  Accessing the Coinbase Pro API requires authentication through the use of API keys. These keys consist of a public key and a secret key. The public key is used to identify your application, while the secret key is used to sign requests and verify your identity. You can generate API keys from your Coinbase Pro account settings. Once you have your API keys, you need to include them in your requests. The 'CB-ACCESS-KEY' header should contain your public key, and the 'CB-ACCESS-SIGN' header should contain a signature created by signing a prehash string with your secret key. Additionally, the 'CB-ACCESS-TIMESTAMP' header should be included to ensure the request is within a certain time window. To summarize, the authentication methods required to access the Coinbase Pro API involve generating API keys, including them in your requests, and signing the requests with your secret key for verification.
