Our API does not require any authentication to be used. However, if your application requires higher rate limits you can request an API key via our business partnerships team.
Once you have your key you can authenticate all your requests by attaching it in the x-lifi-api-key header:
curl --location 'https://li.quest/v1/quote?fromChain=100&fromAmount=1000000&fromToken=0x4ecaba5870353805a9f068101a40e0f32ed605c6&fromAddress=0x552008c0f6870c2f77e5cC1d2eb9bdff03e30Ea0&toChain=137&toToken=0x2791bca1f2de4661ed88a30c99a7a9449aa84174&slippage=0.03' \
--header 'x-lifi-api-key: YOUR_CUSTOM_KEY'
To test if your authentication works, you can use our helper endpoint:
curl --location 'https://li.quest/v1/keys/test' --header 'x-lifi-api-key: YOUR_CUSTOM_KEY'
It will return a 401 Unauthorized error in case your key is invalid, or your username in case it's valid.
