# getQuote

## Description

The `getQuote` function returns an object containing the contract address and quotes for a given token swap between two chains, based on the source and destination chain, source and destination tokens, and the amount to be swapped. 

If the request is unsuccessful, it returns an error message.

## Parameters

## Example Request and Response

### Prerequisites

Before making requests with Volary SDK, you must have it installed.

You can install Volary SDK using either **`npm`** or **`yarn`**. Use the following commands to install Volary SDK:

```jsx
npm install @nest25/xy-finance-lib
OR
yarn add @nest25/xy-finance-lib
```

### Request

Here is an example of how to make a `getQuote` request using the Volary SDK:

````javascript
// import Nest SDK library
const { xySwap } = require('@nest25/xy-finance-lib');

// create xySwap instance
const swap = new xySwap();

async function main() {
  // get quote
  const response = await swap.getQuote(
    'klaytn',
    'klaytn',
    '0xCF87f94fD8F6B6f0b479771F10dF672f99eADa63',
    '0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE',
    '10',
  );
  console.log(response);
}
// run main function
main();

```
````

### Response

```sh
{
      contractAddress: '0x52075Fd1fF67f03beABCb5AcdA9679b02d98cA37',
      quote: {
        sourceChainSwaps: { dexNames: [Array], fromToken: [Object], toToken: [Object] },
        crossChainSwap: null,
        destChainSwaps: null,
        toTokenAmount: '0.8281407505663061'
      }
    }
```

## Use Cases

* **Token swapping:** The `getQuote` function can be used by decentralized exchanges to get a quote for a cross-chain token swap before initiating a trade, ensuring the accuracy of the transaction.
* **Portfolio management:** The function can be used to help portfolio managers determine the expected outcome of a token swap before making the trade.
* **Arbitrage opportunities:** The function can be used to identify potential arbitrage opportunities by comparing the estimated swap amount with the current market price of the tokens on both chains.
