Connecting a Web3 Wallet and Executing a Transaction through Rubic API

This page explains how to connect a Web3 wallet, retrieve token quotes, approve tokens, and execute a transaction using Rubic API, with examples using ethers.js, web3.js, and viem

Connecting a Web3 Wallet

To interact with the blockchain, we first need to connect a wallet. Here are examples using ethers.js, web3.js, and viem.

import { ethers } from "ethers";

async function connectWallet() {
    if (window.ethereum) {
        const provider = new ethers.providers.Web3Provider(window.ethereum);
        await provider.send("eth_requestAccounts", []);
        const signer = provider.getSigner();
        const account = await signer.getAddress();
        return account;
    } else {
        console.error("Ethereum provider not found. Please install MetaMask.");
    }
}

import Web3 from "web3";

async function connectWallet() {
    if (window.ethereum) {
        const web3 = new Web3(window.ethereum);
        await window.ethereum.enable();
        const [account] = await web3.eth.getAccounts();
        return account;
    } else {
        console.error("Ethereum provider not found. Please install MetaMask.");
    }
}

import { createWalletClient, custom } from 'viem';
import { mainnet } from 'viem/chains';

async function connectWallet() {
    if (window.ethereum) {
        const walletClient = createWalletClient({
            chain: mainnet,
            transport: custom(window.ethereum),
        });
        const [account] = await walletClient.requestAddresses();
        return account;
    } else {
        console.error("Ethereum provider not found. Please install MetaMask.");
    }
}

Retrieving Token Quotes

Now that the wallet is connected, we can request token quotes from Rubic API.

Endpoint: POST https://api-v2.rubic.exchange/api/routes/quoteBest

async function quoteBest() {
    const response = await fetch("https://api-v2.rubic.exchange/api/quoteBest", {
        method: "POST",
        headers: {
            "Content-Type": "application/json",
        },
        body: {
            "srcTokenAddress": "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000",
            "srcTokenAmount": "1.05",
            "srcTokenBlockchain": "ETH"
            "dstTokenAddress": "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000",
            "dstTokenBlockchain": "POLYGON",
            "referrer": "rubic.exchange"
          }
    });
    const data = await response.json();
    const { estimate, transaction, id } = data;
    console.log(estimate);
    // {
    //     This is an estimated amount you will get after the swap.
    //     "destinationTokenAmount": "8248.453781656313882666",
    //     "destinationTokenMinAmount": "8001.000168206624466186",
    //
    //     "destinationUsdAmount": 2637.13,
    //     "destinationUsdMinAmount": 2558.02,
    //
    //     "destinationWeiAmount": "8248453781656313882666",
    //     "destinationWeiMinAmount": "8001000168206624466186",
    //
    //     "durationInMinutes": 5,
    //     "priceImpact": 0.14,
    //     "slippage": 0.03
    // }
    console.log(transaction.approvalAddress);
    // This is the address you need to give approve to spend tokens.
    // See next section for details.
    // 0x3335733c454805df6a77f825f266e136FB4a3333
    console.log(id);
    // This is the swap ID. It will be needed later for swap request.
    return data;
}

Approving Tokens for Transaction

Before sending a transaction, you need to approve the token. Approve allows a user to authorize a contract or application to manage a specified amount of their tokens, which is necessary for secure interaction with decentralized applications such as exchanges or DeFi protocols. This gives users control over how many tokens can be used, providing an additional layer of security.

Below are examples for different libraries.

import { ethers } from "ethers";
import { TOKEN_ABI } from "./TokenABI"; // replace with the correct ABI

async function approveToken(
    // Token address
    tokenAddress,
    // Contract to give approve to.
    // Put here transaction.approvalAddress obtained on previous step
    spenderAddress,
    // Amount of tokens to approve.
    // For security reasons it's better to set approve
    // amount equal to from amount
    amount,
    // Signer object, obtained while ethers.js initializing
    signer 
) {
    const tokenContract = new ethers.Contract(tokenAddress, TOKEN_ABI, signer);
    const tx = await tokenContract.approve(spenderAddress, amount);
    await tx.wait();
    console.log("Approval successful:", tx.hash);
}

import Web3 from "web3";
import { TOKEN_ABI } from "./TokenABI"; // replace with the correct ABI

async function approveToken(
    // Token addres
    tokenAddress,
    // Contract to give approve to.
    // Put here transaction.approvalAddress obtained on previous step
    spenderAddress,
    // Amount of tokens to approve.
    // For security reasons it's better to set approve
    // amount equal to from amount
    amount,
    // Wallet address
    account
) {
    const web3 = new Web3(window.ethereum);
    const tokenContract = new web3.eth.Contract(TOKEN_ABI, tokenAddress);
    const tx = await tokenContract.methods.approve(spenderAddress, amount).send({ from: account });
    console.log("Approval successful:", tx.transactionHash);
}

import { createWalletClient, encodeFunctionData } from 'viem';
import { TOKEN_ABI } from './TokenABI'; // replace with the correct ABI

async function approveToken(
    // Token addr
    tokenAddress,
    // Contract to give approve to.
    // Put here transaction.approvalAddress obtained on previous step
    spenderAddress,
    // Amount of tokens to approve.
    // For security reasons it's better to set approve
    // amount equal to from amount
    amount,
    // Wallet client object, obtained while viem initializing
    walletClient,
    // Wallet addres
    account
) {
    const txHash = await walletClient.writeContract({
        address: tokenAddress, 
        abi: TOKEN_ABI,
        functionName: 'approve',
        args: [spenderAddress, amount]
    });
    console.log("Approval successful:", txHash);
}

Retrieving Data to Execute a Transaction

To perform a token swap through Rubic API, we need to get the necessary data for the transaction.

Endpoint: POST https://api-v2.rubic.exchange/api/routes/swap

async function getQuoteAll() {
    const response = await fetch("https://api-v2.rubic.exchange/api/quoteBest", {
        method: "POST",
        headers: {
            "Content-Type": "application/json",
        },
        body: {
            "srcTokenAddress": "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000",
            "srcTokenAmount": "1.05",
            "srcTokenBlockchain": "ETH"
            "dstTokenAddress": "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000",
            "dstTokenBlockchain": "POLYGON",
            "referrer": "rubic.exchange",
            "fromAddress": "USER WALLET ADDRESS",
            "id": "ID FROM QUOTE STEP"
          }
    });
    const result = await response.json();
    const { transaction } = result;
    console.log(transaction);
    // {
    //     "approvalAddress": "0x3335733c454805df6a77f825f266e136FB4a3333",
    //     "data": "0xe1fcde8e0000000...00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000",
    //     "to": "0x3335733c454805df6a77f825f266e136FB4a3333",
    //     "value": "1050785817564594203"
    // },
    return result;
}

Executing a Transaction with the API Response Data

Using the data obtained from the Rubic API, you can now execute the transaction.

async function executeSwap(
    // Transaction object, obtained on previous step from Rubic API
    transaction,
    // Signer object, obtained while ethers.js initializing
    signer
) {
    const tx = await signer.sendTransaction({
        to: transaction.to,
        data: transaction.data,
        value: transaction.value,
    });
    await tx.wait();
    console.log("Transaction executed:", tx.hash);
}

async function executeSwap(
    // Transaction object, obtained on previous step from Rubic API
    transaction,
    // Wallt address
    account
) {
    const web3 = new Web3(window.ethereum);
    const tx = await web3.eth.sendTransaction({
        from: account,
        to: transaction.to,
        data: transaction.data,
        value: transaction.value,
    });
    console.log("Transaction executed:", tx.transactionHash);
}

async function executeSwap(
    // Transaction object, obtained on previous step from Rubic AP
    transaction,
    // Wallet client object, obtained while viem initializing
    walletClient,
    // Wallt addres
    account
) {
    const txHash = await walletClient.sendTransaction({
        account,
        to: transaction.to,
        data: transaction.data,
        value: transaction.value,
    });
    console.log("Transaction executed:", txHash);
}

Track your transaction

Now you can track your transaction status

Endpoint: GET https://api-v2.rubic.exchange/api/routes/status

async function getStatus(
    // Your transaction hash, otained while executing transaction
    hash
) {
    const response = await fetch(`https://api-v2.rubic.exchange/api/routes/status?srcTxHash=${hash}`);
    const data = await response.json();
    const { status, destinationTxHash } = data;
    console.log(status);
    // Current TX status can be one of
    // 'PENDING' | 'LONG_PENDING' | 'REVERT' |
    // 'REVERTED' | 'FAIL' | 'READY_TO_CLAIM' |
    // 'SUCCESS' | 'NOT_FOUND';
    console.log(status);
    // shows the hash on the target network if the transaction
    // is successfully completed
    return status;
}
