Coinbase CDP

How to get your Coinbase CDP API key and connect it to Nova Admin.

Create a Coinbase Developer Platform API key for x402 payments. Use Base Sepolia for live agentic commerce testnet spends.

Prerequisites

Steps

  1. Go to Create a CDP API key.
  2. Create a new API key / CDP API Key ID (starts with xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx) and copy it immediately — most providers show it only once.
  3. Note any additional required values: Network (e.g. base-sepolia), Facilitator URL (e.g. https://api.cdp.coinbase.com/platform/v2/x402), Wallet Address (e.g. 0x...).
  4. In Nova Admin, go to /agents/integrations, find Coinbase CDP, and paste the values into the credential dialog.
