Swaps
Overview
The general workflow for crypto trades will look like the following:
- Pull the market price for the crypto your end user is looking to swap from our API.
- Give the end user the ability to confirm a trade after looking at the market price.
- Call the Fortress API to initiate a
Swap
- Monitor the webhooks sent for a change in the
status
of a trade. - Once completed, update your front end with the new balance for the end user.
Testnet Tokens
When testing trades in sandbox, please keep amounts low (greater than $15 but less than $30) as testnet tokens are in limited supply. Once finished testing, please "sell" the tokens so we can maintain a steady supply for all integrators in sandbox. - can be deleted as trat as real tokens FLRNS and POL
Lets review each step a bit more.
1. Pull the market price
GET /api/trust/v1/crypto-currency/crypto-swap-price/{CryptoAssetFrom}/{CryptoAssetTo}
{
"price": {
"buy": 1903.76613566,
"sell": 1866.53214000
}
}
Note: The API can return zero values for buy or sell market prices. Zero dollar value trades ($0.00) will not be executed.
2. Allow the end user to confirm that they want the trade after presenting them the market price.
3. Initiate a swap with the trade
endpoint using the API
POST /api/trust/v1/trades
//Sample Request
{
"accountId": "A3CA08AB-3058-4C3C-81E7-51DA24B171F",
"type": "swap",
"from": {
"asset": "usdc",
"network": "solanaMainnent"
"amount": 1000
},
"to": {
"asset": "usdc",
"network": "mainnet"
},
"comment": "Insert comment"
}
All in one
The
trades
endpoint facilitates buys, sells, and swaps by designating thefrom
andto
fields.
4. Monitor webhooks
An integrator will receive one webhook when the buy/sell crypto transaction is moved to the Processing
status and another webhook when the settlement process is completed.
5. Once a trade is completed, update your front end with the new balance
GET /custodial-accounts/{custodialAccountId}/balances
//Sample Response
{
"data": [
{
"assetType": "cryptoCurrency",
"assetFiatType": "eth",
"network": "mainnet",
"disbursable": .001,
"locked": 0,
"pending": 0,
"total": .001
}
]
}
