Getting Rates with Altalix

We recommend displaying the indicative rates inside your own application prior to proceeding with payments however you can skip straight to payments if required. Below is details on how to get an indicative rate from the Altalix API

tip

To find out which symbol to use - have a look at all our supported currencies.

Getting A Rate

By sending a fixed amount of either sell_volume or buy_volume and a symbol allows retrieval of a rate

Sending the following JSON

{

"sell_volume": 10,

"symbol":"ETHEUR"

}

Returns:

{

"symbol": "ETHEUR",

"fixed_side": "SELL",

"buy_volume": 0.04777,

"sell_volume": 10,

"rate": 209.3,

"settlement_fee": 0

}

tip

As you know - JSON doesn't support a fixed number of decimal places - so feel free to use the display_decimals stored on the Currency to format these buy and sell volumes.
