CoinSpot is an Australian cryptocurrency exchange. Sure connects to CoinSpot using a read-only API key and imports your combined crypto holdings, order history, on-chain transfers, and AUD deposits and withdrawals. See Transaction history and import limits for initial sync defaults, history limits, and options for older transactions.

What is imported

Sure imports one combined Crypto exchange account per CoinSpot connection, containing:
  • Current crypto holdings and balances (all assets)
  • AUD total balance
  • Completed buy and sell order history
  • On-chain send and receive transactions
  • AUD deposits and withdrawals

Setting up CoinSpot

Step 1: Create a CoinSpot API key

  1. Log in to CoinSpot and go to API settings.
  2. Create a new read-only API key with access to balances and order history.
Do not grant send, withdrawal, trading, or transfer permissions. Sure only imports balances, AUD values, transfers, deposits, withdrawals, and completed order history. Granting write permissions is unnecessary and a security risk.
  1. Copy the API Key and API Secret shown after creation.

Step 2: Add the connection in Sure

  1. Go to Settings → Providers.
  2. Find the CoinSpot section.
  3. Enter a connection name, paste your API Key and API Secret, and click Add CoinSpot connection.
  4. Sure begins syncing your CoinSpot exchange account automatically.

Step 3: Import the account

After the first sync, your CoinSpot exchange account appears in the setup queue. Click Import Account in the provider panel to add it to your account list.

Multiple connections

If you have multiple CoinSpot accounts, add a separate named connection for each one. Each connection imports one combined Crypto exchange account.

Account currency

When Sure creates your CoinSpot exchange account, it uses your family’s currency. CoinSpot order amounts and prices are converted from AUD into the account currency during import.

Opening balance

New CoinSpot exchange accounts have a zero historical opening anchor, separate from the current balance imported from the provider. After importing entries, Sure moves that zero anchor to the day before the earliest entry only if it is not already earlier. Existing nonzero opening anchors are preserved.

Sync history

If no sync start date is set, Sure imports up to 365 days of order, transfer, deposit, and withdrawal history on the first sync. Order history is fetched in 30-day windows to work within CoinSpot’s API limits. To import a different range, set a sync start date before adding the connection.

Security

Your CoinSpot API credentials are encrypted at rest using ActiveRecord Encryption when encryption keys are configured in your deployment. Configure ACTIVE_RECORD_ENCRYPTION_PRIMARY_KEY, ACTIVE_RECORD_ENCRYPTION_DETERMINISTIC_KEY, and ACTIVE_RECORD_ENCRYPTION_KEY_DERIVATION_SALT before adding credentials in a production environment. Without those keys, credentials are stored in plaintext.

Troubleshooting

Credentials need updating

If the connection shows a reconnect prompt, your API key may have been revoked or the credentials may have changed. Generate a new read-only API key from CoinSpot and update the connection in Settings → Providers → CoinSpot.

No accounts found

After adding a connection, wait for the first sync to complete. If no accounts appear, verify that your API key has read access to balances and order history.

Balance shown as approximate

When the exact exchange rate for a given date is unavailable, Sure shows the balance as approximate. The balance updates to the exact figure on the next sync when rate data becomes available.

Missing order history

If older orders are missing, check that your sync start date is set to a date that covers the period you want. CoinSpot’s order history is fetched starting from that date.

Add Account redirects to Provider Settings

When you choose CoinSpot in Add Account and no active CoinSpot connection has configured credentials, Sure redirects you to Settings → Providers with an alert explaining that a connection is required. Add a CoinSpot connection there first, then return to add the account.

Connection appears under Available instead of Your connections

After a successful setup, the CoinSpot panel should move to the “Your connections” section of Settings → Providers and show a status pill, sync button, and last-synced line. If it stays in Available, the connection was not saved. Re-enter your API key and secret and save again.
