Coinbase Exchange is the largest US-regulated crypto venue, and the raw market data behind every pair is the substrate of arbitrage bots, portfolio dashboards, and quantitative research. This scraper exposes that substrate as one unified Apify dataset. Every record holds the live ticker, bid and ask depth up to 1,000 levels, OHLCV candles across six timeframes, and the most recent 100 trades. You point it at any of the 818 trading pairs the exchange currently lists, and the actor returns a fully populated record in a few seconds. No keys, no rate limits to manage, no scraping etiquette to relearn.

The integration story is simple. Schedule a run every minute and you have a low-latency price feed for your trading bot. Schedule it hourly and you have an OHLCV warehouse you can backfill into BigQuery or Postgres. Run it on demand to power an arbitrage detector that compares Coinbase against Binance, Kraken, or any other venue you already scrape with ParseForge. The output is flat enough for spreadsheets and structured enough for time-series databases. Pair it with a notebook and you have a research lab. Pair it with Zapier and you have a price alert system. Pair it with your own LLM agent and you have a self-driving market scout.

📋 What the Coinbase Order Book, Candles & Trades Scraper does

• 📡 Live ticker capture. Best bid, best ask, last trade, 24h open, high, low, volume, and 30-day volume in a single call.
• 🪜 Order book depth at three levels. L1 best bid/ask, L2 top-of-book aggregated, or L3 full non-aggregated book.
• 🕯️ OHLCV candles across six intervals. 1-minute, 5-minute, 15-minute, 1-hour, 6-hour, or daily buckets.
• 🔁 Recent trades with side and size. Up to 100 most recent executions per pair with sub-millisecond timestamps.
• 🎛️ Smart filters and sort. Restrict by quote currency, status, or explicit pair list. Sort by 24h volume to grab the top movers.
• 🧾 One flat record per pair. Ticker, book, candles, and trades land on the same row, ready for SQL or pandas.

Every record contains the pair identity (base, quote, display name, status), the live ticker block, derived spread and percentage change, the order book sequence and timestamp, the candle array, the recent trades array, and a precise scrape timestamp. The schema is stable across runs, so you can append snapshots safely.

💡 Why it matters: Coinbase processes billions of dollars in daily volume, and small spread shifts between Coinbase and other venues create arbitrage windows that close in seconds. Owning your own price feed instead of renting one from a paid market data vendor means lower cost, no per-call quotas, and audit-friendly raw data you control.

📊 Data fields

Each record includes: ask, baseCurrency, bid, candleGranularitySeconds, displayName, high24h, lastTradeId, lastTradeTime, low24h, open24h, orderBookLevel, priceChange24h, priceChangePercent24h, priceLast, productId, quoteCurrency, scrapedAt, spread, spreadPercent, status, url, volume24h, volume30day. These field names come straight from the actor's dataset schema, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.

⚠️ Good to Know: Coinbase rate-limits public endpoints. The actor handles 429 and 503 responses with exponential backoff, so feel free to fan out across hundreds of pairs. Candle queries return at most 300 buckets per pair per call, which is a Coinbase API constraint, not an actor limitation.
