Connecting Coinbase

Follow these steps carefully to generate a Read-Only API key from Coinbase and connect it to Alara.

1. 1. Log in:

   Go to Coinbase.com and log in.

2. 2. Find API Settings:

   Go to Profile Icon -> Settings -> API tab.

3. 3. Create Key:

   Click "+ New API Key". Select portfolios if asked (e.g., "All").

4. 4. Set Permissions (IMPORTANT!):

   Choose permissions carefully:

   • ONLY CHECK "Read" permissions. (Like `wallet:accounts:read`, `wallet:transactions:read`, etc.)
   • DO NOT CHECK anything with "Trade", "Transfer", "Create", "Send", "Withdraw", "Update", "Delete".

   Only allow viewing accounts and trade history.

5. 5. Security Check:

   Enter 2FA code.

6. 6. Copy Keys:

   Copy the API Key. Copy the API Secret (shown only once!). Store both safely.

7. 7. Enter in Alara:

   Go to Alara Dashboard -> Connect New Exchange -> Select "Coinbase". Paste API Key and API Secret. Name it. Click "Connect".

VPN Note: Coinbase Advanced Trade (formerly Coinbase Pro) API is typically accessible without a VPN for supported regions.

Exchange interfaces change frequently. If these steps seem outdated, please refer to Coinbase's official API documentation or contact our support.
