library1.8.4pypypi✓ verified 25d ago

Official Coinbase Advanced Trade API Python SDK. Current version: 1.8.2 (Mar 2026). TWO deprecated packages to avoid: 'coinbase' (old Coinbase Commerce SDK, EOL) and 'cbpro' (Coinbase Pro, discontinued). The correct package is 'coinbase-advanced-py'. Uses CDP (Coinbase Developer Platform) API keys with EC private key format — NOT the old HMAC API key format. Import is 'from coinbase.rest import RESTClient'.

Coinbase Advanced Trade Python SDK — accounts, product info, and market order.

# pip install coinbase-advanced-py from coinbase.rest import RESTClient # From CDP dashboard: Advanced Trade API key client = RESTClient(key_file='cdp_api_key.json') # Get accounts accounts = client.get_accounts() for acct in accounts['accounts']: print(acct['name'], acct['available_balance']['value']) # Get BTC-USD product info product = client.get_product(product_id='BTC-USD') print(product['price']) # Place market buy ($10 of BTC) order = client.market_order_buy( client_order_id='', # auto-generate product_id='BTC-USD', quote_size='10' ) print(order['success'])

Debug

Known issues

breakingPackage name is 'coinbase-advanced-py' but import is 'from coinbase.rest import RESTClient'. The 'coinbase' PyPI package is a completely different old SDK (Coinbase Commerce). Do not confuse them.

fix

pip install coinbase-advanced-py; from coinbase.rest import RESTClient

affects: all

breakingCoinbase Pro (cbpro) discontinued. All LLM and tutorial code using cbpro or the old Coinbase Pro API is broken. Migrate to coinbase-advanced-py.

fix

pip install coinbase-advanced-py. Migration guide at docs.cdp.coinbase.com

affects: all

breakingCDP API keys use EC private key format (PEM). Old HMAC-based API keys (key + secret string) are not compatible with coinbase-advanced-py. Must generate new CDP keys.

fix

Generate CDP API key from developer.coinbase.com — downloads a JSON file with name and privateKey fields.

affects: all

gotchaclient_order_id must be unique per order. Setting to empty string '' auto-generates a UUID. Reusing the same client_order_id for different orders causes idempotent rejection.

fix

Use client_order_id='' for auto-generation, or generate your own UUID.

affects: all

gotchaquote_size (in USD) vs base_size (in BTC) for market orders. market_order_buy uses quote_size to buy X dollars of crypto. market_order_sell uses base_size to sell X units of crypto.

fix

Buy $10 of BTC: quote_size='10'. Sell 0.001 BTC: base_size='0.001'.

affects: all
