Coinbase introduces the Advanced Trade TypeScript SDK, a flexible sample application that allows customers to automate crypto trading strategies on Coinbase Advanced.
The SDK is built on top of the Coinbase Advanced REST APIs and simplifies the development process, allowing merchants and developers to integrate advanced crypto trading functionality with ease.
Coinbase Advanced empowers traders with a range of tools and features that deliver significant benefits, including integrated TradingView charts, real-time order books, improved order reporting and reduced volume-based fees. The Advanced Trade API extends these functions, allowing traders and developers to build custom crypto trading solutions tailored to their specific needs.
However, integrating these powerful APIs into custom applications can often be a time-consuming process. By popular demand, Coinbase’s first official Python SDK has been released to simplify and speed up the onboarding process for Python developers.
Today, the company announced the release of its community-based Advanced Trade TypeScript SDK.
The Advanced Trade TypeScript SDK simplifies integration with the Advanced Trade API, making Coinbase Advanced features easier to use. The SDK supports a wide range of features, including:
- Access to market data: Retrieve real-time market data, historical data and order book details
- Order Management: Place, modify and cancel orders programmatically for automated trading
- Account Management: Access account information, including balances, order history and positions
- Portfolio Management: Manage multiple portfolios, including the ability to create, update and delete portfolios
- International Exchange (INTX) Support: Access exclusive media for retail users integrated with the Coinbase International Exchange
Designed with strong typing, the SDK provides custom request and response objects for each API endpoint, simplifying API interactions and error handling. Comprehensive documentation and consistent methods make learning easy and development fast.
The app has an improved architecture with a clean design. Each API endpoint is mapped to a specific SDK method that is responsible for creating requests, sending them, and processing responses.
Key ingredients include:
- HTTP Communication: Handles interactions with the Advanced Trade API, including GET, POST, PUT, DELETE requests, JWT token authentication, and session handling
- Client Initialization: Sets up and configures the client for API requests, creating the necessary connection
- Endpoint handlers: Each endpoint has a handler that encapsulates request and response structures, setting parameters and collecting returned data
- Model: Provides typed request and response structures for business entities such as assets and orders, offering a type-safe interface
- Utilities: Includes utility functions for common tasks such as pagination
The Advanced Trade TypeScript SDK is designed for flexibility and easy extensibility, allowing developers to add new endpoints and features with minimal effort.
