Hi @LFC,

Welcome to the Discuss community! Thanks for posting about this!

With the times you’ve tried to sync KuCoin with Koinly, have you checked out our KuCoin integrations page? It provides step-by-step instructions (written and video) so that you can confirm which step the passphrase is to move the ball forward.

I’ll post the instructions below, but I would encourage checking out the integrations page. There are some helpful tips below the API instructions that will be good to know as well.

How to connect Koinly and KuCoin via API

On KuCoin

1. Sign in to your KuCoin account.
2. Find the drop down tab under your account in the top right corner and select API management.
3. Select create API.
4. In the API name box, enter a name, such as “Koinly”.
5. In the API passphrase box, create your passphrase.
6. Under API restrictions, select general for read-only access.
7. Under IP restriction, select no.
8. For security verification, you’ll need to enter your trading password that you created when you made your KuCoin account. You’ll also need to enter a SMS verification code if you use two-factor authentication.
9. On the new API pop-up, copy the API key and API secret.

On Koinly

1. Sign up or log in to Koinly and go to the wallets page.
2. Select add new wallet: KuCoin.
3. Select set up auto-sync.
4. Paste the API key into the API key box.
5. Paste the API secret into the API secret box.
6. Enter your passphrase you created earlier.
7. Select secure import.

If you have any persisting issues with syncing, try the CSV approach (also shown on the integrations page. We’re always available though! Connect with our support team anytime you have a question or issue and we’ll jump on it!

Have an awesome day!
