Quickstart - Direkt

1. Get your API key

Sign up at the Direkt dashboard and copy your API key from Settings → API Keys.

2. Create a quote

curl -X POST http://159.223.110.114:3000/api/quote \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{

}'

curl --location 'https://godirekt.xyz/api/quote' \
  --header 'x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \

3. Show the address to your user

Show send.depositAddress, send.amount, send.token.symbol, and send.chain.name. The user sends from their wallet — no redirect needed.

4. Poll for status

Poll every 5–10 seconds until status is COMPLETED.
