Servers implement the Quote and Order APIs using JSON-RPC over HTTP. To be reachable for RFQs, servers run at public endpoints with CORS enabled. To become discoverable, server URLs are added to the Indexer smart contract, which is queried by prospective counterparties.

Introduction

AirSwap liquidity providers are makers, generally online and quoting, with takers on the other side of each trade. At the lower protocol level, where the software used by makers and takers interacts with Ethereum, there are signers, who set and cryptographically sign terms (an order), and senders who submit those terms for settlement on the Swap contract. Within the AirSwap system, a Server is always the signer and a taker is always the sender.

• Orders are signed and executable trades and Quotes are indicative prices. Servers should provide both.

• Intent is a signal to takers that a server is trading specific tokens, including contact information (locator), without pricing.

• Locators take the form of hostname[:port][/path] with a max length is 32 characters. If no scheme is provided, https:// is implied.

Getting Started

• ​Deploy a Serverless Maker Bot on AirSwap using Vercel and the AirSwap CLI.

• ​AirSwap Vercel Example includes an example server to get started.

To run the Vercel example

Vercel is an integrated devops platform and CLI.

$ git clone git@github.com:airswap/airswap-vercel-example.git
$ cd airswap-vercel-example
$ airswap-vercel-example yarn
$ airswap-vercel-example yarn global add vercel
$ airswap-vercel-example echo "ETHEREUM_ACCOUNT=[A PRIVATE KEY]" > .env
$ airswap-vercel-example vercel dev
Vercel CLI 20.1.2 dev (beta) — https://vercel.com/feedback
> Ready! Available at http://localhost:3000

Now that the example is running, you can debug with the CLI. This example is for convenience, but any web hosting platform will work.

Quote and Order APIs

Servers implement the Quote and Order APIs. The following responses would be based on your internal pricing strategies.

Quote API

• getMaxQuote requests a Quote. You set the signer and sender amounts.

• getSignerSideQuote requests a Quote. You set the signer amount.

• getSenderSideQuote requests a Quote. You set the sender amount.

Order API

• getSignerSideOrder is a request for an Order. You set the signer amount.

• getSenderSideOrder is a request for an Order. You set the sender amount.

Example

The following is an example of a getMaxQuote request.

Request from a Client

POST / HTTP/1.1
Content-Length: 185
Content-Type: application/json
​
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":123,"method":"getMaxQuote","params":{"senderToken": "0xc778417e063141139fce010982780140aa0cd5ab","signerToken":"0x27054b13b1b798b345b591a4d22e6562d47ea75a"}}

Your Response

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
Access-Control-Allow-Headers: *
Access-Control-Allow-Methods: POST, OPTIONS
Content-Length: 262
Content-Type: application/json
​
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":123,"result":{"signer":{"kind":"0x36372b07","token":"0x27054b13b1b798b345b591a4d22e6562d47ea75a","amount":"10000","id":"0"},"sender":{"kind":"0x36372b07","token":"0xc778417e063141139fce010982780140aa0cd5ab","amount":"100000000","id":"0"}}}

Error Handling

A JSON-RPC request may result in an error, matched by its request id:

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 123,
  "error": { "code": -33605, "message": "Rate limit exceeded" }
}

The following are error codes in the JSON-RPC specification:

• -32700 Parse error

• -32600 Invalid Request

• -32601 Method not found

• -32602 Invalid params

• -32603 Internal error

• -32000 to -32099 (Reserved for implementation-defined server-errors)

The following are AirSwap specific errors:

• -33600 Cannot provide the requested quote or order

• -33601 Not trading the requested signerToken senderToken pair

• -33602 The specified senderAmount or signerAmount is too low

• -33603 The specified senderAmount or signerAmount is too high

• -33604 Invalid request parameters

• -33605 Rate limit exceeded

• -33700 to -33799 (Reserved for implementation specific trading errors)
