Title: BitAnalysis- A Free GUI for Coinbase Exchange API Raw Data Processing
Post by: bitanalysis on April 04, 2015, 02:41:13 AM
After looking around for a good way to analyze my Coinbase Exchange transactions and finding none I designed and launched this website. All tools on this site are free to use. Share and Enjoy!
http://www.bitanalysis.us/

Please let me know what you think. Provide some feedback.

NOTE: user "person" asked about security please see response below. Cheers :)

Thanks for mentioning security! Just to clarify all historical analysis, graphing and file prep tools on www.BitAnalysis.us can be used WITHOUT any account authorization.

Analysis is done based on raw Exchange JSON responses saved to text files so you do not need to provide any account information.  Responses can even have transaction IDs stripped prior to analysis.


Real time analysis can be done with "VIEW ONLY" keys as addressed on page http://www.bitanalysis.us/analysis/orders.shtml
You should NEVER provide activate trading keys to ANYONE.


Active Trading credentials are ONLY needed for posting API requests to the Exchange. The API forms are meant to be more of a template for integration into other projects then for general use. The PHP scripts powering the forms is linked for others to use! (See http://www.bitanalysis.us/trans/formbuy.shtml)

There are security notes to both of the API posting pages clarifying this. (http://www.bitanalysis.us/trans/formbuy.shtml and http://www.bitanalysis.us/trans/formbuy.shtml)

Security concerns about BitAnalysis are also addressed right on the official Coinbase Exchange community forms (https://community.coinbase.com/t/a-free-gui-for-coinbase-exchange-api-raw-data-processing-http-www-bitanalysis-us/1671/2)

Feel free to take a look.

My suggestion is then you disable or hide those forms and leave the PHP code in its place instead.
It's too close to a phishing-style attack for my taste.

Still important to leave my comments here as a warning for other users.

My recommendation would be to turn into a JScript standalone/in-browser code, open-source, with no connection back to your servers if you'd like to see more people using it.

I have removed the HTML forms and left PHP example scripts only as suggested. It's not my intention to come off as a spamming or phishing. Thanks for the feedback.
