Official Python SDK available with automatic authentication handling. Comprehensive sandbox environment with test funds for risk-free algorithm testing. Rate limiting with headers (CB-RATELIMIT-REMAINING) and 1-second cache on public endpoints. WebSocket recommended for real-time data. Postman collections available.
