# Get RFQ Batch Best Quotes

`GET /communications/rfq_batches/{rfq_batch_id}/best_quotes`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://external-api.kalshi.com/trade-api/v2`
- URL: `https://external-api.kalshi.com/trade-api/v2/communications/rfq_batches/{rfq_batch_id}/best_quotes`
- Auth: API key in header `KALSHI-ACCESS-KEY` and API key in header `KALSHI-ACCESS-SIGNATURE` and API key in header `KALSHI-ACCESS-TIMESTAMP`

Get the best open bid on each side of every child of your RFQ batch, across makers. Accepting the batch fills at these prices. Makers are not identified. Only the batch creator can read the best quotes, and a batch that is no longer open has none.

## Path parameters

- `rfq_batch_id` string, required
