Coinbase App Rate Limiting

The Coinbase App API is rate limited to prevent abuse that would degrade our ability to maintain consistent API performance for all users.

By default, each API key or OAuth-authenticated Coinbase user is rate limited to 10,000 requests per hour.

For apps using OAuth, rate limits scale with the number of unique Coinbase users who have granted access where each authorized user is allotted 10,000 requests per hour.

If you exceed your rate limit, you’ll receive an HTTP 429 response with a rate_limit_exceeded error.
