# Developer Guide

The Gator SDK provides easy programmatic access to decentralized exchanges on NEAR.

### 1. Compute Swap Routes

A typical usage is to find the best swap route. This is what you can access on the gator.fi web page:

```typescript
import { Gator } from '@gator/sdk';
const gator = new Gator();

const routes gator.computeRoutes({
    input: 'wrap.near',
    output: 'aurora.near',
    amount: '3'
});
const txs = gator.generateTransactions(routes[0]);

// Transactions are ready to be signed and sent to blockchain
await wallet.signAndSendTransactions({ transactions: txs });
```

### 2. Find Best Bid/Offer - simple arbitrage bot

The Gator SDK also allows you to find the best bid/offer across decentralized exchanges on NEAR. The functions `computeBestBid` and `computeBestOffer` does the necessarily conversion so the numbers fit into a traditional base/quote pair paradigm. For example, we can use the Gator SDK to implement a simple arbitrage strategy:

```typescript
while (true) {
    const base = 'aurora.near';
    const quote = 'wrap.near';
    
    // Aggregate bid / ask levels within 10 bips
    const bestBid = gator.computeBestBid({ base, quote }, 0.001);
    const bestOffer = gator.computeBestOffer({ base, quote }, 0.001);

    if (bestBid['price'] < bestOffer['price']) {
        const amount = Math.min(bestBid['amount'], bestOffer['amount'])
        await wallet.signAndSendTransactions({
            transactions: [
                ...gator.generateTransactions({ ...bestBid, amount }),
                ...gator.generateTransactions({ ...bestOffer, amount }),
            ]
        })
    }

    await new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, 5000));
}
```
