The 0x API is a collection of services and endpoints that can be run together or separately. In aggregate, the APIs provide interfaces to 0x liquidity. Everything can be run monolithically via yarn start and docker-compose up as described in Getting Started.

The API contains different services that serve a collection of HTTP or websocket endpoints and keep your order states in sync with the Ethereum state.

These are services that handle HTTP requests and responses.

The transaction watcher ensures that the data being served is present and up-to-date by keeping the database in sync with Ethereum. The endpoints above run without it, but would be providing degraded or non-functional service.

• Node.js > v16.x
• Yarn > v1.x
• Docker > 19.x

To get a local development version of 0x-api running:

1. Clone the repo.

2. Create an .env file and copy the content from the .env_example file. Defaults are defined in config.ts/config.js. The bash environment takes precedence over the .env file. If you run source .env, changes to the .env file will have no effect until you unset the colliding variables.

3. Install the dependencies:

   yarn

4. Build the project:

   yarn build

5. Run docker-compose up to run the other dependencies required for the API. This uses the local docker-compose.yml file.

6. Run the database migrations:

yarn db:migrate

7. Start the API

   yarn start

   For development:

   yarn dev

NOTE: This repo is undergoing a tooling change.

To add a new contract, you will need to add it to compiler.json.

You can generate the entire list by running the following:

find . -type f -name "*.sol" | grep -v foundry | grep -v "contracts/lib" | grep -v "node_modules"

To use ganache, use the .env file below:

CHAIN_ID=1337
ETHEREUM_RPC_URL=http://localhost:8545

Then run

$ docker-compose up
$ yarn dev

Install Foundry if needed.

Initialize git submodule:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Compile using forge

cd contracts
forge build

Run yarn test. It's really that easy :)

Tip: Test suites set up and teardown sandboxed environments, so using .only on it and describe statements will save lots of development time.

• yarn build - Build the code
• yarn test - Test the code
• yarn lint - Lint the code
• yarn start - Starts the API
• yarn dev - Starts the API in dev-mode
• yarn watch - Watch the source code and rebuild on change
• yarn prettier - Auto-format the code
• yarn release - Release a new version of the 0x-api

A Docker image is built and hosted by Dockerhub every time a change to the master branch occurs. A Docker image is built, pushed and tagged when a new version is released as well. Running this image will run 0x API as a monolith, with all its dependencies. You can run any of the services separately by overriding the Docker command with the service-specific command when running the container.

When versioning the API, we freeze the old version in a separate branch so that we can deploy patches, and continue to support the old version until it's officially deprecated. Be aware when contributing fixes that you may want to apply the fix to an older version too.

This is a list of endpoints supported by different versions of the API. If an endpoint is not on this list, it is by default pointed to the master branch.

Releases are triggered automatically by the release GitHub action. They can also be triggered manually by using yarn release, which requires a GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable.

This project uses TypeORM. It makes it easier for anyone to switch out the backing database used by this project. By default, this project uses a PostgreSQL database.

To add a migration, you may use the following command:

yarn db:migration:create -n myMigration
