Don007, nommot is right about the security of the Api Keys. I leave mine on MyAltCoins since i trust the security of the servers. Many people trust me with their keys, and as i said multiple times, I will never use their api keys for personal gain. My name is easy to find from my username, and I stand behind MyAltCoins.

Of course I totally agree (and encourage) being a bit paranoid about your crypto assets.

NEW FEATURE: You can now export your transactions to Excel!

So cool, helps on taxes possibly!

Unfortunately, Mintpal has no private api yet (it's in beta for now), and poloniex doesn't offer an api call to get all your orders, but instead they require you to make a request per each pair of currencies (so, for now, something like 50+ requests to see all your orders).
I'll find out about the other exchanges ;-)

EDIT: also locallitecoins

Thanks!!

New feature! Import your transactions from Kraken via Api!

Thanks for the heads up!

I'm also using the app "Coin Ticker" for iOS (iPhone), which is doing the same as MyAltCoins. It works really well!

No problem! We've all heard a lot of bad tales recently, your stance is more than justified.

I keep my api keys on the site because i trust it, but i totally understand if you don't

Alright, thanks for the (late) reply.

I didn't knew what people can do with API keys.. I'm going to be more defensive with those keys from now on (and removed the old ones). Thanks!

This is great! Could you add Pandacoin (PND)? It's on the LTC market at Mintpal.
There are 3 Pandacoins, but this one (PND) is currently the best performing. Ranked #80 on coinmarketcap.com

Thanks!

Hm, I think I got it running now. Allthrough the amounts are incorrect. For example it shows CacheCoin which I don't own anymore since 2-3 weeks.

Is it safe to provide these API keys? What can the developer of this do with it?

The Cryptsy API is generally used to grab data from the markets, or from your personal account. This data is in the JSON format, and should be parsed using a script, so it's not really meant to be human readable just by pasting the URL in a browser.

It is not safe to leave your API keys in anyone else's hands for very long. A developer can use these keys to make orders, cancel orders, and even withdrawal coins to pre-approved addresses. So in theory, your coins could be maliciously stolen/traded if you have any pre-approved coin addresses, or by trading all the coins for cheap prices in small markets where the thief has placed coordinating orders on another account.

Personally, I do not think this developer would do such a thing. But, you should assume that this site will hacked eventually, and when it does, expect everything I explained above to happen.

Here's an easy solution to prevent this from happening while still using this useful site: Do not leave your Cryptsy API enabled when you aren't using it. I enable mine from the Cryptsy>Settings whenever I am using the Import function on MyAltCoins, and then I disable it once I'm done. If you feel like taking an extra precaution, generate a new API key after every time you use your keys on any site.

Can anyone confirm this? I've changed my API keys now. Only the iOS app 'Coin Ticker' has it now.

But, if a developer really can make trades with it, I might disable using API's.

How does that API function from Cryptsy work?

It makes my PC getting stuck at internet explorer. Now I'm trying Chrome. I saw an huge white page with loads loads loads of tekst, but I'm not sure whether it will work now.

Is something wrong with the site? I keep getting a Bad Gateway message....

Also, is there a way to download our trades to aid in doing our taxes?

Great site as usual,

Congratulations on meeting my needs of a portfolio with automatic data entry. The Cryptsy copy/paste and API import methods worked flawlessly! This is the most user-friendly portfolio that I've found so far! Keep it coming, I'll definitely be donating. Although, I would be willing to pay a small subscription in cryptocoins to keep the site functioning smoothly, just so you know.

Also, I would love to see these features implemented, and would be willing to contribute!

Import Deposits and Withdrawals;
Export all data;
Profit/Loss for each transaction;
LIFO and FIFO purchase rates;
A single graph of each coin value in BTC or USD over time;
MyAltCoin.com API.

Keep up the good work!
