Spot swap (meta-aggregator)

Execute a spot swap via the meta-aggregator. Omit `account` for quote-only. Include `account` to build full transaction calldata.

**Parameters**

| Name | In | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `chainId` | query | string | yes | Chain ID See the `ChainId` schema for the full set of supported chains. |
| `tokenIn` | query | string | yes | Input token address |
| `tokenOut` | query | string | yes | Output token address |
| `amount` | query | string | yes | Amount in wei |
| `slippage` | query | number | yes | Slippage tolerance (basis points) |
| `account` | query | string | no | Account address. Include to build transaction, omit for quote-only. |
| `receiver` | query | string | no | Receiver address |
| `tradeType` | query | 0 \| 1 | no | Trade type (0=EXACT_INPUT, 1=EXACT_OUTPUT) |
| `usePendleMintRedeem` | query | boolean | no | Use Pendle mint/redeem |

**Response `200`** — Spot swap quote or full build

| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `success` | true |  |
| `data` | object | Informational data (quotes, simulation results, etc.) |
| `data.currencyIn` | object | Input currency info |
| `data.currencyOut` | object | Output currency info |
| `data.quotes` | object[] | Candidate routes, best output first. Execute exactly one. |
| `data.quotes[].aggregator` | string |  |
| `data.quotes[].tradeInput` | number |  |
| `data.quotes[].tradeOutput` | number |  |
| `data.quotes[].tx` | object | An EVM transaction ready to sign and broadcast. Send `to`, `data` and `value` as-is; do not re-encode them. |
| `data.quotes[].tx.to` | string | Target contract address |
| `data.quotes[].tx.data` | string | Encoded calldata |
| `data.quotes[].tx.value` | string | ETH value to send with the transaction |
| `data.quotes[].tx.description` | string | Human-readable label. For `alternatives`, this is the aggregator name (e.g. "Paraswap"). For `transactions`, describes the setup action (e.g. "Switch e-mode to 1"). |
| `data.permissionTxns` | object[] | Approvals needed for this specific quote. Most integrators should use the deduplicated envelope-level `actions.permissions` instead. |
| `data.permissionTxns[].to` | string | Target contract address |
| `data.permissionTxns[].data` | string | Encoded calldata |
| `data.permissionTxns[].value` | string | ETH value |
| `data.permissionTxns[].description` | string | Human-readable description of the approval (e.g. "Approve borrow for AAVE_V3", "Approve ERC20") |
| `data.permissionTxns[].spender` | string | ERC-20 approve spender (x-chain permissions). Match it against the selected quote's `approvalTarget` — several bridges can share one spender, so do not match by description. |
| `actions` | object | Transaction calldata and approvals. Null for quote-only responses (no account provided). |
| `actions.transactions` | object[] | Pre-trade setup transactions (e.g. e-mode switch, collateral enable). Execute these before the main swap. Empty when no setup is needed. |
| `actions.transactions[].to` | string | Target contract address |
| `actions.transactions[].data` | string | Encoded calldata |
| `actions.transactions[].value` | string | ETH value to send with the transaction |
| `actions.transactions[].description` | string | Human-readable label. For `alternatives`, this is the aggregator name (e.g. "Paraswap"). For `transactions`, describes the setup action (e.g. "Switch e-mode to 1"). |
| `actions.alternatives` | object[] | DEX aggregator swap transactions sorted by best output (descending). Each entry's `description` is the aggregator name. The client should pick one to execute. Present on loop action endpoints. |
| `actions.alternatives[].to` | string | Target contract address |
| `actions.alternatives[].data` | string | Encoded calldata |
| `actions.alternatives[].value` | string | ETH value to send with the transaction |
| `actions.alternatives[].description` | string | Human-readable label. For `alternatives`, this is the aggregator name (e.g. "Paraswap"). For `transactions`, describes the setup action (e.g. "Switch e-mode to 1"). |
| `actions.permissions` | object[] | Approval/delegation transactions that must execute before both `transactions` and `alternatives`. Includes ERC20 allowances (targeting the composer contract) and lender borrow/withdrawal delegations (targeting the lending protocol contract directly). Filtered against on-chain state so only missing approvals are returned. Null when no approvals are needed. |
| `actions.permissions[].to` | string | Target contract address |
| `actions.permissions[].data` | string | Encoded calldata |
| `actions.permissions[].value` | string | ETH value |
| `actions.permissions[].description` | string | Human-readable description of the approval (e.g. "Approve borrow for AAVE_V3", "Approve ERC20") |
| `actions.permissions[].spender` | string | ERC-20 approve spender (x-chain permissions). Match it against the selected quote's `approvalTarget` — several bridges can share one spender, so do not match by description. |

**Response `400`** — Validation error

**Response `429`** — Rate limited. Unauthenticated callers share a per-IP budget; send an `x-api-key` header to lift it. Retry with exponential backoff.

**Response `500`** — Unexpected server error. Safe to retry with backoff.

**Response `502`** — An upstream data source or protocol origin failed (`error.code` is `ORIGIN_FAILED`). `error.details` carries the per-origin status. This is also what a missing or malformed required parameter currently returns, rather than a 400.
