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.

Coinbase Exchange offers multiple connectivity options tailored to your trading and data needs:

• 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.

Exchange’s developer docs are part of Coinbase Developer Platform, the single portal from which to access Coinbase’s full suite of APIs and blockchain infrastructure products.

By accessing the Exchange Market Data API, you agree to be bound by the Market Data Terms of Use.
