Coinbase Pro Data Parser & API

Coinbase Pro was the professional, fee-tiered trading platform run by Coinbase, the largest publicly traded US crypto exchange — and StockAPIS extracts its market data (spot prices, full level-2 order books, recent trades and OHLCV candles across BTC-USD, ETH-USD and 200+ pairs) through a single REST API. Coinbase Pro has since been folded into Coinbase Advanced Trade, which exposes an official public REST and WebSocket API; StockAPIS normalizes that feed to the same schema you use for Binance, Kraken and every other venue, so you query US-regulated spot data without maintaining a separate integration.

Platform Overview

Market Position

• The largest regulated US spot crypto exchange, operated by NASDAQ-listed Coinbase Global (COIN)
• Coinbase Pro was the institutional/pro-trader tier; it has been superseded by Coinbase Advanced Trade, which serves the same market data
• 200+ trading pairs with USD, USDC, EUR and GBP quotes and deep USD-denominated liquidity
• A primary reference venue for fiat-settled crypto price discovery in the US market

Data Coverage

StockAPIS exposes the full Coinbase spot market surface:

• Spot market data — real-time prices, 24h volume, bid/ask spreads and 24-hour high/low stats
• Order book — level-1, level-2 and full-depth snapshots with configurable granularity
• Trades — recent matches with timestamps, sizes, prices and maker/taker side
• OHLCV / candles — candlestick data across granularities (1m → 1D) for backtesting and technicals
• Products — tradable pairs with base/quote increments, minimum sizes and trading status
• Exchange metadata — tick sizes, status flags and per-pair limits

Quick Start

import stockapis
 
client = stockapis.Client(api_key="your-api-key")
 
# Real-time ticker for a Coinbase pair
btc = client.coinbase_pro.get_market_data(symbol="BTC-USD")
print(f"Bitcoin: ${btc['price']}  ·  24h vol {btc['volume']}")

const { StockAPIS } = require("stockapis");
const client = new StockAPIS({ apiKey: "your-api-key" });
 
// Live level-2 order book
const book = await client.coinbase_pro.getOrderBook({ symbol: "BTC-USD", level: 2 });
console.log(book.bids[0], book.asks[0]);
