Notifications

Notification Resource

Notifications allow you to subscribe to updates regarding your OAuth application or API key. Notifications are sent as HTTP POST requests (webhooks) to a notification endpoint, which the developer can set for their OAuth application or API key settings.

Each notification contains the following information:

  • Type - Action that triggered the event
  • Data - Data of the resource at the time of the event
  • Additional data - Additional data associated with the event
  • User - Owner of the resource (useful with OAuth applications)
  • Account - Account of the resource
  • Delivery information

If notification delivery fails, it will be re-tried hourly up to three days. If you ever need to access notifications afterwards, you can query them using notification API endpoints. Content of the notification will not change even if the referenced resource changes over time.

To secure your notifications, you should obfuscate your notification URL and verify the origin of the callback by validating it against the Coinbase callback IP addresses and signature (CB-SIGNATURE header).

tip

Read more about notifications.

Outbound notifications (webhooks) are versioned using API version defined in user's API settings.

Listed below are notification types that are currently supported. Each type is named with service:resource:action. For example, confirming a buy on the Wallet API is wallet:buys:completed. To protect sensitive information, read permission for the resource is required to receive notifications for the resource type. For example, an API key needs to have wallet:buys:read permission to receive a notification for wallet:buys:completed. There are some exceptions to this rule, but each supported notification type is listed below with its corresponding required permissions.

Only notifications listed below are currently supported. We'll add more notifications over time.
