How to Connect Your Coinbase Advanced Trade account with Altrady

Coinbase Advanced Trade will soon replace Coinbase Pro as the advanced trading platform provided by Coinbase.

New users can connect a CBAT API key to Altrady.

Users with a Coinbase Pro account already connected to Altrady should swap their CB Pro API key for a CB-AT API key, in order to keep their CB Pro trade history.

Coinbase will sometimes impose a 48 hour wait time on a new API key. If that's the case, you will receive a Coinbase email to that point. The API key cannot be added to Altrady until the 48 hours has elapsed.

From 1st April, Coinbase will be using Coinbase Cloud for API keys, with a new process for creating an API key: Coinbase API keys from 1st April](#3-coinbase-api-keys-from-first-april)


a) Log into your Coinbase account at coinbase.com
b) Open the Account dropdown menu
c) Swap to** Advanced** Trade
d) Choose My Preferences from the account menu.

From the Settings page, choose the API option



Click + New API Key



Choose the Settings shown in the image (IP addresses will be added in a later step).



Log in to Altrady and navigate to the Exchange API Keys page.



If you already have a Coinbase Pro API key connected to Altrady, continue here.
Otherwise skip to #7.
Locate your Coinbase Pro API key is the list of Trading Accounts and click to Edit.


Skip to #10.

7.** If you don't currently have a Coinbase Pro account connected to Altrady, you will need to add a new Trading account for Coinbase AT.**
On the Exchange API Keys page, click + Connect Account.



Choose Live account type
And select Coinbase exchange from the list of Spot exchanges.



Give the Account a meaningful label.



Recommended: Copy the IP addresses from Altrady to your Coinbase AT API key. This adds extra security so that even if anyone ever hacked your key and secret details, the exchange would reject any transactions that do not come from these IP addresses (owned by Altrady).
Continue in Coinbase, and click Create at the bottom.



If the API key is not created successfully, try logging out of Coinbase and logging in again before creating a new API key.
And repeat from the start.

The API Key and secret will be displayed.
Copy and paste the API key and then the Secret to Altrady.
Click Update or Save in Altrady.
And Close the API Key details window in Coinbase by clicking away from it.



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>Exchange Import.

You can edit the API details anytime by selecting the edit icon.

Never delete your API key altogether, since all of your trade, order, position and portfolio history will be lost.



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 GDAX markets to view Coinbase markets.
Place orders on your Coinbase AT account in the Trading widget.
