# Welcome to Advanced Trade API

> Programmatic trading and order management for spot, US futures, and Global Derivatives.

The **Coinbase Advanced Trade API** gives you programmatic trading and order management — a [REST API](https://docs.cdp.coinbase.com/coinbase-app/advanced-trade-apis/rest-api.md) for placing and managing orders, and a [WebSocket protocol](https://docs.cdp.coinbase.com/coinbase-app/advanced-trade-apis/websocket/websocket-overview.md) for real-time market data and account updates. Official SDKs wrap both.

[Advanced Trade](https://www.coinbase.com/advanced-trade) is Coinbase's trading platform for the more experienced trader — a secure way to buy, sell, and trade digital assets across a wide range of markets.

## Interfaces

Choose the interface that fits your integration. All three share one CDP API key.

## What you can trade

| Market | What it covers |
| :- | :- |
| **Spot** | Buy, sell, and trade digital assets across spot pairs |
| **US futures** | CFTC-regulated futures for eligible US clients |
| **Global Derivatives** | Perpetuals for eligible non-US clients, traded on a Deribit-powered gateway |

## Global Derivatives on Deribit

Advanced Trade international derivatives trade on a Deribit-powered gateway running on the **Starbase** platform. They moved there from INTX on October 1, 2026, and INTX perpetuals are no longer traded through the Advanced Trade API.

Spot and US futures are unaffected and stay on the [Advanced Trade API](https://docs.cdp.coinbase.com/api-reference/advanced-trade-api/rest-api/introduction.md). The Global Derivatives gateway offers:

* **A broader product set** — 125+ perpetual contracts, including equity and commodity perpetuals, with up to 50x leverage. Options and dated futures are not yet available.
* **New native order types** — trailing stops, market-limit, and iceberg orders, plus WebSocket order entry.
* **A new protocol** — JSON-RPC 2.0 over HTTP or WebSocket. Keep your existing CDP API key.
