FAQ: How to Generate a Wallet Address for IDEX API Import
TL;DR:
IDEX does not use traditional API keys for imports. Instead, you must provide your wallet address. If you don’t have one, you can generate it directly on the IDEX platform by creating a new wallet and unlocking it using a private key. This wallet address is then used on the CoinTracking IDEX API import page.
Why doesn't IDEX use API keys?
IDEX works differently from most exchanges. Instead of using API keys, CoinTracking uses your IDEX wallet address to pull your transaction data via API. This makes it necessary to create or access your IDEX wallet to obtain the wallet address.
How do I create and unlock an IDEX wallet?
Follow these steps to generate and access your wallet address:
Log in to your IDEX account.
Hover over the profile icon at the top-right corner and select NEW WALLET.
Enter a password to generate your wallet.
Copy and save the private key that is generated (store this securely).
To unlock your wallet:
Paste the private key into the unlock field.
Click Unlock.
Once unlocked, your wallet address will appear in the dropdown menu when hovering over your profile.
How do I import IDEX data into CoinTracking?
Copy your wallet address (as described above).
Visit the IDEX API import page on CoinTracking:

Click Start Import.
Summary
To import IDEX data into CoinTracking, use your wallet address instead of an API key. If you don’t already have a wallet, you can create one directly on IDEX. Once unlocked, copy your wallet address and paste it into the CoinTracking IDEX API import tool.
