Coinbase Prime is a full-service prime brokerage platform for institutional investors, combining secure custody solutions, advanced trading options via our Smart Order Router, and real-time market data to meet the needs of professional traders and financial institutions.
The Prime APIs allow for programmatic management of trading, custody, real-time market data, and account management through REST, FIX, and WebSocket APIs.
Prime REST API: Place orders, create wallets, initiate transactions, and access historical data.
Prime FIX API: Execute high-volume orders. If you are not familiar with FIX, begin with our REST API.
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.
