# POST /quote

> Get a fee estimate and expected output before the user confirms. AML/OFAC screening runs at this step.

`POST https://api.trustware.io/api/v1/routes/quote`

Returns a fee estimate, expected output amount, slippage, and estimated completion time for a proposed route. Call this before `POST /route` to show the user a confirmation screen. AML/OFAC screening runs synchronously — if the source or destination address is flagged, this call returns an error and no funds move.

| ------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `fromChain`   | Yes      | Source chain ID as a string (e.g. `"43114"` for Avalanche).                                                                                                                                                  |
| `toChain`     | Yes      | Destination chain ID as a string (e.g. `"137"` for Polygon). Use `"stellar"` for Stellar.                                                                                                                    |
| `fromToken`   | Yes      | Source token contract address. Use `"0xeeee...eeee"` for the native token.                                                                                                                                   |
| `toToken`     | Yes      | Destination token contract address.                                                                                                                                                                          |
| `fromAmount`  | Yes      | Amount in the smallest unit of the source token (wei for EVM).                                                                                                                                               |
| `fromAddress` | Yes      | Sender wallet address. AML screening runs against this address.                                                                                                                                              |
| `toAddress`   | Yes      | Recipient wallet address.                                                                                                                                                                                    |
| `slippage`    | No       | Slippage tolerance as a percentage. Defaults to `1`. Squid-provided routes enforce a hard maximum of `3` (routes above this threshold are rejected by Squid); LiFi-provided routes do not impose this limit. |

## AML behavior

If Trustware's AML/OFAC screening flags the source or destination address, this endpoint returns an error. No funds move. The specific reason is never exposed in the error response — your application should handle the error generically and show a neutral message to the user.

<Warning>
  Always call `/quote` before `/route`. The AML check runs here. If you skip the quote step and call `/route` directly, you bear the risk of initiating a transaction that would have been rejected at the quote stage.
