Coinbase Global
Coinbase Global, Inc. is a publicly traded cryptocurrency platform that operates a retail exchange, an institutional trading and custody business (Coinbase Prime), and the Coinbase Developer Platform (CDP) — a suite of APIs, SDKs, and onchain tooling for wallets, payments, trading, staking, and AI agents. Developers build against the CDP API v2, the Advanced Trade API, the Coinbase App (Sign in with Coinbase) API, the Exchange and Prime APIs, and Coinbase Commerce, with authentication via short-lived JWTs signed by project API keys. CDP ships first-party TypeScript and Python SDKs, a CLI that doubles as a local MCP server, AgentKit for AI agents, webhooks, and idempotent write semantics. This profile was added to the API Evangelist network from a venture-portfolio lead and enriched from Coinbase's public developer surface.
Coinbase Global publishes 6 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Cryptocurrency, Blockchain, Payments, and Wallets.
The Coinbase Global catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.
Coinbase Global’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, signup flow, engineering blog, support, changelog, and 21 more developer resources.
