On February 5, 2025, Coinbase began expiring all legacy API keys used for retail account connections.
To keep your API access live, you’ll need to generate a new API key through the Coinbase Developer Platform (CDP).
This update enhances security and improves API integrations. But it also means any connections relying on old keys will stop receiving new data.
What This Means for Bitwave Users
If your Coinbase integration in Bitwave was set up with a legacy API key, your data will no longer sync automatically once that key expires.
Don't worry, though – we’ve built a fast, self-serve way to restore your Coinbase connection in just a few minutes.
Follow these simple steps:
Step 1: Create a New CDP API Key
- Go to Coinbase API Settings.
- Click "Create API Key."
- Follow the prompts to generate and download your new key.
Step 2: Update Your API Key in Bitwave
- Log in to Bitwave.
- Navigate to Wallets and Connections.
- Click the Connections tab.
- Find your Coinbase Retail connection and select Update Credentials.
- Enter your new API key and save.
