Seems they forgot to write the documentation lol https://docs.cloud.coinbase.com/exchange/reference/market-fe...

Documentation was linked to here from main page: https://docs.cloud.coinbase.com/ Not sure where you found that other link but sort of embarrassing to have that publicly exposed.

It happens, we're not perfect ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Can someone ELI5 how this is any different to what the current Coinbase API offers? https://developers.coinbase.com/api/v2 Reading through the entire Coinbase Cloud page and even going into the Coinbase Cloud Exchange docs ( https://docs.cloud.coinbase.com/exchange/docs ) doesn't make it clear what this offers over Coinbase's current API.

Hi, Joe here, heading up Coinbase Cloud. tldr; this is our first step in providing a full set of API based services to build crypto applications and unifying the existing APIs that exist.

Importantly, this will go well beyond interacting with Coinbase existing products and provide tooling needed to make it easier for developers to build new web3 applications.

This seems more of a product to keep their investors happy than it does actually improving the crypto ecosystem. Feels like you lose the decentralization benefits of crypto when you are doing everything over a centralized service. I don't know how much Coinbase have abstracted things, but there's probably a fair amount of lock-in here too.

The idea is to make it easier to build products without having to build the entire stack. We'll still leverage decentralized protocols.

Looks interesting. Or at least one step closer to improving access to tooling. I can totally see coin base becoming the de facto platform for this sort of stuff. Not ideal centralisation wise but oh well

Thanks. Appreciate any feedback from this community and hoping to make the product better as we go.
