Coinbase.Exchange is separate from Coinbase.com. If you are looking for directions on creating a Coinbase.com Retail/Advanced Trade API key, please refer to this support document.

Coinbase Pro has rebranded to Coinbase Exchange and is now open only to institutional clients. Please follow the steps below to create your Coinbase.Exchange API key and add it to NODE40 Balance for import.

  1. Log into your Coinbase.Exchange Account

  2. On the left hand side you will see an option to click on API Management.

  3. Once in the API area, click + New API Key

  4. Select only “View” (any other permissions selected will cause the API key to be rejected by NODE40)

  5. Copy the “passphrase” to your clipboard.

  6. Navigate to your NODE40 Portfolio and click +New Source, and select the Coinbase Exchange option.

  7. Paste the passphrase into the appropriate box in NODE40. Then navigate back to your Coinbase account and click Create API.

  8. Copy the credential provided by Coinbase.Exchange once you click “create API” and paste into the box on NODE40 called “Secret Key”. Once you’ve pasted in the secret key and cleared the box in Coinbase, you will have to refer back to the newly-created API key in Coinbase to retrieve the “API Key”. Copy this and paste it into the “API Key” spot in NODE40 and click the blue “Save” button.
