GhostSwap, the no-KYC crypto swap platform, launched a public swap-rate API this week that doesn't require an API key. Developers can send a simple POST request to /v1/quotes and get back the best rate, plus min and max swap amounts, for over 1,600 cryptocurrency pairs. The move strips away account creation, email verification, and credential management — cutting integration time from days to minutes, the company says.
How the API works
The endpoint expects three parameters: from, to, and amountFrom. It returns the best available rate across GhostSwap's liquidity sources, along with the swap limits. The API covers major assets like BTC, ETH, and SOL, and supports multiple EVM-compatible chains and layer-2 networks. CORS is enabled, so developers can call it directly from a browser without any backend proxy.
Who it's for
GhostSwap built the API for browser-based builders, trading bots, and price-display or comparison sites. The no-key approach means a frontend dev can wire up live rates in an afternoon. No storing secrets, no rotating credentials, no worrying about leaked keys.
The philosophy behind it
The company treats pricing data as a public utility. That aligns with its broader product: a no-KYC crypto swap API and trading experience. By removing the friction of getting an API key, GhostSwap is betting that developers will integrate faster and build more freely. Whether that drives adoption or just makes life easier for existing users, the timing is good — the market is hungry for simple, permissionless infrastructure.
The API is live now. No sign-up, no rate-limit announcement yet. Just a POST request and a JSON response.
