Upgrading From APIv1 To APIv2
More Performant Routing And Encoding
Overview
Following feedback on the initial APIv1, KyberSwap has implemented a more performant APIv2 which improves the response time for getting a route via offloading encoding requirements to a separate post method. With this upgrade, APIv2 brings the following improvements:
Reduced latency which enables gas estimation calculations to be more accurate
Reduces the risk of stale encoded data which could potentially lead to failed transactions on the UI
Functional separation which enables more precise data handling and compute
Swap flow: V1 vs V2
As part of the APIv2 upgrade, querying of the route data and the encoded data has been separated into their own respective calls. This stands in contrast to APIv1 whereby both the route and encoded data are returned in a single GET query.
Due to this functional separation, applications have more flexibility when handling route refreshes prior to user confirming the swap route. For example, if rates need to be refreshed, the application will just have to query the APIv2 GET endpoint which will return just the route summary. As the encoded data does not have to be processed at this stage, responses are much faster and redundant encodings are avoided.
Moreover, given the reduced latency for each call in APIv2, this reduces the likelihood that the returned data will be stale hence mitigating transaction failure risks. Routes are secured (i.e. "locked-in") via the APIv2 POST which returns the encoded data to be sent to the MetaAggregationRouterV2 contract.
APIv1 swap flow
Route and encoded data returned in single GET call.
APIv2 swap flow
Route summary returned in GET response and encoded data returned in POST response.
Field mappings
As part of this upgrade, some of the parameters have also been modified to make it more intuitive. The table below maps the relevant changes for avoidance of doubt.
