# Integrator Quickstart

### Step 1: Get Your Integrator ID

1. Apply for an[ integrator ID](https://squidrouter.typeform.com/integrator-id?typeform-source=app.gitbook.com).
2. Check your email for the integrator ID.

Step 2: Make Your First Route Request

Replace `YOUR_INTEGRATOR_ID` in the following curl command with your actual integrator ID and replace `ADD_ADDRESS` with an address, then paste it into your terminal and hit enter:

```xml
curl -X POST 'https://v2.api.squidrouter.com/v2/route' \
-H 'x-integrator-id: YOUR_INTEGRATOR_ID' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{
  "fromAddress": "ADD_ADDRESS",
  "fromChain": "56",
  "fromToken": "0x55d398326f99059fF775485246999027B3197955",
  "fromAmount": "1000000000000000",
  "toChain": "42161",
  "toToken": "0xaf88d065e77c8cC2239327C5EDb3A432268e5831",
  "toAddress": "ADD_ADDRESS"
}'
```

**Congrats, you've submitted your first route request!**

#### Parameter Explanation:

* `fromAddress`: The address initiating the swap (replace with your address)
* `fromChain`: The source chain ID (56 is BNB Chain)
* `fromToken`: The token address to swap from (USDT on BNB Chain in this example)
* `fromAmount`: The amount to swap (in the smallest unit of the token)
* `toChain`: The destination chain ID (42161 is Arbitrum)
* `toToken`: The token address to swap to (USDC on Arbitrum in this example)
* `toAddress`: The address receiving the swapped tokens

### Step 3: Interpret the Response

If successful, you'll receive a JSON response with the optimal route details. Key fields include:

* `route.estimate.toAmount`: Estimated amount you'll receive
* `route.estimate.feeCosts`: Breakdown of fees
* `route.transactionRequest`: Data needed to execute the swap

### Build With Squid

Now that you've created a route request. Choose how you want to build with Squid.
