API SaleSwap

Introduction

The SaleSwap API allows you to automate the receipt of information about the exchange rates of currencies, created orders, presented on the SaleSwap service, create orders and manage them using it.

To use the SaleSwap API, you need to get an API key and an API secret.

Getting the API key

To get an API Key and API Secret, follow these steps:

Sign in or Register in the SaleSwap
Go to the API management section
Click the "Generate" button and follow the instructions in the window that appears
Copy the API Key and API Secret and keep them in a safe place. Use these parameters for requests to the SaleSwap API

Request and example

The sent data must be in JSON format with UTF-8 encoding.

For successful API requests, all requests must contain a few mandatory headers:

The Content-Type header must be application/json; charset=UTF-8
The X-API-KEY header should contain your received API Key (YOUR_API_KEY)
The X-API-SIGN header must contain the signature GENERATED_SIGN. To get the signature you must use your API Secret (YOUR_API_SECRET) as the HMAC SHA256 operation key and the json data string as the value.

X-API-SIGN generation

Curl Python PHP


			[linux]$ echo -n 'DATA_JSON' | openssl dgst -sha256 -hmac "YOUR_API_SECRET"
			(stdin)= GENERATED_SIGN


			cURL -X POST \
			  -H "Accept: application/json" \

Request limits

The request limit per minute is 250 weight units.

The /api/v2/create request costs 50 weight units, all other requests cost 1 weight unit.

If the limit is exceeded, your token will be temporarily blocked. With each subsequent exceeding of the limit after unlocking, the blocking time will increase

Available currencies

POSThttps://ff.io/api/v2/ccies

Getting a list of currencies supported by the SaleSwap service, as well as data on their display and information about the availability for receiving and sending.

Parameters

There is no need to pass parameters for this request.

X-API-SIGN is generated by calling the HMAC SHA256 function from an empty string if no parameters are passed, or from an empty JSON object.

Exchange rate

POSThttps://ff.io/api/v2/price

Getting the exchange rate of a pair of currencies in the selected direction and type of rate.

ATTENTION! To get the exchange rates of all available currencies, you should use the export rate file available at the link https://ff.io/rates.xml

For this method, as well as for method /api/v2/create, it is possible to increase accrued earnings under the affiliate program using parameter afftax.

The final exchange rate when passing parameters afftax and refcode depends on whether your affiliate program code has been approved for earning for orders generated by the API and the base percentage (AFFBASE) set for your code, and will be calculated according to the formula:


total = FF - AFFB + afftax, if afftax < FF - AFFB
total = afftax x 2        , if FF - AFFB < afftax < FF
total = FF + afftax       , if afftax > FF

where FF is the base percentage of the service for the selected type of exchange rate (1% for a fixed rate and 0.5% for a floating rate);
AFFB is the base percentage of the service profit set for your affiliate program code, for the selected type of exchange rate (AFFBASE for a fixed rate and AFFBASE÷2 for a floating rate)

For clarity, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the table below with AFFBASE=0.4, where FFP = FF - AFFB:

FIXED RATE			FLOAT RATE
Total	FFP	afftax	Total	FFP	afftax
1.0	0.6	0.4	0.5	0.3	0.2
1.1	0.6	0.5	0.55	0.3	0.25
1.2	0.6	0.6	0.6	0.3	0.3
1.4	0.7	0.7	0.7	0.35	0.35
1.6	0.8	0.8	0.8	0.4	0.4
1.8	0.9	0.9	0.9	0.45	0.45
2.0	1.0	1.0	1.0	0.5	0.5
2.1	1.0	1.1	1.05	0.5	0.55
2.2	1.0	1.2	1.1	0.5	0.6

If your affiliate code did not have a base API earnings percentage set, then the final exchange rate will be calculated as:


FF + afftax

where FF is the base percentage of the service for the selected type of exchange rate (1% for a fixed rate and 0.5% for a floating rate).

Earnings will be credited to your account if the affiliate program code was passed in the refcode parameter and this code belongs to your account. Otherwise, the afftax and refcode parameters will be ignored.

Parameters

type	true	string	Order type
fromCcy	true	string	Code of the currency the client wants to send

If the afftax parameter is not set and this affiliate program code does not participate in earning via the API, passing this parameter will not affect anything. It is possible to transfer only affiliate program codes that were received in the same account in which the API key used for this request was received
