Coinbase operations toolkit: cb for trade planning and order lifecycle management, hdb for ledger ingestion/reconciliation and tax-facing analytics, hdb-portal for local read-only web analysis, plus shared TypeScript modules for authenticated API access and reusable CLI infrastructure.

What is here

• cb: trading operations CLI (quotes, sizing, plan workflows, order lifecycle) (src/apps/cb)
• hdb: accounting/data CLI (imports, snapshots, lots, reconciliation, exports) (src/apps/hdb)
• hdb-portal: local web portal for hdb analysis (src/apps/hdb-portal)
• shared: reusable Coinbase/auth/env/log/schema modules (src/shared)
• helper-env-check: env/credential validation binary (src/shared/bin/validate-env.ts)

Imports

Use explicit relative imports with .js specifiers under NodeNext.

Requirements

• Node.js >=20
• npm

Quick Start

npm install
mkdir -p "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/helper"
cp .env.example "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/helper/.env"

Set this value in the env file:

HELPER_COINBASE_CREDENTIALS_PATH=/absolute/path/to/coinbase-credentials.json
HELPER_ALLOW_LIVE_EXCHANGE=true

Create Coinbase App API credentials using: https://docs.cdp.coinbase.com/coinbase-app/authentication-authorization/api-key-authentication

When creating the key in CDP, select the ECDSA signature algorithm (ES256).

Build and link binaries locally:

npm run build
npm link
