SDK for swap.coffee DEX aggregator

​
Installation

For JavaScript/TypeScript please use the SDK as stated below:

npm install @swap-coffee/sdk

For any other languages, you can integrate with our Rest API directly.

​
Concepts

Here are some basic concepts you need to know to work with our SDK:

  • Asset: an asset is a token on a blockchain. It can be a native token (like TON on TON blockchain) or a token on a smart contract, named jetton (like USDT on TON blockchain). Each asset has a unique address on the blockchain.
  • Route: a route is a set of paths.
  • Path: a path is a list of tokens (or, more specifically, of liquidity pools) that can be swapped one to another. For example, if you want to swap TON to USDT, you can do it directly (TON -> USDT) or you can do it in two steps (TON -> CES -> USDT). The first path has one swap, the second path has two swaps.
  • Price impact: when you perform a swap, the price of the token can change. The price impact depends on the amount you want to swap and the liquidity of the token. If you swap a small amount, the price impact will be low. If you swap a large amount, the price impact will be high.
  • Price slippage: the price of a token can change over time. When you swap tokens, you can set a slippage tolerance. If the price of the token changes more than the slippage tolerance, the transaction will fail.
  • Transaction: a transaction is a set of messages that are sent to the blockchain. Each message can be a token transfer, a contract call, etc. When you swap tokens, you need to build a transaction that will swap the tokens for you.

​
API Limitations

Our API is public, which means it allows unauthorized access. However, this access has its limitations:

  • input_token and output_token whilst building routes must be different, so you are not allowed to find cycles. Moreover, none of the returned routes will contain cycles within them (so no paths like token1 -> token2 -> token1 -> token3 will be returned).
  • We believe that the average load of 1 request per second per IP is more than acceptable. If you generate more, the API will return a 429 Too Many Requests error.
  • No product-specific features, such as in-depth analysis of your users trades, available.

If you are considering integration with our product, building an arbitrage service or generating a higher level of load, please contact us via Telegram @swap.coffee DEV Chat.
