## rotki Generic Import

You can import data (trades & events) from exchanges not supported by rotki by clicking "Import Data" on the left sidebar, selecting `Custom Import` and following the prompt. This involves the user converting the source (a not directly supported exchange, protocol, etc.) data to match the import format of rotki.

> **Note**: Keep in mind that all assets that you enter are identified by their asset identifier and not the symbol, as symbols are not unique. The identifier differs per asset and at the moment for ERC20 tokens follows the [CAIP-19](https://github.com/ChainAgnostic/CAIPs/blob/main/CAIPs/caip-19.md) format, and for others, it's just the asset symbol or a random string for manually input tokens.

For the CAIP-19 format, it's essentially calculated by knowing the chain ID and the address of your token. So for mainnet (chain ID 1) and USDT (0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7), it's `eip155:1/erc20:0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7`.

You can easily find the identifier of each asset by going to `Manage Assets > Assets` section and copying the identifier of the asset in question.

The import is split into two types:

### rotki Generic Trades Import

This is solely for importing generic trades. The expected file format is **CSV** with the following headers and descriptions as a guide:

1. **Location**: This is the source of the data. It should be one of rotki's [supported locations](#supported-locations). If it is not supported, use `"external"`.
2. **Spend Currency**: The currency you spent in the trade, can be a token address (e.g., `eip155:1/erc20:0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7`) or symbol (e.g., `BTC`).
3. **Spend Amount**: The amount of currency you spent.
4. **Receive Currency**: The currency you received in the trade, can be a token address or symbol.
5. **Receive Amount**: The amount of currency you received.
6. **Fee**: The amount charged for the trade. This is optional.
7. **Fee Currency**: The currency in which the fee was charged. This is optional.
8. **Description**: A description of the trade if any. This is optional.
9. **Timestamp**: The UTC Unix timestamp at which the trade took place. This is a milliseconds timestamp.

1. **Type**: The event type. It can be one of `"Deposit"`, `"Withdrawal"`, `"Income"`, `"Loss"`, `"Spend"` or `"Staking"`.
2. **Location**: This is the source of the data. It should be one of rotki's [supported locations](#supported-locations). If it is not supported, use `"external"`.
3. **Currency**: The currency used during the specified event.
4. **Amount**: The amount of the currency used by the event.
5. **Fee**: The amount charged for the event. This is optional.
6. **Fee Currency**: The currency in which the fee was charged. This is optional.
7. **Description**: A description of the event that was carried out, if any. This is optional.
