Trade

The Nexus DEX provides three trading interfaces to accommodate different usage scenarios:

1. Two-Step Trading Process

For scenarios requiring quote confirmation before execution:

Step 1: Get Quote - Use /taker/api/swap/quote to obtain a price quote for your desired trading pair. This endpoint returns a quote_id along with detailed information about the exchange rate and amounts.

For streamlined trading without separate quote generation:

Quick Trade - Use /taker/api/swap/quick to get a quote and submit the trade in a single request. This endpoint combines both steps for faster execution when immediate trading is desired.
