# Quote Methods

#### getQuote

Generates an OTC conversion quote between two assets. This is useful when your frontend needs to show the user an expected rate before they commit to a trade.

```
const quote = await rampClient.getQuote({
  participantCode: "B0100007",
  tradingPair: "USDT/USD",
  direction: 1,
  quantity: 10000,
});
```

The `direction` field controls which side of the pair you're pricing: use it to indicate whether you're buying or selling the base asset. The `quantity` is denominated in the base currency of the pair. The response will include the quoted rate and any applicable fees so you can render a confirmation screen before execution.
