Update (27/04/24) :

New API connections are not currently possible due to changes made by Coinbase. We are working on a fix and expect it to be released early next week.

Thanks for your patience. Feel free to reach out to support with any questions.

Recap supports direct integration with Coinbase via read-only APIs. Once connected, Recap will retrieve all of your transaction history and set up a real-time connection to your account. 

Step 1 - Create your API Keys in Coinbase

  1. Select your account icon in the top right and click Settings on the drop-down menu. (Or navigate here)

  2. Click API Access and then select New API Key. (You may need to input 2FA authentication to access).

  3. Select all accounts and check all API permissions ending in :read, then click the Create button.

Step 2 - Connect your Coinbase Account in Recap

  1. In Accounts, click the Add Account button, then select Exchange API, then Coinbase.

  2. Give your account a name.

  3. Enter the API Key and API Secret that you created in Step 1 and click Next.

  4. Your Coinbase account card will be created and your data will start to be fetched. Please allow some time for us to retrieve the data - if you have a very large account history, this could take up to 5 minutes.
