- Integration Methods
- 1. Trading API (Recommended)
- Best for: Frontends, backends, scripts. Handles routing optimization automatically.
- Base URL
- :
- https://trade-api.gateway.uniswap.org/v1
- Authentication
- :
- x-api-key:
- header required
- Getting an API Key
-
- The Trading API requires an API key for authentication. Visit the
- Uniswap Developer Portal
- to register and obtain your API key. Keys are typically available for immediate use after registration. Include it as an
- x-api-key
- header in all API requests.
- Required Headers
- — Include these in ALL Trading API requests:
- Content-Type: application/json
- x-api-key:
- x-universal-router-version: 2.0
- 3-Step Flow
- :
- 1. POST /check_approval -> Check if token is approved
- 2. POST /quote -> Get executable quote with routing
- 3. POST /swap -> Get transaction to sign and submit
- See the
- Trading API Reference
- section below for complete documentation.
- 2. Universal Router SDK
- Best for: Direct control over transaction construction.
- Installation
- :
- npm
- install
- @uniswap/universal-router-sdk @uniswap/sdk-core @uniswap/v3-sdk
- Key Pattern
- :
- import
- {
- SwapRouter
- }
- from
- '@uniswap/universal-router-sdk'
- ;
- const
- {
- calldata
- ,
- value
- }
- =
- SwapRouter
- .
- swapCallParameters
- (
- trade
- ,
- options
- )
- ;
- See the
- Universal Router Reference
- section below for complete documentation.
- 3. Smart Contract Integration
- Best for: On-chain integrations, DeFi composability.
- Interface
-
- Call
- execute()
- on Universal Router with encoded commands.
- See the
- Universal Router Reference
- section below for command encoding.
- Trading API Reference
- Step 1: Check Token Approval
- POST /check_approval
- Request
- :
- {
- "walletAddress"
- :
- "0x..."
- ,
- "token"
- :
- "0x..."
- ,
- "amount"
- :
- "1000000000"
- ,
- "chainId"
- :
- 1
- }
- Response
- :

- "data"
- :
- "0x..."
- ,
- "value"
- :
- "0"
- ,
- "chainId"
- :
- 1
- }
- }
- If
- approval
- is
- null
- , token is already approved.
- Step 2: Get Quote
- POST /quote
- Request
- :
- {
- "swapper"
- :
- "0x..."
- ,
- "tokenIn"
- :
- "0x..."
- ,

- :
- "EXACT_INPUT"
- ,
- "slippageTolerance"
- :
- 0.5
- ,
- "routingPreference"
- :
- "BEST_PRICE"
- }
- Note
- :
- tokenInChainId
- and
- tokenOutChainId
- must be
- strings
- (e.g.,
- "1"
- ), not numbers.
- Key Parameters
- :
- Parameter
- Description
- type
- EXACT_INPUT
- or
- EXACT_OUTPUT

- BEST_PRICE
- ,
- FASTEST
- ,
- CLASSIC
- autoSlippage
- true
- to auto-calculate slippage (overrides
- slippageTolerance
- )
- urgency
- normal
- or
- fast
- — affects UniswapX auction timing
- Response
- — the shape differs by routing type.
- BEST_PRICE
- routing on Ethereum mainnet typically returns UniswapX (DUTCH_V2), not CLASSIC.

- }
- }
- }
- UniswapX output amount
-
- Use
- quote.orderInfo.outputs[0].startAmount
- for the best-case fill amount. The
- endAmount
- is the floor after full auction decay. There is no
- quote.output.amount
- on UniswapX responses — accessing it will throw at runtime.
- Display tip
-
- For CLASSIC routes, use
- gasFeeUSD
- (a string with the USD value) for gas cost display. Do
- not
- manually convert
- gasFee
- (wei) using a hardcoded ETH price — this leads to wildly inaccurate estimates (e.g., ~$87 instead of ~$0.01). UniswapX routes are gasless for the swapper.
- See
- QuoteResponse TypeScript Types
- for compile-time type safety across routing types.
- Step 3: Execute Swap
- POST /swap
- Request
- - Spread the quote response directly into the body:
- // CORRECT: Spread the quote response, strip null fields
- const
- quoteResponse
- =
- await
- fetchQuote
- (
- params
- )
- ;
- // Always strip permitData/permitTransaction — handle them explicitly by routing type
- const
- {
- permitData
- ,
- permitTransaction
- ,
- ...
- cleanQuote
- }
- =
- quoteResponse
- ;
- const
- swapRequest
- :
- Record
- <
- string
- ,
- unknown
- >
- =
- {
- ...
- cleanQuote
- }
- ;
- const
- isUniswapX
- =
- quoteResponse
- .
- routing
- ===
- 'DUTCH_V2'
- ||
- quoteResponse
- .
- routing
- ===
- 'DUTCH_V3'
- ||
- quoteResponse
- .
- routing
- ===
- 'PRIORITY'
- ;
- if
- (
- isUniswapX
- )
- {
- // UniswapX: signature only — permitData must NOT go to /swap
- if
- (
- permit2Signature
- )
- swapRequest
- .
- signature
- =
- permit2Signature
- ;
- }
- else
- {
- // CLASSIC: both signature and permitData, or neither
- if
- (
- permit2Signature
- &&
- permitData
- &&
- typeof
- permitData
- ===
- 'object'
- )
- {
- swapRequest
- .
- signature
- =
- permit2Signature
- ;
- swapRequest
- .
- permitData
- =
- permitData
- ;
- }
- }
- Critical
-
- Do NOT wrap the quote in
- {quote: quoteResponse}
- . The API expects the quote response fields spread into the request body.
- Permit2 Rules
- (CLASSIC routes):
- signature
- and
- permitData
- must BOTH be present, or BOTH be absent
- Never set
- permitData: null
- — omit the field entirely
- The quote response often includes
- permitData: null
- — strip this before sending
- UniswapX Routes
- (DUTCH_V2/V3/PRIORITY):
- permitData
- is used locally to sign the order but must be
- excluded
- from the
- /swap
- body. See
- Signing vs. Submission Flow
- .
- Response
- (ready-to-sign transaction):
- {
- "swap"
- :
- {
- "to"
- :
- "0x..."
- ,
- "from"
- :
- "0x..."
- ,
- "data"
- :
- "0x..."
- ,
- "value"
- :
- "0"
- ,
- "chainId"
- :
- 1
- ,
- "gasLimit"
- :
- "250000"
- }
- }
- Response Validation
- - Always validate before broadcasting:
- function
- validateSwapResponse
- (
- response
- :
- SwapResponse
- )
- :
- void
- {
- if
- (
- !
- response
- .
- swap
- ?.
- data
- ||
- response
- .
- swap
- .
- data
- ===
- ''
- ||
- response
- .
- swap
- .
- data
- ===
- '0x'
- )
- {
- throw
- new
- Error
- (
- 'swap.data is empty - quote may have expired'
- )
- ;
- }
- if
- (
- !
- isAddress
- (
- response
- .
- swap
- .
- to
- )
- ||
- !
- isAddress
- (

- UniswapX Auction Types
- below.
- Critical Implementation Notes
- These are common pitfalls discovered during real-world Trading API integration.
- Follow these rules to avoid on-chain reverts and API errors.
- 1. Swap Request Body Format
- The
- /swap
- endpoint expects the quote response
- spread into the request body
- , not wrapped in a
- quote
- field.
- // WRONG - causes "quote does not match any of the allowed types"
- const
- badRequest
- =
- {
- quote
- :
- quoteResponse
- ,
- // Don't wrap!
- signature
- :
- '0x...'
- ,
- }
- ;
- // CORRECT - spread the quote response
- const
- goodRequest
- =
- {
- ...
- quoteResponse
- ,
- signature
- :
- '0x...'
- ,
- // Only if using Permit2
- }
- ;
- 2. Null Field Handling
- The API rejects
- permitData: null
- . Additionally,
- permitData
- handling differs by routing type — see
- Signing vs. Submission Flow
- for the full explanation.
- function
- prepareSwapRequest
- (
- quoteResponse
- :
- QuoteResponse
- ,
- signature
- ?
- :
- string
- )
- :
- object
- {
- // Always strip permitData and permitTransaction from the spread — handle them explicitly
- const
- {
- permitData
- ,
- permitTransaction
- ,
- ...
- cleanQuote
- }
- =
- quoteResponse
- ;
- const
- request
- :
- Record
- <
- string
- ,
- unknown
- >
- =
- {
- ...
- cleanQuote
- }
- ;
- // UniswapX (DUTCH_V2, DUTCH_V3, PRIORITY): permitData is for LOCAL signing only.
- // The /swap body must NOT include permitData — the order is encoded in
- // quote.encodedOrder. Only the signature is needed.
- const
- isUniswapX
- =
- quoteResponse
- .
- routing
- ===
- 'DUTCH_V2'
- ||
- quoteResponse
- .
- routing
- ===
- 'DUTCH_V3'
- ||
- quoteResponse
- .
- routing
- ===
- 'PRIORITY'
- ;
- if
- (
- isUniswapX
- )
- {
- if
- (
- signature
- )
- request
- .
- signature
- =
- signature
- ;
- }
- else
- {
- // CLASSIC: both signature and permitData required together, or both omitted.
- // The Universal Router contract needs permitData to verify the Permit2
- // authorization on-chain.
- if
- (
- signature
- &&
- permitData
- &&
- typeof
- permitData
- ===
- 'object'
- )
- {
- request
- .
- signature
- =
- signature
- ;
- request
- .
- permitData
- =
- permitData
- ;
- }
- }
- return
- request
- ;
- }
- 3. Permit2 Field Rules
- The rules for
- signature
- and
- permitData
- in the
- /swap
- request body depend on the routing type:
- CLASSIC routes
- :
- Scenario
- signature
- permitData
- Standard swap (no Permit2)
- Omit
- Omit
- Permit2 swap
- Required
- Required
- Invalid
- Present
- Missing
- Invalid
- Missing
- Present
- Invalid (API error)
- Any
- null
- UniswapX routes (DUTCH_V2/V3/PRIORITY)
- :
- Scenario
- signature
- permitData
- UniswapX order
- Required
- Omit
- (do not send)
- Invalid
- Any
- Present (schema rejects)
- 4. Pre-Broadcast Validation
- Always validate the swap response before sending to the blockchain:
- import
- {
- isAddress
- ,
- isHex
- }
- from
- 'viem'
- ;
- function
- validateSwapBeforeBroadcast
- (
- swap
- :
- SwapTransaction
- )
- :
- void
- {
- // 1. data must be non-empty hex
- if
- (
- !
- swap
- .
- data
- ||
- swap
- .
- data
- ===
- ''
- ||
- swap
- .
- data
- ===
- '0x'
- )
- {
- throw
- new
- Error
- (
- 'swap.data is empty - this will revert on-chain. Re-fetch the quote.'
- )
- ;
- }
- if
- (
- !
- isHex
- (
- swap
- .
- data
- )
- )
- {
- throw
- new
- Error
- (
- 'swap.data is not valid hex'
- )
- ;
- }
- // 2. Addresses must be valid
- if
- (
- !
- isAddress
- (
- swap
- .
- to
- )
- )
- {
- throw
- new
- Error
- (
- 'swap.to is not a valid address'
- )
- ;
- }
- if
- (
- !
- isAddress
- (
- swap
- .
- from
- )
- )
- {
- throw
- new
- Error
- (
- 'swap.from is not a valid address'
- )
- ;
- }
- // 3. Value must be present (can be "0" for non-ETH swaps)
- if
- (
- swap
- .
- value
- ===
- undefined
- ||
- swap
- .
- value
- ===
- null
- )
- {
- throw
- new
- Error
- (
- 'swap.value is missing'
- )
- ;
- }
- }
- 5. Browser Environment Setup
- When using viem/wagmi in browser environments, you need Node.js polyfills:
- Install buffer polyfill
- :
- npm
- install
- buffer
- Add to your entry file (before other imports)
- :
- // src/main.tsx or src/index.tsx
- import
- {
- Buffer
- }
- from
- 'buffer'
- ;
- globalThis
- .
- Buffer
- =
- Buffer
- ;
- // Then your other imports
- import
- React
- from
- 'react'
- ;
- import
- {
- WagmiProvider
- }
- from
- 'wagmi'
- ;
- // ...
- Vite configuration
- (
- vite.config.ts
- ):
- export
- default
- defineConfig
- (
- {
- define
- :
- {
- global
- :
- 'globalThis'
- ,
- }
- ,
- optimizeDeps
- :
- {
- include
- :
- [
- 'buffer'
- ]
- ,
- }
- ,
- resolve
- :
- {
- alias
- :
- {
- buffer
- :
- 'buffer'
- ,
- }
- ,
- }
- ,
- }
- )
- ;
- Without this setup, you'll see:
- ReferenceError: Buffer is not defined
- CORS Proxy Configuration
- The Trading API does not support browser CORS preflight requests —
- OPTIONS
- requests return
- 415 Unsupported Media Type
- . Direct
- fetch()
- calls from a browser will always fail. You
- must
- proxy API requests through your own server or dev server.
- Vite dev proxy
- (merge into the same
- vite.config.ts
- used for the Buffer polyfill above):
- export
- default
- defineConfig
- (
- {
- server
- :
- {
- proxy
- :
- {
- '/api/uniswap'
- :
- {
- target
- :
- 'https://trade-api.gateway.uniswap.org/v1'
- ,
- changeOrigin
- :
- true
- ,
- rewrite
- :
- (
- path
- )
- =>
- path
- .
- replace
- (
- /
- ^
- \/
- api
- \/
- uniswap
- /
- ,
- ''
- )
- ,
- }
- ,
- }
- ,
- }
- ,
- }
- )
- ;
- Then use
- /api/uniswap/quote
- instead of the full URL in your frontend code.
- Vercel production proxy
- (
- vercel.json
- ):
- {
- "rewrites"
- :
- [
- {
- "source"
- :
- "/api/uniswap/:path*"
- ,
- "destination"
- :
- "https://trade-api.gateway.uniswap.org/v1/:path*"
- }
- ]
- }
- Cloudflare Pages
- (
- public/_redirects
- ):
- /api/uniswap/* https://trade-api.gateway.uniswap.org/v1/:splat 200
- Next.js
- (
- next.config.js
- ):
- module
- .
- exports
- =
- {
- async
- rewrites
- (
- )
- {
- return
- [
- {
- source
- :
- '/api/uniswap/:path*'
- ,
- destination
- :
- 'https://trade-api.gateway.uniswap.org/v1/:path*'
- ,
- }
- ,
- ]
- ;
- }
- ,
- }
- ;
- Without a proxy, you'll see:
- 415 Unsupported Media Type
- on preflight or CORS errors in the browser console.
- 6. Quote Freshness
- Quotes expire quickly (typically 30 seconds)
- Always re-fetch if the user takes time to review
- Use the
- deadline
- parameter to prevent stale execution
- If
- /swap
- returns empty
- data
- , the quote likely expired
- 7. QuoteResponse TypeScript Types
- The quote response shape differs by routing type. Use a discriminated union on the
- routing
- field to get compile-time safety instead of casting to
- any
- :
- type
- ClassicQuoteResponse
- =
- {
- routing
- :
- 'CLASSIC'
- |
- 'WRAP'
- |
- 'UNWRAP'
- ;
- quote
- :
- {

- :
- {

- }
- ;

- }
- ;
- slippage

- Permit2 Integration
- Permit2 enables signature-based token approvals instead of on-chain approve() calls.
- Approval Target: Permit2 vs Legacy (Direct to Router)
- There are two approval paths. Choose based on your integration type:
- Approach
- Approve To
- Per-Swap Auth
- Best For
- Permit2
- (recommended)
- Permit2 contract
- EIP-712 signature
- Frontends with user interaction
- Legacy
- (direct approve)
- Universal Router
- None (pre-approved)
- Backend services, smart accounts
- Permit2 flow
- (frontend with user signing):
- User approves token to Permit2 contract (one-time)
- Each swap: user signs an EIP-712 permit message
- Universal Router uses the signature to transfer tokens via Permit2
- Legacy flow
- (backend services, ERC-4337 smart accounts):
- Approve token directly to the Universal Router address (one-time)
- Each swap: no additional authorization needed
- Simpler for automated systems that cannot sign EIP-712 messages
- Use the Trading API's
- /check_approval
- endpoint — it returns the correct approval target based on the routing type.
- How It Works
- User approves Permit2 contract once (infinite approval)
- For each swap, user signs a message authorizing the transfer
- Universal Router uses signature to transfer tokens via Permit2
- Two Modes
- Mode
- Description
- SignatureTransfer
- One-time signature, no on-chain state
- AllowanceTransfer
- Time-limited allowance with on-chain state

- UniswapX Auction Types
- UniswapX routes swaps through off-chain fillers who compete to execute orders at better prices than on-chain AMMs. The auction mechanism varies by chain.
- Exclusive Dutch Auction (Ethereum)
- Starts with an RFQ (Request for Quote) phase where permissioned quoters compete
- Winning quoter receives
- exclusive filling rights
- for a set period
- If the exclusive filler doesn't execute, falls back to an open Dutch auction where the price decays each block
- Best for large swaps where MEV protection matters most
- Trading API routing type
- :
- DUTCH_V2
- or
- DUTCH_V3
- Open Dutch Auction (Arbitrum)
- Direct open auction without an RFQ phase
- Fillers compete on-chain through a descending price mechanism
- Leverages Arbitrum's fast 0.25-second block times for rapid price discovery
- The
- Unimind algorithm
- sets auction parameters based on historical pair performance
- Trading API routing type
- :
- DUTCH_V2
- Priority Gas Auction (Base, Unichain)
- Fillers bid by submitting transactions with varying
- priority fees
- at a target block
- Highest priority fee wins the right to fill the order
- Exploits OP Stack's priority ordering mechanism
- Effective on chains where block builders respect priority ordering
- Trading API routing type
- :
- PRIORITY
- Key Properties (All Auction Types)
- Gasless for users
- — fillers pay gas fees, incorporated into final pricing
- No cost on failure
- — if a swap doesn't fill, the user pays nothing
- MEV protection
- — auction mechanics prevent frontrunning and sandwich attacks
- UniswapX V2 is currently supported on Ethereum (1), Arbitrum (42161), Base (8453), and Unichain (130)
- For more detail, see the
- UniswapX Auction Types documentation

- UniswapX: Signing vs. Submission Flow
- The
- permitData
- field in the quote response serves different purposes depending on the routing type. Conflating the two causes
- RequestValidationError
- on
- /swap
- .
- CLASSIC flow
- —
- permitData
- goes to the server:
- /quote
- returns
- permitData
- (EIP-712 typed data for the Permit2 allowance)
- User signs
- permitData
- locally → produces
- signature
- /swap
- body includes
- both
- signature
- and
- permitData
- — the Universal Router contract needs
- permitData
- to reconstruct and verify the Permit2 authorization on-chain
- UniswapX flow (DUTCH_V2/V3/PRIORITY)
- —
- permitData
- stays local:
- /quote
- returns
- permitData
- (EIP-712 typed data for the Dutch order)
- User signs
- permitData
- locally → produces
- signature
- /swap
- body includes
- only
- signature
- — the order is already fully encoded in
- quote.encodedOrder
- , which the off-chain filler system reads directly. Sending
- permitData
- to
- /swap
- causes a schema validation error.
- Route Type
- Sign with
- permitData
- ?
- Send
- permitData
- to
- /swap

- Send
- signature
- to
- /swap
- ?
- CLASSIC
- Yes
- Yes
- (router needs it)
- Yes (if using Permit2)
- DUTCH_V2/V3/PRIORITY
- Yes
- No
- (schema rejects it)
- Yes
- Common mistake
-
- The API error
- "quote" does not match any of the allowed types
- often points at the
- quote
- field, but the actual cause is
- permitData
- being present for a UniswapX route. Strip
- permitData
- before submitting — see the routing-aware
- prepareSwapRequest
- in
- Null Field Handling
- .
- Direct Universal Router Integration (SDK)
- For direct Universal Router integration without the Trading API, use the SDK's high-level API.
- Installation

This causes "wallet not connected" errors at swap time. Additionally, the returned client needs a chain for sendTransaction() to work. Recommended pattern — use @wagmi/core action functions at swap time instead of hooks: import { getWalletClient , getPublicClient , switchChain } from '@wagmi/core' ; import type { Config } from 'wagmi' ; async function executeSwapTransaction ( config : Config , chainId : number , swapTx : { to : string ; data : string ; value : string } ) { // 1. Ensure the wallet is on the correct chain await switchChain ( config , { chainId } ) ; // 2. Get wallet client with explicit chainId — avoids undefined and missing chain const walletClient = await getWalletClient ( config , { chainId } ) ; // 3. Execute the swap const hash = await walletClient . sendTransaction ( { to : swapTx . to as0x ${ string }, data : swapTx . data as0x ${ string }, value : BigInt ( swapTx . value || '0' ) , } ) ; // 4. Wait for confirmation const publicClient = getPublicClient ( config , { chainId } ) ; if ( ! publicClient ) throw new Error (No public client configured for chainId ${ chainId }) ; return publicClient . waitForTransactionReceipt ( { hash } ) ; } Why this matters : useWalletClient() hook returns { data: undefined } during async resolution, even after useAccount() shows connected getWalletClient(config, { chainId }) is a promise that resolves only when the client is ready, and includes the chain switchChain() prevents "chain mismatch" errors when the wallet is on a different network than the swap Backend Swap Script (Node.js) import { createWalletClient , createPublicClient , http , isAddress , isHex , type Address } from 'viem' ; import { privateKeyToAccount } from 'viem/accounts' ; import { mainnet } from 'viem/chains' ; const API_URL = 'https://trade-api.gateway.uniswap.org/v1' ; const API_KEY = process . env .

The pattern: Get swap calldata from Trading API (standard 3-step flow) Wrap the calldata in a delegation redemption execution Submit via bundler as a UserOperation // After getting swap calldata from Trading API: const { to , data , value } = swapResponse . swap ; // Wrap in delegation execution const execution = { target : to , // Universal Router callData : data , value : BigInt ( value ) , } ; // Submit via bundler const userOpHash = await bundlerClient . sendUserOperation ( { account : delegateSmartAccount , calls : [ { to : delegationManagerAddress , data : encodeFunctionData ( { abi : delegationManagerAbi , functionName : 'redeemDelegations' , args : [ [ [ signedDelegation ] ] , [ 0 ] , [ [ execution ] ] ] , } ) , value : execution . value , } , ] , } ) ; Key considerations : Use legacy approvals (direct to Universal Router) instead of Permit2 for smart accounts — see Approval Target Add 20-30% gas buffer for bundler gas estimation Handle bundler-specific error codes separately from standard transaction errors See Advanced Patterns Reference for the complete implementation with types and error handling. WETH Handling on L2s On L2 chains (Base, Optimism, Arbitrum), swaps outputting ETH may deliver WETH instead of native ETH. Always check and unwrap after swaps: import { parseAbi , type Address } from 'viem' ; const WETH_ABI = parseAbi ( [ 'function balanceOf(address) view returns (uint256)' , 'function withdraw(uint256)' , ] ) ; const WETH_ADDRESSES : Record < number , Address= { 1 : '0xC02aaA39b223FE8D0A0e5C4F27eAD9083C756Cc2' , 10 : '0x4200000000000000000000000000000000000006' , 8453 : '0x4200000000000000000000000000000000000006' , 42161 : '0x82aF49447D8a07e3bd95BD0d56f35241523fBab1' , } ; // After swap completes on an L2: const wethAddress = WETH_ADDRESSES [ chainId ] ; if ( wethAddress ) { const wethBalance = await publicClient . readContract ( { address : wethAddress , abi : WETH_ABI , functionName : 'balanceOf' , args : [ accountAddress ] , } ) ; if ( wethBalance
0n ) { const hash = await walletClient . writeContract ( { address : wethAddress , abi : WETH_ABI , functionName : 'withdraw' , args : [ wethBalance ] , } ) ; await publicClient . waitForTransactionReceipt ( { hash } ) ; } } See Advanced Patterns Reference for chain-specific WETH addresses and integration details. Rate Limiting The Trading API enforces rate limits (~10 requests/second per endpoint). For batch operations: Add 100-200ms delays between sequential API calls Implement exponential backoff with jitter on 429 responses Cache approval results — approvals rarely change between calls // Exponential backoff for 429 responses async function fetchWithRetry ( url : string , init : RequestInit , maxRetries = 5 ) : Promise < Response
{ for ( let attempt = 0 ; attempt <= maxRetries ; attempt ++ ) { const response = await fetch ( url , init ) ; if ( response . status !== 429 && response . status < 500 ) return response ; if ( attempt === maxRetries ) throw new Error (
Failed after ${ maxRetries } retries) ; const delay = Math . min ( 200 * Math . pow ( 2 , attempt ) + Math . random ( ) * 100 , 10000 ) ; await new Promise ( ( resolve ) => setTimeout ( resolve , delay ) ) ; } throw new Error ( 'Unreachable' ) ; } See Advanced Patterns Reference for batch operation patterns and full retry implementation.
