How to connect VALR to Coinfig

How to create a read-only VALR API key
  1. Open your VALR API keys

    Log in to VALR, open the account menu from the grid icon in the top bar and choose API keys.

  2. Start a new key

    Tap Create API Key and acknowledge the risk notice VALR shows you.

  3. Give it view access only

    Enter a name for the key, tick “View access” and leave every other permission unticked, then tap Next.

  4. Click the VALR email link

    VALR emails you an authorisation link. Click it to authorise the key. Do not switch subaccount while the email is pending, because that invalidates the link.

  5. Copy your credentials

    VALR then shows the API Key and API Secret once. Copy both before you close the page.

  6. Paste into Coinfig

    In Coinfig, choose VALR, paste the key and secret, and click Connect to sync your full trade history.

Known limitations

  • VALR Pay and certain promotional rewards may need a manual CSV top-up.
  • Very old accounts (pre-2019) may have gaps in the API history; use the CSV export to backfill.
  • An API key covers the main account only, so subaccount activity is not included in the sync.
  • Switching subaccount while the authorisation email is still pending invalidates the link. Create the key again and click the link before you switch.

VALR tax FAQ

Is the VALR API connection safe?
Yes. Coinfig only requests read-only API keys, so it can never trade or withdraw from your account. Your secret is encrypted at rest.
Does Coinfig support VALR for SARS tax reports?
Yes. Coinfig classifies your VALR trades for South African tax and produces a filing-ready capital gains and income summary.
Does VALR report to SARS?
VALR is a South African registered exchange and, under the Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework effective 1 March 2026, SA platforms increasingly share account data with SARS. File a complete return; this is not tax advice.
Can I import VALR history with a CSV instead?
Yes. If you prefer not to use the API, export your transaction history from VALR and upload the CSV file to Coinfig.
How far back does the VALR sync go?
The API syncs your full available trade history. For accounts older than a few years, a CSV export can fill any gaps.
