# Get Rates

To determine what rate a coin pair would be swapped at,  make a **GET** request to the following endpoint.

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```url
https://api.localramp.co/v1/transaction/swap/rate?from_currency=
BTC&to_currency=USDT
```

{% endcode %}

The request takes `from_currency` and `to_currency` as query params. 

With the following header

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

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

```javascript
{
    "status": "success",
    "data": {
        "rate": {
            "info": "conversion rate from BTC -> USDT",
            "amount": "20452.7993"
        }
    }
}
```

{% hint style="warning" %}
Rates for swaps are not locked and the final value received might vary very slightly from the quote.
{% endhint %}
