Prime API Features
Coinbase Prime APIs allow institutional investors to programmatically manage trading, custody, real-time market data, and account management.
Audience
Institutions with programmatic trading strategies can execute multiple order types and use Coinbase’s smart order routing technology to ensure the best all-in price across connected liquidity venues.
Financial technology firms, brokerages, and others looking to build a crypto offering within their products can integrate with the APIs to manage crypto trading on behalf of their customers.
Fund administrators and operations teams can automate critical processes such as settlements, rebalancing, and bookkeeping in a transparent manner.
