Coinbase – Exchange API

The API specifies how to poll once and use the streaming data feed to keep an accurate state of the order book on the client side.

So it's not really a polled API, for serious clients.

Thanks for the correction. You're right.

If one of these guys provided a more traditional fix/itch/ouch setup, they might get more traction with traders who are already active in other currencies/products.

Indeed. The WebSocket API is described here: https://docs.exchange.coinbase.com/#websocket-feed
