Authentication

The LI.FI Intents API has two access levels: open integrator endpoints and authenticated solver endpoints.

Integrators

Integrator endpoints are fully open. No API key, no registration, no rate limits. You can start building immediately.

Endpoints

Method	Path	Description
`POST`	`/quote/request`	Request a quote for an intent
`GET`	`/api/v1/integrator/quote/request`	V1 integrator-friendly quote endpoint
`POST`	`/orders/submit`	Submit an order to the solver network
`GET`	`/orders`	List orders with optional filters
`GET`	`/orders/status`	Get order status
`GET`	`/chains/supported`	Get the list of supported chains
`GET`	`/routes`	Get supported routes (chain/asset pairs)

Solvers (API Key Required)

Solver endpoints require an API key passed via the api-key header. These endpoints are used for submitting quotes, managing solver accounts, and tracking reputation.

Method	Path	Description
`POST`	`/quotes/submit`	Submit or update up to 200K solver quotes
`GET`	`/solver-api/quotes`	Get solver’s uploaded quote inventory
`GET`	`/solver-api/solver/identities`	Get solver identities for reputation tracking
`POST`	`/solver-api/account/register`	Register a solver account
`POST`	`/solver-api/account/unregister`	Unregister a solver account

Authenticating Requests

Pass your API key in the api-key header:

curl -X POST 'https://order.li.fi/quotes/submit' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'api-key: YOUR_SOLVER_API_KEY' \
  -d '{ ... }'

Getting an API Key

Environment	Solver UI	API Base URL
Production	intents.li.fi	`https://order.li.fi`
Testnet	devintents.li.fi	`https://order-dev.li.fi`

We recommend starting on testnet to validate your integration before going live.

Environments

Environment	Base URL	Use
Production	`https://order.li.fi`	Live orders with real assets
Development	`https://order-dev.li.fi`	Testnet orders (Sepolia, Base Sepolia, etc.)

Interactive API documentation is available at /docs on both environments.
