Swap Quote

Get a token swap quote based on an input or output value.

Below are the two methods to get a quote for a swap from a given route:

When providing HBAR in the path array, use the wrapped HBAR token ID (WHBAR).

For production environments, it's highly recommended to use a paid Mirror Node provider for commercial and high-traffic purposes. While Hedera's public mirror node offers free REST API and JSON API endpoints, they have global rate limits. These are best suited for development or low rate usage scenarios.

Get Output Quote from Exact Input Amount

Get the output amount from a given exact input amount and a swap route.

Description

bytes path

Solidity Interface & Function Body

//IQuoterV2.sol

/// @notice Returns the amount out received for a given exact input swap without executing the swap
/// @param path The path of the swap, i.e. each token pair and the pool fee
/// @param amountIn The amount of the first token to swap
/// @return amountOut The amount of the last token that would be received
/// @return sqrtPriceX96AfterList List of the sqrt price after the swap for each pool in the path

/// @return gasEstimate The estimate of the gas that the swap consumes

The data passed to the 'path' parameter follows this format: [token, fee, token, fee, token, ...], with each 'token' in the route being 20 bytes long and each 'fee' being 3 bytes long. Example, 0x0001F4 for a 0.05% fee.
