Frequently asked questions
Do I need a Coinbase Advanced Trade account?
Yes. Tradapt connects to the Coinbase Advanced Trade API (formerly Coinbase Pro). Basic Coinbase accounts without Advanced Trade access are not supported via API — use CSV import instead.
Where do I create the Coinbase API key?
Through the Coinbase Developer Platform (cdp.coinbase.com), not the main Coinbase settings page. Make sure to select View-only permissions when creating the key.
What plan do I need for Coinbase API sync?
Coinbase API auto-sync is planned for Essential and Pro (coming soon). CSV import works on every plan today.
Does Tradapt import my Coinbase staking or earn rewards?
No. Only Advanced Trade fills (buy/sell executions) are imported. Staking rewards, earn, and transfers are not imported.
