Crypto Quotes

Overview

Our crypto quote endpoint can be used to show your customers quotes across all service providers your API key is linked to.

You can specify which providers you want to return a quote for or return quotes for all providers you have access to. The API reference has additional details about the required parameters and response.

Supported crypto currencies

To receive a response from the API, one of the required parameters is the desired cryptocurrency. The list of supported cryptocurrencies can be found in the supported assets section.

Displaying quotes

When requesting a quote, the Meld API will only return back the quotes that have support for the specific quote request. For example, if the customer requests to purchase ETH with JPY vs SOL with USD, the list of service providers we return will be different, because each service provider supports a different set of countries and currencies.

Customer Score

Our customerScore parameter in the quote response object can be used to recommend a service provider to your customer. The customerScore is a number between 0-100 that represents how likely a customer will be to succeed in exchanging crypto through a given service provider based on past transaction performance. A customerScore is provided when a walletAddress is submitted with the quote, and the higher the score, the better the chance of future success.

Payment Method Consistency

When passing in a payment method to the quote endpoint, try to be as specific as possible for consistency. For example if you pass in APPLE_PAY as the payment method, all the quotes returned will be for APPLE_PAY. But if you pass in MOBILE_WALLET as the payment method, then you may get back some quotes for APPLE_PAY, some quotes for GOOGLE_PAY, and some quotes for SAMSUNG_PAY, as they are all subtypes of MOBILE_WALLET.
