About Open API & SDK

What is the OpenOcean API & SDK?

OpenOcean is a smart DEX aggregator that integrates 16 public chains across major decentralized markets to offer a seamless, efficient DeFi trading experience. With our intelligent routing algorithm, we optimize trading for maximum returns while keeping it free.

Why is the Open API & SDK the best choice?

1. Currently, OpenOcean aggregates over 120 liquidity sources from 16 different blockchains. Our API guarantees an efficient exchange rate via our contract due to the middleware and the contract-level routing optimization features.
2. Our API, SDK and the infrastructure is getting optimized frequently which leads to improved performance. If you are an inexperienced user or want to build a brand-new app, the SDK might be the fastest way to build up your project in a quick and standardized way. While for sophisticated or enterprise developers, using our API is a better choice as it facilitates flexible and specific requirements. Furthermore, we can provide enterprise-level tech support and customized services for any project that would like to access our services.
3. Our documentation is guiding you straightforward on how to integrate our API and/or SDK into your project. On top of this, we always help our partners within the integration process and are able to quickly customize various parameters if that is needed. Feedback and suggestions are highly appreciated to continuously improve our services.

What can the OpenOcean API and SDK help with?

The OpenOcean API and SDK targets a wide range of different types of users and projects. We recommend the OpenOcean API for users who already have developed an UI that does not require an extra wallet integration with the following features:

1. Quoting Prices
2. Getting Token Listed
3. Creating Wallets
4. Getting Token Balances
5. Swapping
6. Searching TX Details Via Hash
7. Transaction Hash Searching
8. Checking The Status Of A TX
9. Transferring Balances
10. Looking Up The Gas Prices
11. Building The Swap Parameters

The OpenOcean SDK package includes the wallets that are currently supported by OpenOcean and is offering support for all integrated DEXes. It also includes all the features that the API provides, along with the wallet connect functionality. By deploying these modules, your project benefits from a complete integration of various wallets without worrying about complex documentation. This wallet support function assures that the users are not forced to apply their private keys during the swap process ( i.e. The API requires the private key of the user ).

TIP

All the executed API functions are direct interactions between the client and the blockchain, that is why they require the user's private keys. We strongly recommend that projects deploying those features by themselves, rather than simply calling them.

How do we achieve that?

Combining multiple DEXes and integrating OpenOcean's core algorithm for best routing price detection into our middleware and the contracts, we can quote prices from more than 120 DEXes that OpenOcean has integrated and find the best price for our users. These are the core values we are providing within our OpenOcean API and the SDK. Furthermore, we offer a large selection of swap functions that can meet the needs of both individual and enterprise developers.
