Step 1

This part happens in the broker or platform interface. The goal is to create credentials dedicated to Kairox, with only the permissions needed for trading.
Choose permissions
Add read access and spot trading. Transfer, withdrawal, or account management permissions are not required for Kairox.
Copy the credentials
Depending on your Coinbase key type, copy the provided key and secret. Keep them only long enough to create the Kairox connection.
Step 2
Create the connection in Kairox
Once access is ready, create the connection from the Kairox dashboard. The system will use it to prepare orders according to market, symbol, and risk limits.
Select Coinbase
In Kairox, open Connect Brokers & Exchanges, choose crypto, then Coinbase.
Create the spot connection
Enter the connection name, API Key, and API Secret. Use a name that clearly indicates the connection is intended for spot.
Keep orders on spot
Kairox treats Coinbase as spot. Do not use this connection for futures or short strategies that require another connector.
