​
Overview

The rate endpoint provides price quotes for token swaps before executing a transaction. Use this to show users the expected output amount and price impact when they’re ready to swap.
This endpoint is for pre-swap quotes only. Do not use it as a free pricing or market data API. Excessive requests for non-swap purposes may result in rate limiting.

​
Use Cases

  • Pre-Swap Quotes: Get accurate pricing before executing a swap
  • Slippage Calculation: Show users the minimum guaranteed output
  • Price Impact Check: Validate that trade size is acceptable

​
SDK Examples

import { SolanaTracker } from 'solana-swap';

const tracker = new SolanaTracker('YOUR_API_KEY');

// Get rate quote before swap
const quote = await tracker.getRate({
  from: 'So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112', // SOL
  to: '4k3Dyjzvzp8eMZWUXbBCjEvwSkkk59S5iCNLY3QrkX6R',
  amount: 1,
  slippage: 10
});

console.log(`Expected: ${quote.amountOut} tokens`);
console.log(`Minimum: ${quote.minAmountOut} tokens`);
console.log(`Price impact: ${(quote.priceImpact * 100).toFixed(2)}%`);

​
Understanding Price Impact

Price impact shows how much your trade moves the market price:
  • < 1% - Excellent liquidity, proceed with confidence
  • 1-5% - Acceptable for most trades
  • > 5% - Consider splitting into smaller trades or increasing slippage

​
Validate Before Swap

// Check rate before executing swap
async function validateAndSwap(swapParams) {
  // Get quote first
  const quote = await tracker.getRate({
    from: swapParams.from,
    to: swapParams.to,
    amount: swapParams.amount,
    slippage: swapParams.slippage
  });
  
  // Check price impact
  if (quote.priceImpact > 0.05) {
    throw new Error('Price impact too high');
  }
  
  // Execute swap
  return await tracker.swap(swapParams);
}
