Crypto: Coinbase volume buy/sell designation incorrect #170

Result The trades have buy & sell reversed (where normally in conditions, 1 = Sell and 2 = Buy). Other crypto sources are showing trades with the correct buy vs sell designation.

The first result, for example, shows a sell (condition = 1), whereas should be a buy. This flipped side is consistently wrong throughout the data. Suggest that someone misinterpreted whether the buy or sell was from the maker or taker side.

Expected Result The buy and sells should be flipped.

Additional context I have data from other sources showing that the trade buy / sell designation is reversed in Polygon data. Other exchange sources, such as Kraken, Bitfinex, etc are fine in the Polygon data.

The example you provided is from Bitfinex, which you said is fine at the bottom. Is this just an example of the response?

I meant to provide a coinbase example, my bad. The problem is indeed with coinbase data.
