Example request

A simple request to trade ETH.ETHto BTC.BTCmay omit the providerslist if you can manage them in the response, but should include the amount, the involved addresses and slippage settings.

The expiration time returned by the endpoint is an estimation. We recommend requesting a new quote at least every minute if the trade has not been executed yet.

Using the header x-api-keyin your /quoterequest automatically applies your affiliate addresses and fee values set up through our partners dashboard in the response parameters.
