  - name: Coinbase Commerce Charges API
    description: Legacy REST API for creating and managing crypto payment charges. Merchants generate a charge object representing a payment request — customers pay to the charge address, and the API tracks status through the full lifecycle from created to confirmed or failed. Authentication uses the X-CC-Api-Key header.
