Coinbase Advanced Trade API Python Client
This is the unofficial Python client for the Coinbase Advanced Trade API. It allows users to interact with the API to manage their cryptocurrency trading activities on the Coinbase platform.
Features
- Easy-to-use Python wrapper for the Coinbase Advanced Trade API
- Supports the new Coinbase Cloud authentication method
- Built on top of the official Coinbase Python SDK for improved stability
- Supports all endpoints and methods provided by the official API
- Added support for trading strategies covered on the YouTube channel
Setup
-
Install the package using pip:
pip install coinbase-advancedtrade-python
-
Obtain your API key and secret from the Coinbase Developer Platform. The new API key format looks like this:
API Key: organizations/{org_id}/apiKeys/{key_id}
API Secret: -----BEGIN EC PRIVATE KEY-----\n...\n-----END EC PRIVATE KEY-----\n
Authentication
Here's an example of how to authenticate using the new method:
from coinbase_advanced_trader.enhanced_rest_client import EnhancedRESTClient
api_key = "organizations/{org_id}/apiKeys/{key_id}"
api_secret = "-----BEGIN EC PRIVATE KEY-----\n...\n-----END EC PRIVATE KEY-----\n"
client = EnhancedRESTClient(api_key=api_key, api_secret=api_secret)
Usage of Strategies
The EnhancedRESTClient
inherits from the Coinbase SDK's RESTClient
, which means you can use all the functions provided by the official SDK. Here's an example of how to use the get_product
function:
product_info = client.get_product(product_id="BTC-USDC")
print(product_info)
Using Wrapper Strategies
Here's an example of how to use the strategies package to buy $10 worth of Bitcoin. By making assumptions about limit price in trading_config.py we are able to simplify the syntax for making limit orders:
from coinbase_advanced_trader.enhanced_rest_client import EnhancedRESTClient
client = EnhancedRESTClient(api_key=api_key, api_secret=api_secret)
client.fiat_market_buy("BTC-USDC", "10")
client.fiat_limit_buy("BTC-USDC", "10")
client.fiat_limit_buy("BTC-USDC", "10", "10000")
client.fiat_limit_buy("BTC-USDC", "10", price_multiplier=".90")
client.fiat_limit_sell("BTC-USDC", "10", "100000")
client.fiat_limit_sell("BTC-USDC", "5")
client.fiat_limit_sell("BTC-USDC", "5", price_multiplier="1.1")
Usage of Fear and Greed Index
from coinbase_advanced_trader.enhanced_rest_client import EnhancedRESTClient
client = EnhancedRESTClient(api_key=api_key, api_secret=api_secret)
client.trade_based_on_fgi("BTC-USDC", "10")
Advanced Usage
You can also update and retrieve the Fear and Greed Index schedule:
current_schedule = client.get_fgi_schedule()
new_schedule = [
{'threshold': 15, 'factor': 1.2, 'action': 'buy'},
{'threshold': 37, 'factor': 1.0, 'action': 'buy'},
{'threshold': 35, 'factor': 0.8, 'action': 'sell'},
{'threshold': 45, 'factor': 0.6, 'action': 'sell'}
]
client.update_fgi_schedule(new_schedule)
Legacy Support
The legacy authentication method is still supported but moved to a separate module. It will not receive the latest updates from the Coinbase SDK. To use the legacy method:
from coinbase_advanced_trader.legacy.legacy_config import set_api_credentials
from coinbase_advanced_trader.legacy.strategies.limit_order_strategies import fiat_limit_buy
legacy_key = "your_legacy_key"
legacy_secret = "your_legacy_secret"
set_api_credentials(legacy_key, legacy_secret)
limit_buy_order = fiat_limit_buy("BTC-USDC", 10)
