UNOCU connects to major crypto exchanges via read-only API keys. This guide walks you through connecting Coinbase, Binance, or Kraken.

Connecting Coinbase

  1. In your UNOCU dashboard, go to Settings → Connectors
  2. Click Add Exchange and select Coinbase
  3. In Coinbase, go to Settings → API Access → New API Key
  4. Set permissions to Read Only — never grant trading or withdrawal access
  5. Copy the API Key and Secret into UNOCU
  6. Click Test Connection to verify

Connecting Binance

  1. In Binance, go to Account → API Management
  2. Create a new key with Read Only permissions
  3. Whitelist UNOCU's IP if required (shown during setup)
  4. Paste the key and secret into UNOCU's Connectors page

Connecting Kraken

  1. In Kraken, go to Settings → API → Create New Key

Once connected, UNOCU automatically syncs your balances, positions, and transaction history.
