If I can connect to both my Coinbase Wallets and my GDAX accounts... I will be well on my way to understanding my cryptocurrency portfolio in ways that are not provided in the web UI. The good news is that there is a official python Coinbase module. A WORD OF CAUTION :  Coinbase handles financial assets. Always use the sandbox when testing code and ideas.

Goals Securely authenticate to Coinbase REST service using official Coinbase module Get a list of accounts/wallets for the authenticated user Get a list of all transactions for all accounts Display the results Display the execution duration in seconds Prep Login to Coinbase and gener...

Get GDAX balances using code? Lets do it.  I was checking out the Coinbase  GDAX  REST API the other day and I immediately had some ideas of how I could use it. I am not a software developer by trade, but even for a scripter like myself, a quick review of the GDAX  documentation  proved to be understandable. It was time well spent and I recommend you have a gander prior to executing the code in this post. We are going to use Python in this example. Why Python? Because I make the decisions here.

Use appropriate security measures when using API credentials.  Goals Securely authenticate to the GDAX REST API Get a list of accounts for the authenticated user Display the accounts details in prettified format Display the execution duration in seconds Prep Login to GDAX and generate an API key.
