📊 Step 1: Export Data from Ledger Live
Manual CSV Export (For Spreadsheets & Tax Tools)
- Open Ledger Live and go to Accounts.
- Click the “Export” button (top-right).
- Select CSV or JSON format and date range.
- Import into:
- Google Sheets/Excel (for custom tracking)
- Koinly/CoinTracker (for automated tax reports)
Scheduled Exports (Advanced Users)
- Use Python or Node.js to auto-export data:
- python
- Copy
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv(“ledger_export.csv”)
- df.to_csv(“auto_portfolio_report.csv”) # Update daily
- Run scripts via Task Scheduler (Windows) or cron jobs (Linux/Mac).
🤖 Step 2: Automate with Third-Party Tools
Tool | Automation Features | Ledger Integration |
Koinly | Auto-sync via CSV, tax reports | CSV upload |
CoinTracker | API-based tracking | Manual CSV/WalletConnect |
CoinStats | Real-time portfolio alerts | CSV/API sync |
Google Sheets | Custom formulas + scripts | CSV import |
Example: Koinly Auto-Tax Reporting
- Upload Ledger Live CSV to Koinly.
- Set auto-sync for weekly updates.
- Generate capital gains reports instantly.
⚙️ Step 3: Custom API Solutions (For Developers)
Since Ledger Live lacks a public API, developers can:
- Parse CSV/JSON exports programmatically.
- Use WalletConnect for DeFi tracking (e.g., Zapper.fi).
- Build Discord/Telegram bots for balance alerts.
python
Copy
# Sample Python script for portfolio alerts
import requests
from datetime import datetime
def get_ledger_balance():
df = pd.read_csv(“ledger_export.csv”)
btc_balance = df[df[“Currency”] == “BTC”][“Amount”].sum()
return f”BTC Balance: {btc_balance} (Updated: {datetime.now()})”
# Send to Discord webhook
webhook_url = “YOUR_DISCORD_WEBHOOK”
requests.post(webhook_url, json={“content”: get_ledger_balance()})
🔒 Security Best Practices
✔ Never expose private keys in scripts/APIs.
✔ Use read-only exports (no signing permissions).
✔ Verify third-party tools (avoid scams like fake Koinly sites).
💡 Pro Tips for Automation
✔ Schedule weekly CSV backups (avoid data gaps).
✔ Label transactions (e.g., “Staking,” “Airdrop”).
✔ Compare Ledger data with exchanges (Binance, Coinbase).
🚨 Limitations
- No real-time API (manual exports required).
- DeFi/NFTs may need manual tagging.
🚀 Advanced: Self-Hosted Portfolio Trackers
- Run a Bitcoin node + Electrum for UTXO-level tracking.
- Use Specter Desktop for multisig reporting.
