How to connect OKX to NovaTrade
Create a read-only API key on OKX and paste it in NovaTrade to sync your spot, margin and perpetual swap trades. The last ~3 months come in right away, the most OKX's API keeps.
Steps
Log in to OKX and open its API settings (Profile → API keys).
Create a new API key. If the exchange asks for a name, use something like NovaTrade.
Tick only “Read”. Leave trading, withdrawals and transfers off.
Set the API passphrase when asked and write it down: NovaTrade asks for it too.
If the exchange offers an IP restriction, leave it off. NovaTrade's server IP can change.
Copy the API key and the secret.
In NovaTrade open Accounts and, on the OKX card in “Crypto exchanges (automatic sync)”, click Connect.
Paste the API key and the Secret key, then the API passphrase. The label is optional.
Click Connect. NovaTrade checks the key, creates a OKX account and runs the first import.
Tips
- The passphrase is the one you set when creating the API key on OKX. It is not your login password.
- OKX's API only returns about 3 months of fills. Connect early and NovaTrade keeps everything from then on.
- Only pairs quoted in USD or a USD stablecoin (USDT, USDC…) are imported.
