How to Connect Your Coinbase Advanced Trade Account with Altrady

Coinbase Advanced Trade has replaced Coinbase Pro as the advanced trading platform provided by Coinbase. If you still have a CBP API key and need to upgrade it to a CBAT API key, please create a CBAT API key, and replace your CPB Pro API key and secret in Altrady with the new pair. This is done by editing your current CBP trading account in Altrady. Do not delete the old account and add a new one, or your entire trading history will be deleted.
Coinbase Institutional accounts are no longer supported by the standard CB API, and they will not be able to be connected to Altrady.
From 1st May, 2024, Coinbase is using Coinbase Cloud, with a new process for creating an API key. Below, find written instructions for creating a new key and adding it to Altrady.

Adding a Coinbase API key



After logging in, click on the Advanced API slider from the bottom left, to enable it.


Next, click the API icon on the left-hand side menu.


On the next screen, click on Create API Key.


Enter a nickname for your API key on Coinbase. Then, enable the Trade permission. Next we will log into Altrady to copy the IP whitelist to use here.



Log in to Altrady and navigate to Settings > Exchange Account API keys. Next, click + Connect Account.


Select Coinbase as the exchange.


From Altrady, copy the IP whitelist and paste it into Coinbase

(This is optional, but recommended for extra security)

Then click Create & Download.


A file might be downloaded in the background, and request a location and name. If that occurs, CANCEL the download.

This file includes your Coinbase API key and secret, which would compromise security if downloaded onto your computer.


Use the Copy icons to copy the API key and Secret to Altrady. The API key and secret should be copied exactly as is.

In Altrady, click Save.

In Coinbase, click I've saved my key.

Use the COPY icons. Selecting with a mouse or keyboard, and Copy/paste will not copy the keys correctly
If the API key is not created successfully in Coinbase, try logging out of Coinbase and logging in again, before creating a new API key. Then, repeat the process from the start.

In Altrady, click Add.


You have successfully connected your Coinbase Advanced Trade exchange account with Altrady.

Your recent trade and order history will be automatically imported using your API key.
Traders with a paid subscription can manually import their earlier trade history at Settings > Import Trades.
Your balances can take up to 5 minutes fo be updated by the exchange.

If your balances take longer than that to update, find out how to quickly update them:


In the Markets widget, choose Coinbase exchange to view Coinbase markets.

Place orders on your Coinbase account in the Trading widget.


If you have more than one Coinbase account, these can be selected from the Trading Accounts list, near the top of the Trading Terminal.


API details can be updated at anytime by selecting the edit icon.

Never delete your Trading account altogether, since all of your trade, order, position and portfolio history will be lost. Instead edit the account and replace the API key with a new one, if needed.
