Using Arken Finance Swap Engine API, you can find the best route to exchange assets and make the swap.\
\
Here are the step-by-step instructions on how to use Arken Swap Engine API:

1. Find the addresses of the tokens you want to swap. For example, swapping WETH -> USDT
   1. WETH: `0xC02aaA39b223FE8D0A0e5C4F27eAD9083C756Cc2`
   2. USDT: `0xdac17f958d2ee523a2206206994597c13d831ec7`
2. Check for allowance of Arken Approve contract to spend source asset using `/approve/allowance`
3. If necessary, give approval for Arken Approve contract to spend the source token using `/approve/transaction`
4. Monitor the best exchange route using `/swap/quote`
5. When you are ready to swap, use `/swap/swap` to generate the call data to perform the swap
