How to get a list of Coinbase CryptoCurrency Coins - coinbase-api

Question

I've been trying to figure out a way to get a list of all the Coins that Coinbase has listed (not necessarily for trade) but can't figure it out, in the early days it was easy as you could just login and see the list of 4 basic coins that were supported (and could hard code those values in a program and/or script).
But now they have a list of many coins listed, some as I understand, which are not available to actually trade but are listed for educational purposes (as stated on their site when looking at such coins).
I was wondering if anyone has figured out a way to get a list those coins (all supported and simply listed) perhaps with a tag of which are actually supported for trade.
I looked at the API and the REST API (using a simple GET request over HTTPS or using cURL for testing) has the following endpoints:
curl https://api.coinbase.com/v2/currencies - This lists all the Fiat currencies.
and:
curl https://api.pro.coinbase.com/products - This lists all the supported trading pairs (which is not what I'm looking for....)
Any ideas, short of logging in and parsing the html? (which could break since the site can be reformatted etc at any time).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

perhaps not really what you asked, but you could also use https://api.pro.coinbase.com/currencies
import requests
import json
uri = 'https://api.pro.coinbase.com/currencies'
response = requests.get(uri).json()
for i in range(len(response)):
if response[i]['details']['type'] == 'crypto':
print(response[i]['id])
This will return the coins available for trading.

I'm not sure if I this is the response that you want or not. I first used the first URL that you have listed... The response from that looked like it didn't have the available coins. I then tried the below URL instead and the response does have a lot of curriencies listed on it. You can parse it by loading with JSON and looking for the fields that you want.
Also I didn't see a language posted with your question. I'm using python3 below. If you're a Linux person you can also just use curl GET from the command line. It doesn't matter the language... you just need to make a GET request to that URL and parse the response however you see fit.
To get 1 particular field you can use a line like response['data']['rates']['BTC'] to extract '0.00029200' out of the response/JSON string.
>>> r = requests.get("https://api.coinbase.com/v2/exchange-rates")
>>> response = json.loads(r.text)
>>> pprint.pprint(response)
