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. 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 a video and written instructions for creating a new key and adding it to Altrady.

Note: as of 6/10/2024 Coinbase has changed how this process works for US/Canada users. Please skip to the end of this article to see the new work flow on how to make an API key with Coinbase Advanced Trading.
