Implementation notes
When to use Coinbase Advanced Trade API (Public)

Common pitfalls
- Coverage is limited to Coinbase-listed assets. Less-traded altcoins not on Coinbase return 404; this is the trade-off versus aggregators like CoinGecko.
- Public endpoints rate-limit per IP, not per key. If you deploy to a shared-IP environment (some serverless platforms) you compete for the budget with other users on the same IP.
- Historical candles require both `start` and `end` ISO 8601 timestamps. Omitting either returns 400 with an unhelpful message; the docs example shows the required format but it's easy to miss.
