How to add token swaps to Spring Boot?

Grab WebFlux starter, define DTO records, wire SwapService with WebClient. GET api.swapapi.dev/v1/swap/{chainId}, validate response.status.

Does swapapi.dev require an API key?

Nope—fully free, no account. Supports 46 EVM chains, returns ready-to-broadcast calldata.

What if no swap route found?

API returns NoRoute in data.status—HTTP 200 still. Check programmatically; fields null out safely.
