Automatically import your trades from Coinbase into TradeZella by connecting your account with a CDP API Key. Follow the steps below to get set up.
Step 1: Create Your API Key on Coinbase
Log in to your Coinbase account.
Go to the Advanced Trade API settings.
Click Create New API Key.
Set the permission to "View" only.
Leave IP whitelist blank
Once the key is created, copy both the API Key Name and the Private Key.
⚠️ Your Private Key is only shown once — make sure to copy and store it safely!
Step 2: Connect to TradeZella
Visit the Add Trade page or click "Add Trade" from the sidebar.
Click "Add New Account".
Choose Coinbase as your broker and click Continue.
Select "Auto Sync" as the import method and click Continue again.
Paste your API Key Name and Private Key into the respective fields.
Click Connect.
TradeZella will sync your Coinbase account, and you'll see the sync status update on the Add Trade page.
💡 Pro Tip: Use the account filter in the top right corner to switch between accounts effortlessly.
Troubleshooting
If your connection fails:
Double-check that you copied the full API Key Name and Private Key without any extra spaces. Make sure the API key has "View" permission enabled.
If your trades aren't syncing:
Give it a few minutes — the initial sync may take some time depending on your trade history. If trades still don't appear, try unlinking and relinking your account from the Add Trade page.
If your P&L doesn't match:
Small differences between TradeZella and Coinbase are normal. TradeZella may calculate fees slightly differently. Review your trades in the Trade Log to confirm the data looks correct.
