# Get Supported currencies

Before initializing a buy transaction, you'll need to know the available fiat currencies and cryptocurrencies. Make a **GET** request to this endpoint

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```url
https://api.localramp.co/v1/transaction/buy/currencies
```

{% endcode %}

With the following header

```
x-auth-token: <PUBLIC_KEY>
```

If the API call is successful, LocalRamp returns the following response:

```

{% hint style="warning" %}
Note the decimal place for tokens. If a token has a  `max_decimal` value of 8, the API would accept decimal strings between 1 to 8 decimal places e.g "0.1", "2.345", "670.45628394"
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Coins are represented as "coin\_network". USDT on the Tron and Binance smart chain would be represented as "USDT\_TRX" and "USDT\_BSC" respectively.
{% endhint %}
