Welcome to Exchange APIs
Welcome to Coinbase Exchange API documentation for traders and developers! The APIs are separated into two categories, trading and market data:
- Trading APIs require authentication and let you place orders and access account information.
- Market Data APIs provide market data and are public.
To Get Started
-
Generate an API key per REST API Authentication.
-
Select an API:
- REST API for lower-frequency trading and general requests.
- FIX Order Entry API for higher-frequency trading.
- WebSocket Feed for market data.
- FIX Market Data API for latency sensitive market data feeds.
Python examples of REST, WebSocket, and FIX APIs are available on the Coinbase Samples GitHub.
