Get Price & Calldata: /swap

The /swap endpoint allows you to make one API call to get both the priceRoute object as well as the Transaction Object.

Limitations

• Lower rate limits

• It doesn't check sufficient allowances and balances

• It doesn't return the gas field in txParams, thus the transaction should be simulated locally

• It automatically excludes RFQ-based DEXs such as AugustusRFQ & ParaSwapLimitOrders.

Get Price Route

GET https://api.paraswap.io/swap

This endpoint gets the optimal price and price route required to swap from one token to another.

Query Parameters

Name	Type	Description
srcToken*	string	Source Token Address. Instead Token Symbol could be used for tokens listed in the /tokens endpoint.

destToken*	string	Destination Token Address. Instead Token Symbol could be used for tokens listed in the /tokens endpoint.
amount*	string	srcToken amount (in case of SELL) or destToken amount (in case of BUY). The amount should be in WEI/Raw units (eg. 1WBTC -> 100000000)
side	string	SELL or BUY. Default: SELL.
network	string	Network ID. (Mainnet - 1, Optimism - 10, BSC - 56, Polygon - 137, Fantom - 250, zkEVM - 1101, Base - 8453, Arbitrum - 42161, Avalanche - 43114). Default: 1.

partner	string	Partner string.
partnerFeeBps	string	If provided it is used together with partnerAddress. Should be in basis points percentage. Look at slippage parameter description for understanding better. Eg: 200 (for 2% fee percent) *Note: Fees have to be claimed from the Fee Claimer contract unless isSurplusToUser or isDirectFeeTransfer are used
partnerAddress	string	Address that will be entitled to claim fees or surplus. *Note: Fees have to be claimed from the Fee Claimer contract unless isSurplusToUser or isDirectFeeTransfer are used
slippage	integer	Allowed slippage percentage represented in basis points. Eg: for 2.5% slippage, set the value to 2.5 * 100 = 250; for 10% = 1000. Slippage could be passed instead of destAmount when side=SELL or srcAmount when side=BUY. Min: 0; Max: 10000
destDecimals*	integer	Destination Token Decimals. (Can be omitted if Token Symbol is used in destToken).

receiver	String	Receiver's Wallet address. (Can be omitted if swapping tokens from and to same account)
srcTokenTransferFee	string	If the source token is a tax token, you should specify the tax amount in BPS. *For example: for a token with a 5% tax, you should set it to 500 as [(500/10000)*100=5%] **Note: not all DEXs and contract methods support trading tax tokens, so we will filter those that don't.

srcTokenDexTransferFee	string	If the source token is a tax token, you should specify the tax amount in BPS. Some tokens only charge tax when swapped in/out DEXs and not on ordinary transfers. *For example: for a token with a 5% tax, you should set it to 500 as [(500/10000)*100=5%] **Note: not all DEXs and contract methods support trading tax tokens, so we will filter those that don't.
destTokenDexTransferFee	string	If the destination token is a tax token, you should specify the tax amount in BPS. Some tokens only charge tax when swapped in/out DEXs, not on ordinary transfers. *For example: for a token with a 5% tax, you should set it to 500 as [(500/10000)*100=5%] **Note: not all DEXs and contract methods support trading tax tokens, so we will filter those that don't.

400 Price Error

{
  "error": "computePrice Error

🧙Though srcDecimals and destDecimals are optional parameters it is highly recommended to add them while doing the pricing. This will allow you to get prices for all the tokens, including the ones which are also not listed by ParaSwap.

Swaps fees and Swap&Transfer (where the receiver is not the same as the sender) don't work when swapOnUniswap, swapOnUniswapFork, swapOnZeroXv2, and swapOnZeroXv4 etc. contract methods are used.

If you would like to disable these methods you can do so by setting a whitelist for methods where Swap&Transfer is supportedincludeContractMethods=simpleSwap,multiSwap,megaSwap

Most common error messages

The following is a list of the most common error messages of the /swap endpoint. Most are self-explanatory and can be self-solved, but feel free to contact ParaSwap Support using the chat in the bottom right corner of this page.

• Missing response from pricing API - failed to get a response from pricing API

• Can not receive price route - failed to receive price route from the pricing API response
