To expand existing coverage of Coinbase Institutional products with sample SDKs, Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) released the Prime Java SDK and International Exchange (INTX) Java SDK.
These SDKs provide essential tools and libraries “to interact directly with Coinbase Prime and INTX.”
As noted in a blog post by Coinbase, Java remains one of “the most widely used programming languages in the world, especially among financial institutions.”
As explained by Coinbase, its reliability and performance “have proven to be critical in trading environments where latency and stability can significantly impact outcomes. Java’s cross-platform compatibility ensures that applications can run on various operating systems without modification, making it a versatile choice for developers.”
Moreover, our clients have emphasized the need “for robust Java SDKs to integrate their trading systems with our Institutional APIs.”
The Prime and INTX Java SDKs offer “a wide array of functionalities designed to simplify and enhance client interaction with Coinbase’s trading platforms.”
Here are some key features:
- Authentication and Authorization: Simplified handling of API keys and secrets, ensuring secure and authenticated requests
- Order Management: Create, modify, and cancel orders with ease. Includes support for complex order types and parameters
- Portfolio Management: Manage and monitor trading portfolios, view balances, and track performance
- Transfer and Settlement: Handle internal transfers between portfolios, withdraw to crypto addresses, and track transactions
- Error Handling: Robust error handling and response parsing to ensure smooth operation and easy debugging
Both SDKs are built using “a shared core Java library, ensuring consistency in the features mentioned above.”
This allows both SDKs to be used in conjunction “without needing to write bespoke handlers.”
The Coinbase Prime and INTX Java SDKs are both vended through Maven.
To use these in your own project, install the dependencies using Maven.
The release of the Prime Java SDK and International Exchange (INTX) Java SDK “marks a significant step in enhancing our support for institutional traders.”
By providing these comprehensive Java SDKs, Coinbase are “catering to the specific needs of financial institutions, ensuring they have the tools necessary for efficient and secure trading.”
