If you look at the API documentation, it has accounts, see
and coinbase accounts, see Get all Coinbase wallets
what is the difference between them?
Are these difference entities?
Thanks!

Hello @SaimonM! Welcome to the forum! Thank you for taking an interest in our Coinbase APIs.
To answer your questions, I have provided the description of two endpoints so you can have a further understanding on the following endpoints.
/accounts endpoint
/coinbase-accounts endpoint
Please note that your trading accounts are separate from your Coinbase accounts. In summary, /accounts endpoint and /coinbase-accounts endpoint are two different entities
We hope this helps. Thank you and have a nice day!
Thank you so much for your answer!
I think I am confused even more.
is the difference in what applications those accounts are used in?
What can I do with accounts from the endpoint #1 (/accounts )
What can I do with accounts from the endpoint #2 (/coinbase-accounts )
I assume when I buy crypto, it goes to my wallet, which is #2. But how come that most of the information, e.g. orders, trades, etc is associate with accounts from group #1 ?
Can you list what actions can I do with accounts from group #1 and #2 ?
Not from API but from business perspective
