Hello:
I see Advance Trade API will replace old Coinbase APIs, which is good. But when I look at the API end points, I can’t see any order book API end point.
Please add order book API to the new Advance Trade API, since it is very important to place orders with API. I think L1 or L2 order book will be enough, L3 is not necessary.
Thanks,
Hi @zydjohn! Welcome to the forum! We appreciate your continuous support to our Coinbase products. As of the moment, the WebSocket level2 channel of Advanced Trade is the equivalent of the Get product book of Exchange/Pro. The level2 channel guarantees delivery of all updates and is the easiest way to keep a snapshot of the order book. To subscribe to the level2 channel, you may follow the instructions provided here. Also, you may check here for reference on what are the equivalent endpoints in Coinbase Pro to Advanced Trade and Sign in with Coinbase.
We hope this helps. Please do not hesitate to reply back to this thread if you have any other concerns. Thank you!
Hello: Thank you very much for your quick response. I read the information you provided. But using a websocket to receive order books for all symbols in Coinbase seems not a very good solution; since Advanced Trade API combine all API before, then the trading pairs are too many, using websocket to transfer big chunk of data is good for server, but not good for users. Since you already have websocket for order book data, is it possible to add a Rest End Point for order book for all symbols? Just take a snap shot very minute will be enough for most users, then show the data in Rest End Point will be a good choice for users.
Please consider my suggestion, since Advance Trade API is a new one, so adding a Rest order book End point will not affect existing data.
Thanks,

Hello:
Thanks for your response. Currently, it is not rush to set a time line, but if the team can make decisions to include Rest API Endpoint to get the Order Book Data in the Advanced Trade API, then it is enough.
Please let me know as soon as they make such decisions.
Thank you very much!
