TL;DR: To create a new API key for your Coinbase account, log in to your account, go to the API settings page, and click the “+ New API Key” button. Select the permissions you want to grant to the API key and restrict IP access if desired. Complete the security verification and click “Create” to create your API key. Make sure to copy both the API Key and API Secret and save them securely, as you won’t be able to see the Secret Key again.
