# Get the best route for an order

`GET /v1/quote`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://qmax.exchange/api`
- URL: `https://qmax.exchange/api/v1/quote`
- Auth: none declared

Prices a whole order across the QX order book and the QSwap pool and splits it where that pays more. Use side=sell to find what a holding would fetch and side=buy for what a purchase would cost: no wallet is needed, and a big order's price impact is already in the total. The `summary` field says the result in words (total, average, where each part goes, what the split is worth); `route` has each leg's exact figures and the limits to sign against.

## Query parameters

- `side` 'buy' | 'sell', required
- `asset` string, required
- `qty` integer, required
- `slippageBps` integer
- `split` boolean

## Response `200`

Route quote, with a plain-language `summary`

## Other responses

- `400`: Invalid input
- `404`: Unknown asset
