The SecurityList(y) message is used to return a list of securities that matches the criteria specified in a Security List Request(x). Some of the returned FXSPOT instruments are matched on Coinbase Exchange and behave differently for order entry and market data. See Spot trading venues for how to identify them.

Arguments

Instrument Naming convention

Based on the naming convention, instrument name consists of base currency, quote currency (called together a currency pair), contract expiration date (if the instrument isn’t perpetual) and strike price (if the contract is an option). For example: ETH_USD-14SEP22-2000-P resembles an ETH-USD options contract that expires on 14 September 2022 with PUT strike price at 2000 USD. BTC_USD trading pair is treated as a default trading pair and doesn’t have quote currency provided in its name.
