Verify your Kraken API key is working correctly and troubleshoot connection issues
Guided flows
Guided step-by-step flows for setup and operations.
Go to Settings > Exchanges. Your connected Kraken account displays its current connection status (Connected, Disconnected, Error, etc.).
Click the status indicator or 'Test Connection' button. QuantumEdge validates that your API key is active, permissions are correct, and the exchange is reachable.
A successful test confirms trade permissions are valid. If the test fails, the error message indicates the issue — expired key, missing permissions, or exchange-side restrictions.
For 'Invalid API Key' errors, verify the key is still active on Kraken. For permission errors, confirm trade-only scopes are enabled. If issues persist, generate a new API key on Kraken and reconnect.
