Authentication

Kraken API key pair (public API key + private secret for HMAC signing) + Kraken API key pair (public API key + private secret for HMAC signing) discovered

Kraken API key pair (public API key + private secret for HMAC signing) compound Get key ↗

Create a Kraken API key pair in Settings → API (also linked from Kraken Developers). Save both the public key and private secret. Grant only the permissions your workflow needs, such as Query Funds, trading, funding, earn, or Access WebSocket API. For spot REST and Kraken CLI live commands, the public key is sent as API-Key and the private secret is used locally to compute the HMAC signature sent as API-Sign; the private secret itself is never sent. You can also enable IP whitelisting and API key 2FA per Kraken guidance in API key permissions and API Key Security.
