Connecting Exchanges

Ethonode syncs exchange balances and transactions using the exchange’s API. You create a read-only API key in the exchange and paste it into Ethonode. Your trading password and login credentials stay with the exchange.

Why read-only

Coinbase API keys can be scoped to view, trade, or transfer. Ethonode only ever needs view. Never grant trade or transfer permissions to any portfolio tracker.

Creating a read-only API key

1. Log in at coinbase.com.
2. Open Settings → API.
3. Click + New API Key.
4. Under permissions, check only wallet:accounts:read, wallet:transactions:read, and wallet:user:read. Leave every trade/transfer permission unchecked.
5. Confirm with your 2-factor code and copy the API key and secret.
6. In Ethonode, go to your workspace → Add source → Exchange → Coinbase, label it, paste the key + secret, and click Connect Exchange.
