How to get an API key for Bitstamp

This page explains how to get an API key for Bitstamp's transaction history (Trades/Withdrawals).

1.Our Support Status for Bitstamp

You can check the support status of API endpoints for exchanges on the ”Supported Exchanges & Blockchains” page.

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.

Custom File for any other trades

 

2.Caution

If you establish API connectivity after uploading trade history via trade history files, any trades that happened during the same "minute" as the last trade uploaded via the file may end up as duplicates. For example, if the last trade uploaded via the file has a timestamp of 12:34:00, the API connection would fetch any trades with the timestamp of 12:34:00 onwards.
