Guide to Integrate Socket API

This guide covers the Socket Swap V3 endpoints:

GET /v3/swap/quote — fetch executable transaction routes, deposit-address routes, and CEX withdraw routes
GET /v3/swap/status — poll the status of a submitted route
GET /v3/swap/supported-chains — list supported chains
GET /v3/swap/tokens/list — list supported tokens
GET /v3/swap/tokens/search — search tokens by address, name, or symbol

Use the production base URL:

https://dedicated-backend.socket.tech

The examples below use the dedicated endpoint with x-api-key and affiliate headers. For testing without credentials, use https://public-backend.socket.tech. See Get API Access for the full breakdown.

Endpoint Selection

Use /v3/swap/quote with userOps=tx for OpenRouter direct routes, which support:

Same-chain swaps when originChainId === destinationChainId
Cross-chain bridge routes when originChainId !== destinationChainId

For deposit-address flows, use userOps=deposit. See the Deposit Addresses Guide.

Common Token and Amount Rules

inputAmount is a string in the smallest token unit for EVM-style chains.
The native token address is 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE.
EVM addresses are normalized to lowercase by the API.
receiverAddress must be valid for the destination chain.
userAddress is required for OpenRouter transaction routes.
Same-chain quotes reject identical inputToken and outputToken.

Important route fields:

Field	Description
`quoteId`	Stable route ID. Use it for status polling. For OpenRouter tx routes this is the on-chain request hash.
`expiresAt`	Unix timestamp after which the quote should be discarded.
`output.amount`	Expected destination output amount after applicable fees.
`output.minAmountOut`	Minimum acceptable destination output amount.
`suggestedSlippage`	Suggested slippage percent returned by the API.
`routeTags`	Ranking labels: `SUGGESTED`, `FASTEST`, `MAX_OUTPUT`.
`routeDetails.bridgeDetails`	Bridge leg metadata, including provider ID, token addresses, amounts, and slippage.
`routeDetails.dexDetails`	Same-chain or origin-swap DEX leg metadata when present.
`routeDetails.feeDetails`	Integrator fee metadata when a fee applies. Otherwise `null`.
`approval`	Present for ERC20 inputs. Approve this spender before sending `txData`.
`txData.kind`	Transaction type. OpenRouter EVM routes use `evm_tx`.
`txData.object`	Transaction payload to send from `userAddress`.
`gasFee.gasToken`	Native gas token metadata for the source chain.
`statusCheck`	Suggested polling endpoint and cadence.

Step 2: Check Approval

If the approval field is present in the route response, approve the approval.spenderAddress for approval.amount of approval.tokenAddress before submitting the transaction.

OpenRouter EVM routes usually ask the user to approve the AllowanceHolder contract, not the final bridge or DEX. The to address in txData is typically the AllowanceHolder.

Step 3: Submit the Transaction

Submit txData.object as a transaction from userAddress.

// Example using ethers.js / viem
const tx = await signer.sendTransaction({
  to: route.txData.object.to,
  data: route.txData.object.data,
  value: BigInt(route.txData.object.value),
});

Do not rebuild calldata client-side. Always use the returned txData.object exactly as provided.

Step 4: Poll Status

Request

GET /v3/swap/status?quoteId=<quoteId>

Parameter	Required	Description
`quoteId`	Yes	Quote ID returned by `/v3/swap/quote`.
`includeQuoteDetails`	No	Set to `true` to include stored quote row details in the response.

The v3 status endpoint looks up execution state by quoteId.

Status response

{
  "quoteId": "0x...",
  "userOp": "tx",
  "status": "IN_PROGRESS",
  "statusCode": "PENDING",
  "origin": {
    "chainId": 42161,
    "status": "COMPLETED",
    "txHash": "0x...",
    "userAddress": "0xf39fd6e51aad88f6f4ce6ab8827279cfffb92266"
  },
  "destination": {
    "chainId": 10,
    "status": "PENDING",
    "txHash": null,
    "receiverAddress": "0xf39fd6e51aad88f6f4ce6ab8827279cfffb92266"
  },
  "routeDetails": {
    "name": "Across",
    "logoURI": "https://media.socket.tech/bridges/across.png"
  },
  "refund": null
}

Status values:

Status	Meaning
`PENDING`	Quote or route has not started.
`IN_PROGRESS`	Source transaction is known, destination completion is pending.
`COMPLETED`	Route is complete.
`FAILED`	Route failed.
`EXPIRED`	Quote or execution window expired.
`REFUNDED`	Funds were refunded.

Full Execution Flow

Request quotes from /v3/swap/quote with userOps=tx.
Select a route. Prefer routeTags or compare output.valueInUsd, estimatedTime, and gasFee.
Check quote freshness with expiresAt — do not send expired quotes.
If approval is present, approve approval.spenderAddress for approval.amount.
Submit the route transaction from userAddress using txData.object.
Poll status with the returned quoteId.
Poll until the route reaches a terminal status.

Fees

Integrator fees are set with feeBps and feeTakerAddress. Rules:

feeBps and feeTakerAddress must be provided together.
feeBps must be greater than 0 and at most 10000.
For direct DEX routes, fees can be taken from input or output depending on the OpenRouter fee resolution.
For direct bridge no-swap routes, fees are forced to the input side.
The client-facing output amount is already net of applicable fees.

See the Charging Fees Guide for detailed implementation steps.

Validation and Error Notes

Common 400 errors:

Missing userOps for /v3/swap/quote.
Missing originChainId for userOps=tx.
Missing userAddress for userOps=tx.
Missing refundAddress for userOps=deposit or userOps=cex-withdraw.
Missing exchange for userOps=cex-withdraw.
Invalid slippage.
Invalid or unsupported chain ID.
destinationPayload without destinationGasLimit, or the reverse.
feeBps without feeTakerAddress, or the reverse.
Provider listed in both include and exclude filters.

Quote responses can return an empty route list when providers fail to quote, the route is unsupported, or filters exclude all providers.

Implementation Notes

OpenRouter EVM routes usually ask the user to approve the AllowanceHolder contract, not the final bridge or DEX.
Use quoteId exactly as returned — it is used for status lookup and source transaction recording.
Do not rebuild calldata client-side. Use the returned txData.
For same-chain swaps, routeDetails.dexDetails is populated when route metadata is available.
For cross-chain routes, routeDetails.bridgeDetails describes the bridge leg. If there is an origin swap leg, routeDetails.dexDetails may also be present.
