# Introduction

RampHub gives you one API for quotes, orders, routing, webhooks, and status sync.

> **Read this first**
> This page explains the platform at a high level. If you already know the flow, jump straight to quickstart and authentication.

## What this page explains

Use this page when you want the map before the endpoints. RampHub is a routing layer, not just a quote endpoint. It compares live providers, chooses the best route, and keeps the order lifecycle in sync after the user starts a trade.

## Use it for

* Compare routes before you create an order.
* Create buy and sell orders from one API.
* Resolve Nigerian bank details before sell orders.
* Re-sync order state with webhooks and status sync.

## How to think about the protocol

* Quotes tell you what routes are available.
* Orders turn a route into a real trade.
* Webhooks tell you when the provider changes state.
* Status sync fills the gap when a webhook arrives late or not at all.

## Environments

Use sandbox while you build. Switch to live when you are ready.
