CoinbasePro API Key Generation
Before you can generate an API key, you will need a trading account. If you have not done so already read how to setup a CoinbasePro account.
The CoinbasePro API key has three parts to it: API key "id", API key "secret" and the API key "passphrase". You will need all three parts to execute trades so note down all three!
To create an API key:
Visit the page below: https://pro.coinbase.com/ and sign-in to your account
Click on your profile logo on the top-right and select the API option
3. On the Default Portfolio, click on the +New API Key option
4. Use your team name as the API key nickname
5. **Set the View and Trade permissions**
6. NOTE DOWN THE PASSPHRASE
You will then be asked to perform a 2-factor authentication, after which your secret key will be shown
7. NOTE DOWN THE SECRET KEY
After you have copied it, the Id will be shown under the default portfolio heading. In the example below it is the string starting "de6168..."
8. NOTE DOWN apiClient Id
You now have a Passphrase, Secret Key and apiClient Id. These can be used to programmatically retrieve open/closed orders, balances and submit limit/market orders to CoinbasePro.
