## Step 1: Create a read-only API key in Kraken Pro

1. Log into your [Kraken Pro account](https://pro.kraken.com/app/home)
2. In the top-right corner, click on Account > Settings
3. In the Settings page, find "API" in the menu bar
4. Click on Create API Key, and enable the required permissions (screenshot below)
5. Once you click Generate key, a screen will popup with the Private Key. Save this in a secure place: **you won’t be able to view them again once you close this dialog**.

It may take a few minutes for all your transactions to load into Integral. You can see transactions trickle in from the [Bookkeeping](https://app.integraltreasury.xyz/accounting?category=for-review\&page=1) page. Transactions are done loading when your Unrealized Gain/Loss and Transaction Count appear in the Treasury page.

Note: Kraken does not provide transaction hashes, or from/to addresses. This can make it difficult to gather the ideal metadata to interpret transactions. Unfortunately there aren't too many workarounds at this stage, but we are monitoring their API for updates.
