Five-Call Recipe

This page provides a complete, copy-paste ready workflow for AI agents to execute cross-chain transfers using just 5 API calls.

The Five Calls

GET /chains    → Discover available chains
GET /tokens    → Find tokens on those chains
GET /quote     → Get transfer quote with transaction data
[Execute]      → Sign and send the transaction
GET /status    → Poll until transfer completes

Call 1: Get Supported Chains

Discover which blockchains LI.FI supports.

}

What to Extract

Field	Purpose
`tokens[chainId][].address`	Token contract address (use in quote)
`tokens[chainId][].symbol`	Human-readable symbol
`tokens[chainId][].decimals`	For converting human amounts to smallest units
`tokens[chainId][].priceUSD`	Current USD price
`tokens[chainId][].coinKey`	Canonical token identifier across chains
`tokens[chainId][].tags`	Token categories (e.g., “stablecoin”)

You can use token symbols (e.g., USDC) instead of addresses in the quote request - the API resolves them automatically.

Call 3: Get a Quote

Request a quote for the transfer. This returns transaction data ready to execute.

Request

curl "https://li.quest/v1/quote?fromChain=1&toChain=42161&fromToken=USDC&toToken=USDC&fromAmount=10000000&fromAddress=0x552008c0f6870c2f77e5cC1d2eb9bdff03e30Ea0"

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Description
`fromChain`	Yes	Source chain ID (e.g., `1`)
`toChain`	Yes	Destination chain ID (e.g., `42161`)
`fromToken`	Yes	Source token address or symbol
`toToken`	Yes	Destination token address or symbol
`fromAmount`	Yes	Amount in smallest unit (e.g., `10000000` = 10 USDC)
`fromAddress`	Yes	Sender wallet address
`toAddress`	No	Recipient address (defaults to `fromAddress`)
`slippage`	No	Max slippage as decimal (default: `0.005` = 0.5%)

What to Extract

Field	Purpose
`tool`	Bridge/DEX used (needed for status check)
`estimate.toAmount`	Expected output amount
`estimate.toAmountMin`	Minimum guaranteed (slippage protected)
`estimate.approvalAddress`	Spender address for token approval (if ERC20)
`estimate.executionDuration`	Estimated time in seconds
`estimate.feeCosts`	Array of protocol fees
`estimate.gasCosts`	Array of gas costs
`includedSteps`	Detailed breakdown of each step in the transfer
`transactionRequest`	Ready-to-sign transaction object
`transactionId`	Unique identifier for tracking this transfer

Call 4: Execute the Transaction

Before executing, ensure the user has approved the token transfer if using an ERC20 token. Check if fromToken is native (ETH) or ERC20, and verify allowance.

Approval Check (if ERC20)

If fromToken.address is NOT 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000:

Call allowance(fromAddress, approvalAddress) on the token contract
If allowance < fromAmount, send an approve(approvalAddress, amount) transaction first

Execute Transaction

Sign and send the transactionRequest object from the quote response:

// The transactionRequest is ready to use
const tx = {
  to: quote.transactionRequest.to,
  data: quote.transactionRequest.data,
  value: quote.transactionRequest.value,
  gasLimit: quote.transactionRequest.gasLimit,
  chainId: quote.transactionRequest.chainId
};

// Sign and send with user's wallet
const txResponse = await wallet.sendTransaction(tx);
const txHash = txResponse.hash;

What to Save

txHash - Transaction hash for status polling (required)
fromChain - Source chain ID (optional, speeds up status check)
toChain - Destination chain ID (optional)
tool - From the quote response (optional)

Call 5: Poll Transfer Status

Check the status of the cross-chain transfer until it completes.

Request

curl "https://li.quest/v1/status?txHash=0xabc123...&bridge=stargate&fromChain=1&toChain=42161"

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Description
`txHash`	Yes	Transaction hash from step 4
`fromChain`	No	Source chain ID (recommended for faster response)
`toChain`	No	Destination chain ID
`bridge`	No	The `tool` value from the quote

Only txHash is required. The other parameters are optional but providing fromChain speeds up the request.

Status Values

Status	Action
`NOT_FOUND`	Transaction not indexed yet, keep polling
`PENDING`	Transfer in progress, keep polling
`DONE`	Transfer complete, check `substatus`
`FAILED`	Transfer failed, check error

Substatus Values (when DONE)

Substatus	Meaning
`COMPLETED`	Success - user received exact requested tokens
`PARTIAL`	Success - user received different token (full value)
`REFUNDED`	Failed - tokens returned to sender

Polling Strategy

const pollStatus = async (txHash, bridge, fromChain, toChain) => {
  const maxAttempts = 60;
  let attempt = 0;
  
  while (attempt < maxAttempts) {
    const response = await fetch(
      `https://li.quest/v1/status?txHash=${txHash}&bridge=${bridge}&fromChain=${fromChain}&toChain=${toChain}`
    );
    const status = await response.json();
    
    if (status.status === 'DONE' || status.status === 'FAILED') {
      return status;
    }
    
    // Wait 10 seconds before next poll
    await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 10000));
    attempt++;
  }
  
  throw new Error('Status polling timeout');
};
