TrackExchange
Kraken portfolio tracker
Kraken tends to be the responsible adult of people’s exchange lineup: the fiat rail, the staking home, the account that has been there for years. Which is exactly why it accumulates: balances, staking positions and a long history that deserves to be part of your total, not a tab you check quarterly.

TrueHold reads Kraken with a query-only API key. Kraken’s permission model is explicit about what a key can do, and a key with only query rights can see balances and history while being physically unable to trade or move funds. About a year of history comes through for reconstruction.
How it connects
- 01
Create an API key with query permissions
In Kraken: Settings, API, create key, tick only the Query permissions. Orders, trades and funding rights stay off.
- 02
Paste key and secret
The credential is stored encrypted and used to read balances and history, nothing more.
- 03
Watch it assemble
Kraken balances and staking join your portfolio next to your other exchanges and self-custody wallets.
What you will see
- Balances and staking
- Spot balances and staked positions read together, priced into your total.
- A year of history
- Kraken’s API serves roughly 365 days of trades and transfers, enough to rebuild how the account got here.
- Query-only key
- Kraken’s own permission system guarantees the key can look and cannot touch.
- Fiat context included
- EUR and USD balances count too, so the exchange’s role as your fiat rail is part of the picture.
Questions people ask
Only the Query ones: query funds, query open orders and trades, query ledger entries. Everything under Orders and Funding stays unchecked.
Yes. Staked balances are read along with spot and included in your total, so the earning part of the account is not invisible.
Around a year through the API. That is enough to reconstruct recent PnL; older history can be added later via CSV export if you need it.
No. Adding Kraken and watching the portfolio is free, with no card asked. Premium adds tax-ready exports on top; the tracking itself never moves behind a paywall.
Within minutes. The account is re-read on a rolling cycle and prices stream live, so what you see tracks what Kraken knows.
Yes. Each Kraken account connects with its own read-only key and keeps its own label and history; the totals roll up into one portfolio.
Nothing except updates: the Kraken connection goes stale the moment the key dies. Reconnecting later is a fresh key and two minutes; removing the account from TrueHold clears its data entirely.
