retrieved
-
Only transaction history from the past 1 years can be retrieved
Due to exchange limitations, only the past 1 years of transaction history can be automatically retrieved. To include older transactions, please upload a file obtained from the exchange or create and upload a Custom File.
-
Please re-sync the API manually at least once every 1 years
Transaction history older than 1 years will not be reflected, so it is necessary to perform regular API re-synchronization within that period after linking.
