Coinbase

The coinbase integration lets you access account balances and exchange rates from Coinbase.

You will need to obtain an API key from the API section in Coinbase’s User Settings to use this integration. Your API key and secret should be of the form organizations/XXXXX/apiKeys/XXXXX and -----BEGIN EC PRIVATE KEY-----\nXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\n-----END EC PRIVATE KEY-----\n respectively. When creating your API key, it is highly recommended to ensure that only the View box is ticked in the API restrictions section.
