TL;DR: API jobs let CoinTracking automatically import your trades from an exchange (e.g., OKX). This article explains how to create a new API job, which settings to choose, and how to delete an API job you no longer need. It also covers what to do if an old/legacy API job (such as the former "powered by Hyphe" Bitvavo import) can no longer be managed from the CoinTracking interface.

In this article, we will explain how to create an API job for an exchange, as well as instructions on how to delete a job if it's no longer required (e.g., if the API key has become invalid). We will use the OKX API import as an example.

This article is separated into three sections:

1) Creating an API Job

2) Choosing your API settings

3) Deleting/Removing an API Job

1) How do I create an API job?

Follow the detailed step-by-step instructions provided at the top of each API page, keeping in mind any potential restrictions of the API.

After entering the API Key (and Secret) you can configure your API settings.

2) How do I choose my API settings?

API Settings example:

Please note:

We recommend keeping all default settings for trade types unchanged.

By default, FIAT deposits and withdrawals are not imported, and we suggest leaving this setting as is.

However, if you prefer to import your FIAT deposits and withdrawals, you can disable this setting. Before doing so, we encourage you to read this article to understand how your FIAT transfers are managed when importing them versus skipping them: Different Ways of Managing Your Portfolio.

Further API settings include:

Automatic overnight checks or manual checks (we recommend leaving this setting on "automatic")
Label: This will create a trade group for a better overview as described here: How to create trade groups
Start Date: Useful if you've previously used CSV for importing your transactions imports and are now switching to use the API for the same exchange. Setting a date in this field will prevent the import of any transactions prior to that date.

3) How do I delete or remove an API job?

1. Go to your API Importer.

2. Click on "Edit."

3. Click on "Delete."

**Please note:

If you delete your API job, the transactions which got imported by the API will not be deleted. If you want to remove these transactions as well, you need to go to the Transactions page and delete them. Please see the following article for more information: How to Edit and Delete Transactions**

It is not possible to migrate API jobs to another linked CoinTracking account. Additionally, if you have deleted an API job and created a backup, you will not be able to restore the API through the backup. The API job will need to be set up again.

Why can't I see or delete my old API job (e.g., Bitvavo "powered by Hyphe")?

Some exchange integrations have been replaced by newer API imports over time. For example, the old "powered by Hyphe" import for Bitvavo has been replaced by the new, dedicated Bitvavo API import. The legacy "powered by Hyphe" job no longer imports any transactions and is also no longer visible or manageable from within the CoinTracking interface.

If you still have an old API key connected to such a legacy job and can no longer access or delete it through CoinTracking, you can instead revoke or delete that API key directly on the exchange's website. This ensures the old key is deactivated even though the corresponding job can't be managed from the CoinTracking UI anymore. Afterward, you can set up the new, currently supported API import for that exchange if needed.
