Coinbase Rate Limits

Coinbase Advanced Trade API enforces separate per-user (private) and per-IP (public) limits for REST, plus higher per-IP limits for WebSocket. Limits may tighten dynamically during high-volatility periods. Identical model is used for the Coinbase Exchange API.

Coinbase Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for Coinbase on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Rate Limits specification.

It captures 4 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests_per_second and connections_per_second.

The profile also includes 3 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled.

Tagged areas include Rate Limiting, Cryptocurrency, and Trading.
