What is the CoinTracking platform?
The CoinTracking platform describes itself as the world's first cryptocurrency trade data calculator, reporting tool and portfolio manager, which integrates with leading cryptocurrency exchanges - including the Kinesis Exchange - to gather your trading history which is then used for creating transaction reports, automatically.
The CoinTracking platform - currently accumulating over 41.5 billion US Dollars total worth of all portfolios and a worldwide professional network to assist with international transaction data reports filing - significantly simplifies transaction tracking, providing an adequate tool designed specifically for trade data reporting purposes.
The Kinesis platform allows users to automatically import their trading data directly into the CoinTracking platform through the integrated API, which is then continuously processed by the CoinTracking software.
Additionally, users also have the option to manually import their trade data into the CoinTracking platform, in a compatible CSV file, as described here.
10% off for Kinesis users
The CoinTracking tool requires setting up a free account, which enables users to benefit from a variety of helpful features and reporting options. Available for both desktop and mobile, the platform offers automatic and manual blockchain and exchange imports, tracking of coins and transactions, personal trade backups and many other functionalities.
Kinesis users wishing to expand their CoinTracking plan with additional options and remove limits can enjoy a 10% discount for all types and lengths of available CoinTracking subscriptions.

How to link a Kinesis account with the CoinTracking platform?
To start reporting and uploading trade data directly into the CoinTracking system, users need to connect their Kinesis accounts with the CoinTracking tool through uniquely generated API keys, which can be found in the Settings tab on the Kinesis platform.
Please note: The API functionality enabling automated reporting is available only to users with active CoinTracking Pro, Expert or Unlimited accounts.
Free CoinTracking account users can manage their reports with the manual CSV Export/Import Statement import function, as described in this walkthrough.
Guide: Connecting Kinesis Platform API to CoinTracking Tool
Step 1: Log in
Log into your Kinesis account using your credentials, and access the Settings tab in your Profile menu dropdown, located in the top right corner of your dashboard.
Step 2: Go to the CoinTracking API section
From the available options, select the CoinTracking API Keys section, where you can generate CoinTracking API keys.
Please note that you must first confirm that you have read and agreed to the Kinesis API Terms and Conditions.
Step 3: Generating keys
Generate a CoinTracking Access Token (API Key) and Secret Token (Private Key) by clicking the ‘Generate’ button. Keep this page open as you will need to copy both tokens and paste them into your CoinTracking account later.
The Access token: The Access token is used to identify you to our system and is associated with only this account you are logged into.
Secret Token: You will only be shown this Secret token once. You will need to record it as it will not be shown again. If the Secret token is lost or forgotten, you will need to re-generate a new Access and Secret token pair by clicking ‘Generate’ and updating your applications.
Importantly, you should never share your secret token with anyone, and never include it in any public repository or host it on any website.
Step 4: Visit the CoinTracking website
Open another tab in your web browser and visit the CoinTracking website, then log into your CoinTracking account.
If you do not have a CoinTracking account already, you need to create one. You can sign up for free to access a limited number of helpful features, however, we recommend using this link, entitling all Kinesis users to a 10% discount on all CoinTracking licences.

Please note: The API functionality enabling automated reporting is available only to users with active CoinTracking Pro, Expert or Unlimited accounts.
