Import trades automatically with API
We are only requesting view permissions. This does not give us access to your private keys or the ability to move your funds.
To add your Bitfinex account to Coinpanda, follow these steps:
- Go to the API page by hovering over the user icon in the top right corner, and then click ‘API Keys’
(https://www.bitfinex.com/api) - Click ‘Create New Key’
- Keep the default permissions unchanged (all read permissions enabled)
- Enter a label for your API key (Ex: ‘Coinpanda’), and then click ‘Generate API key’
- Enter your 2FA code if necessary
- Check your email and confirm the new API key from the verification email
- Copy the ‘API key’ and ‘API key secret’ to Coinpanda
Coinpanda will automatically aggregate the following transactions into single daily transactions to reduce the total number of transactions imported:
Funding payments + Margin trading fees + Settlements on margin account
This is done to make it easier to verify the accuracy of the data imported and reduce the total calculation time. It will not affect any of your capital gains calculations.
Timestamp adjustment
Bitfinex does not always report accurate timestamps for credit and debit events affecting your balance. Because of this, the transactions imported may not always be arranged in the correct order, which can result in negative balance warnings on the Transactions page. This may affect your portfolio and capital gains calculations, and you will need to adjust the timestamps to correct this manually. To prevent this from happening, Coinpanda will automatically subtract 10 minutes from the timestamp for all Receive (Realized P&L) transactions imported, but you will still need to check this carefully.
In the example below, we see that Bitfinex reports the Realized P&L transaction to be credited after the same amount was sold to USD later. The solution here is to adjust the timestamp of either transaction so that the Realized P&L transaction is credited before the BTC → USD trade was executed. We recommend changing the negative balance threshold to zero on the Advanced Settings page when troubleshooting this.
Transactions imported from Bitfinex API resulting in negative balance warnings:
Transactions after adjusting the timestamp of the Realized P&L transaction. The negative balance warning has now disappeared, and all calculations will be done accurately.
Upload a CSV file to Coinpanda
- Go to the Reports page by hovering over the user icon in the top right corner, and then click ‘Reports’
(https://report.bitfinex.com) - Click on ‘Ledgers’ in the left menu at the top
- Click the calendar icon in the top left corner and select a date range
- Click ‘Confirm’ and then click ‘Export’ in the top-menu
- Keep ‘Ledgers’ as the only option selected
- Click ‘Export’ to generate the file
- You will receive the CSV file by email. Save the file and then upload it to Coinpanda.
The date format MUST be DD-MM-YY for the file to be imported correctly. Bitfinex changed its default date format in 2021, so we recommend exporting a CSV file if you have exported any files in 2021 or earlier.
