Swap API

Executable token swap calldata in one GET request. No API keys. No accounts. No SDK bloat.

https://api.swapapi.dev

Quick Start

Swap 1 ETH for USDC on Ethereum:

curl "https://api.swapapi.dev/v1/swap/1?\
tokenIn=0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE&\
tokenOut=0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48&\
amount=1000000000000000000&\
sender=0xd8dA6BF26964aF9D7eEd9e03E53415D37aA96045"

That's it. The response contains everything you need to sign and broadcast.

Executing Swaps

The API gives you an unsigned transaction. Sign it and broadcast:

With Foundry cast

# 1. Set swap parameters
CHAIN_ID=8453
TOKEN_IN=0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE
TOKEN_OUT=0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913
AMOUNT=1000000000000000000
SENDER=0x...        # Your address
PRIVATE_KEY=0x...   # Your private key
RPC_URL=https://mainnet.base.org

# 2. Get swap quote
RESPONSE=$(curl -s "https://api.swapapi.dev/v1/swap/$CHAIN_ID?\
tokenIn=$TOKEN_IN&\
tokenOut=$TOKEN_OUT&\
amount=$AMOUNT&\
sender=$SENDER")

# 3. Parse the tx fields
TX_TO=$(echo "$RESPONSE" | jq -r '.data.tx.to')
TX_DATA=$(echo "$RESPONSE" | jq -r '.data.tx.data')
TX_VALUE=$(echo "$RESPONSE" | jq -r '.data.tx.value')
TX_GAS=$(echo "$RESPONSE" | jq -r '.data.tx.gas')

# 4. Sign and send
cast send \
  --rpc-url "$RPC_URL" \
  --private-key "$PRIVATE_KEY" \
  "$TX_TO" \
  --value "$TX_VALUE" \
  --gas-limit "$TX_GAS" \
  --data "$TX_DATA"

With viem

import { createWalletClient, http } from 'viem'
import { privateKeyToAccount } from 'viem/accounts'
import { base } from 'viem/chains'

const account = privateKeyToAccount('0x...')

const client = createWalletClient({
  account,
  chain: base,
  transport: http()
})

const response = await fetch(
  'https://api.swapapi.dev/v1/swap/8453?' +
  'tokenIn=0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE&' +
  'tokenOut=0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913&' +
  'amount=1000000000000000000&' +
  'sender=' + account.address
)

const { data } = await response.json()

const hash = await client.sendTransaction({
  to: data.tx.to,
  data: data.tx.data,
  value: BigInt(data.tx.value),
  gas: BigInt(data.tx.gas)
})

await client.waitForTransactionReceipt({ hash })
