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. So not delete the old account and add a new one, or your entrie trading history will be deleted.
Coinbase Institutional accounts are not/no longer supported by the standard CB API. However, if you can create an API key on the CB retail site, it can be used with Altrady.
From 1st May, 2024, Coinbase is using Coinbase Cloud, with a new process for creating an API key. Below find video and written instrucitons for creating a new key and adding it to Altrady.
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.
Note: as of 6/10/2024 Coinbase has changed how this process looks to create an API key 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
