Coinbase is introducing the Advanced Trade TypeScript SDK, a flexible sample application that allows customers to automate their crypto trading strategies on Coinbase Advanced.
The SDK is built on top of Coinbase Advanced REST APIs and simplifies the development process, enabling traders and developers to integrate advanced crypto trading functionalities with ease.
Coinbase Advanced empowers traders with a range of tools and features that deliver substantial advantages, including integrated TradingView charts, real-time order books, enhanced order reporting, and reduced volume-based fees. The Advanced Trade API extends these functionalities, enabling traders and developers to create custom crypto trading solutions tailored to their specific needs.
However, integrating these robust APIs into custom applications can often be a time-consuming process. By popular demand, Coinbase’s first official Python SDK was launched to simplify and expedite the integration process for Python developers.
Today, the company announced the launch of its community-based Advanced Trade TypeScript SDK.
The Advanced Trade TypeScript SDK streamlines integration with the Advanced Trade API, making it easier to use Coinbase Advanced features. The SDK supports a wide range of functionalities, including:
- Market Data Access: Retrieve real-time market data, historical data, and order book details
- Order Management: Place, modify, and cancel orders programmatically for automated trading
- Account Management: Access account information, including balances, order history, and positions
- Portfolio Management: Manage multiple portfolios, including the ability to create, update, and delete portfolios
- International Exchange (INTX) support: Access exclusive instruments for retail users onboarded to Coinbase International Exchange
Built with strong typing, the SDK provides custom request and response objects for each API endpoint, simplifying API interactions and error handling. Comprehensive documentation and consistent methods make it easy to learn and accelerate development.
The application features a streamlined architecture with a clear design. Each API endpoint maps to a specific SDK method responsible for crafting requests, sending them, and processing responses.
Key components include:
- HTTP Communication: Manages interactions with the Advanced Trade API, including GET, POST, PUT, DELETE requests, JWT token authentication, and session handling
- Client Initialization: Sets up and configures the client for API requests, establishing the necessary connection
- Endpoint Handlers: Each endpoint has a handler that integrates request and response structures, defining parameters and capturing returned data
- Model: Provides typed request and response structures for trading entities like assets and orders, offering a type-safe interface
- Utilities: Includes helper functions for common tasks such as pagination
The Advanced Trade TypeScript SDK is designed for flexibility and easy extension, allowing developers to add new endpoints and features with minimal effort.
