Backpack Exchange - API

Updated today

๐Ÿ“ Description

This article explains how to connect your Backpack Exchange account to Waltio via the API.
๐Ÿ‘‰ This allows you to automatically retrieve your transactions and ensure accurate tax reporting.

โš ๏ธ Warnings

  • Only Spot is supported on Waltio via the Backpack API. Transactions on Futures, Staking, or other products might not be retrieved.

  • Ensure your API key has Read-only permissions. Waltio does not need trading or withdrawal permissions.

  • If you delete your API keys on Backpack Exchange, automatic synchronization will stop.

๐Ÿ’ก Recommendations

  • Keep your secret key in a safe place during creation, as it will only be displayed once.

  • For optimal synchronization, avoid restricting IP addresses, as Waltio uses multiple servers.

๐Ÿ“‚ How to access your data

  1. Log in to your Backpack Exchange account.

  2. Go to your Portfolio and click on the Settings tab.

  3. Select the API Keys tab.

  4. Click on the New API Key button.

  5. Give your key a name (e.g., "Waltio").

  7. Click Create and enter your 2FA code to validate.

  8. Copy and safe-keep the API Key and API Secret Key.
