# Bitpanda

Connect Bitpanda to rotki to import trades, deposits, withdrawals, and balances.

## Features

- Spot trades imported as swap events with fees.
- Crypto deposits and withdrawals from your Bitpanda wallets.
- Fiat deposits and withdrawals from your Bitpanda fiat wallets.
- Balance reconciliation against your Bitpanda wallet view.

## Setup

1. In Bitpanda, open Settings → API key → Generate API key.
2. Select the read scopes you want rotki to use (balances, trades, transactions). Bitpanda API keys grant no trading or withdrawal capability.
3. Save the key. Bitpanda shows it only once.
4. In rotki, open API Keys → Exchanges → Add Bitpanda and paste the key.

## FAQ

### Can rotki place trades or withdraw on Bitpanda?

No. Bitpanda API keys are read-only by design and rotki only issues read calls.

### Where is my Bitpanda API key sent?

rotki is a local application: your Bitpanda API key is stored on your computer and sent in the request header to authenticate each call, which goes directly from your machine to Bitpanda's API. No rotki-operated server ever sees the key or the request.
