## What it is
An unofficial Python client (pip package cbpro) wrapping the Coinbase Pro (formerly GDAX) REST and WebSocket APIs for public and authenticated endpoints. It provides easy-to-use methods for market data, order books, tickers, and programmatic trading.

## Use cases
- fetch bitcoin and ethereum prices from coinbase pro
- place buy and sell orders programmatically on coinbase
- stream real-time order book updates via websocket
- get historical trades and ticker data for a trading bot
- authenticate to coinbase pro private endpoints in python

## When to choose
- you need a quick Python wrapper for Coinbase Pro public and authenticated endpoints
- you want websocket access to the real-time order book
- you are building a crypto trading bot in Python

## When to avoid
- you need a supported client for the current Coinbase Advanced Trade API (Coinbase Pro was sunset in 2023)
- you need production-grade reliability with active maintenance and support
- you need FIX protocol connectivity, which was never completed

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: http-client, websocket, trading
- domain: fintech, apis
- platform: python, cross-platform
- tags: coinbase-pro, crypto-exchange, api-wrapper, orderbook, bitcoin, ethereum, cryptocurrency
