A read-only Coinbase API key

Coinbase Advanced uses CDP keys with View, Trade and Transfer permissions. To read, keep only View.

The key to create

Create a CDP key with only the View permission.

What tula checks

Coinbase reports which permissions a key has. A key that can trade or transfer is refused.

What tula reads

Every account the key can list, and INTX perpetual futures with the liquidation price Coinbase publishes.

Not read

Portfolios other than the key’s own, and CFTC-regulated futures — the US perpetual-style contracts on Coinbase Derivatives, which are not the INTX ones above.

Try it
