coinbase-java

A java wrapper around the coinbase REST APIs

Dependencies:

Supported APIs

  • Authentication
  • Get current user
  • list addresses (page, limit, and query support)
  • generate recieve address
  • buy
  • sell
  • list transactions
  • get transaction details
  • send money
  • request money
  • resend money request
  • cancel money request
  • complete money request
  • buttons

Usage:

All work is done via the CoinbaseApi class. You can construct an instance of this class one of three ways:

//Constructs an instance of CoinbaseApi using OAuth
CoinbaseApi api = new CoinbaseApi(clientId, clientSecret, redirectUrl);

//Constructs an instance of CoinbaseApi using and api key
CoinbaseApi api = new CoinbaseApi(apiKey);

//Constructs an instance of CoinbaseApi using OAuth, but providing an access token and refresh token up front
CoinbaseApi api = new CoinbaseApi(clientId, clientSecret, redirectUrl, accessToken, refreshToken);

OAuth: If you are using OAuth as your authentication mechanism, you will first need to authenticate. coinbase-java only supports coinbase's new three-legged OAuth and there are no plans to support their old, deprecated two-legged OAuth.

The first thing you need to do is generate an authentication URL. You can do this by calling:

String authUrl = api.generateOAuthUrl();

Then, the user will need to use this url to obtain an authentication code. Once the code is in hand, to authenticate, simply do

//get the auth code using the authUrl
if (api.authenticate(code)) {
    //auth success
} else {
    //auth failed
}

For information on coinbase's three-legged auth, see here.

HttpClient vs. HttpURLConnection By default, coinbase-java uses apache's HttpClient libraries for connections. If you are using a service such as Google App Engine that doesn't support these libraries or handles secure connections on its own, you can choose to use HttpURLConnection instead by doing

api.allowSecure(false);
