Coinbase new listings and roadmap alerts over WebSocket

New Listings Feed tracks Coinbase new listings and listing-roadmap additions. Follow new listings on Coinbase free on our website, Telegram and X, or deliver each announcement to your trading bot through our ultra-low-latency WebSocket API. Parsed tickers and event types tell a roadmap addition apart from a spot listing.

Coinbase events we send

Coinbase spot listings and roadmap additions use parser.exchange: coinbase. Both are listing events; parser.classification.type distinguishes spot from roadmap. Coinbase International perpetual-futures listings use the separate exchange identifier coinbaseinternational.

A roadmap addition and a spot listing answer different questions

A roadmap alert tells your bot that Coinbase added a token to its listing roadmap. Coinbase describes the roadmap as assets it has decided to list, while stating that transfers and trading are unsupported until a listing is officially announced. Use the alert to identify the token, review its existing markets and prepare your listing rules.

A spot alert carries the spot-listing announcement. Read its source text for the planned trading date, pair and conditions. A spot announcement can precede the opening of trading: the BLUECHIP example below said its USD pair would open later that day if liquidity conditions were met.

Listing announcements and Coinbase market data

New Listings Feed gives bot builders a WebSocket feed with source links and parsed listing classifications across Coinbase and the other exchanges they follow.

A listing event and market data serve different jobs. The event identifies the announcement and its tokens; prices, order books and trading status describe the market where your system could act. Keep those inputs separate when evaluating an announcement.

Recent Coinbase new listings and roadmap additions

This recorded /v2/fast Coinbase event took 214µs (0.214ms) from detection to publication.

On 16 September 2026, the feed recorded BLUECHIP and RITUAL entering the Coinbase roadmap, followed by a separate BLUECHIP spot-listing announcement. These public records show why a client should retain both the ticker and the event type.

The BLUECHIP Full payload below was recorded from the feed. It includes a Base contract under suggested_match with very high confidence; its confirmed contracts array is empty. The roadmap example is a shortened reconstruction from the linked record, with event IDs, timestamps, source text and enrichment omitted.

Filter Coinbase spot, roadmap or International listings

Set exchange=coinbase&market_type=spot,roadmap to receive both spot and roadmap events on Full. Comma-separated market types use OR. Different parameters combine with AND. Check parser.classification.event in your client to select listings and exclude delistings.

For Coinbase International perpetual futures, use exchange=coinbaseinternational&market_type=futures. Selecting only exchange=coinbase will exclude that separate feed.

To select posts from CoinbaseMarkets, use data_type=tweet&username=coinbasemarkets. Omit exchange if you want posts across both Coinbase identifiers. To receive raw events on Fast, use the exchange or username filter without market_type.

Node.js: receive Coinbase spot-listing events

Install ws, set NLF_API_KEY, and save this example as coinbase-listings.cjs. Run node coinbase-listings.cjs. It uses the FREE Full host, selects Coinbase spot events and logs every ticker in a listing notice.

For roadmap events, change the URL to market_type=roadmap and the client check to classification.type !== "roadmap". To receive both, use market_type=spot,roadmap and allow both types in the client check. STARTER and PRO keys use a regional host such as ny.newlistings.pro.

// npm install ws
const WebSocket = require("ws");

if (!process.env.NLF_API_KEY) {
  throw new Error("Set NLF_API_KEY before starting the client.");
}

const ws = new WebSocket(
  "wss://ws.newlistings.pro/v2/full?exchange=coinbase&market_type=spot",
  { headers: {
    authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.NLF_API_KEY}`
  } }
);

ws.on("message", raw => {
  const message = JSON.parse(raw.toString());
  if (message.type === "error") {
    console.error(message.code, message.message);
    return;
  }
  const parser = message.parser;
  const classification = parser?.classification;
  if (parser?.exchange !== "coinbase" ||
      classification?.event !== "listing" ||
      classification.type !== "spot") return;

  for (const asset of parser.assets) {
    console.log({
      symbol: asset.symbol,
      type: classification.type,
      display: parser.display,
      url: message.url
    });
  }
});

ws.on("error", error => console.error(error.message));

Compare Coinbase listing arrivals from your bot server

For Coinbase, connect directly to our New York WebSocket on AWS US East: wss://ny.newlistings.pro/v2/fast for raw notices or wss://ny.newlistings.pro/v2/full for parsed events. STARTER and PRO include this regional endpoint. Compare equivalent spot or roadmap announcements from your bot server.

FREE supports integration testing with a 3-second configured delay and no onchain enrichment. A comparison of PRO delivery requires a PRO capture with its zero configured delay. Network transit still takes time. Keep announcement arrival separate from the later time your venue accepts an order.
