OKX DEX Aggregator 🧭

OKX Wallet DEX API provides aggregated swap quotes and transaction data across multiple chains (EVM + non‑EVM).

Environment Variables

Variable	Description	Required
OKX_API_KEY	OKX API key	Yes
OKX_SECRET_KEY	OKX API secret	Yes
OKX_PASSPHRASE	OKX API passphrase	Yes

API Base URL

https://web3.okx.com

Authentication (Required Headers)

All requests must include the following headers:

• OK-ACCESS-KEY
• OK-ACCESS-TIMESTAMP (UTC ISO time)
• OK-ACCESS-PASSPHRASE
• OK-ACCESS-SIGN (Base64(HMAC_SHA256(prehash, secret)))

Prehash string:

TIMESTAMP + METHOD + REQUEST_PATH_WITH_QUERY + BODY

• For GET requests, BODY is empty and REQUEST_PATH_WITH_QUERY must include the query string.
• For POST requests, BODY is the raw JSON string.

Get Swap Transaction (Router Call Data)

Note: slippagePercent is required by the swap endpoint and is expressed as a decimal percentage (e.g., 0.01 = 1%).

Get Approval Transaction (EVM)

Safety Rules

1. ALWAYS display swap details before execution.
2. WARN if price impact is high or priceImpactProtectionPercent is exceeded.
3. CHECK token allowance (EVM) before swap execution.
4. VERIFY slippage settings (slippagePercent).
5. For approve responses, if to is null, use dexTokenApproveAddress for the chain.
6. NEVER execute without explicit user confirmation.
