Returns a real-time exchange rate, fee breakdown, and a quote_id valid for 5 minutes. Pass the quote_id to POST /wallet/payout or POST /wallet/deposits/new to execute the transaction at the quoted rate.
Requires an Idempotency-Key header. Rate-limited to 30 requests per minute. This endpoint both prices the transaction AND generates a binding quote_id — treat it as quote creation, not just a rate lookup.

Response fields

Quotes expire after 5 minutes and cannot be reused. Generating a quote and letting it expire before executing wastes a rate lock and a request toward your rate limit.
