About

Coinbase Exchange makes its market data endpoints public, so you can fetch live prices, order books, recent trades, and historical candles without an account or key. You can use it to build a Bitcoin price alert, to compare Coinbase's prices with other exchanges, or to pull candle history for a trading journal. Only trading and account endpoints need authentication; pure market data is open to everyone.

Details
