# Welcome to Advanced Trade API

> Programmatic trading and order management for spot, US futures, and international derivatives.

The **Coinbase Advanced Trade API** gives you programmatic trading and order management — a [REST API](/coinbase-app/advanced-trade-apis/rest-api) for placing and managing orders, and a [WebSocket protocol](/coinbase-app/advanced-trade-apis/websocket/websocket-overview) 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                               |
| **International derivatives** | Perpetuals for eligible non-US clients — options and dated futures to follow |

## International derivatives are moving to Deribit

<Warning>
  On **September 9, 2026**, Coinbase Advanced moves international derivatives from INTX onto a Deribit-powered gateway running the next-generation **Starbase** matching engine. This is a hard cutover — plan your integration now.
</Warning>

Spot and US futures are unaffected and stay on the [Advanced Trade API](/api-reference/advanced-trade-api/rest-api/introduction). International derivatives move to a new gateway with:

* **A broader product set** — 125+ perpetual contracts at launch, including equity and commodity perpetuals, with up to 50x leverage. Options and dated futures follow.
* **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.
