estimate_buy_price(uniswap, base_token, quote_token, quantity, *, fee=30, slippage=0, intermediate_token=None)[source]

Estimate how much we are going to need to pay when doing buy.

Calls the on-chain contract to get the current liquidity and estimates the the price based on it.

Example:

# Estimate how much ETH we will receive for 500 USDC.
# In this case the pool ETH price is $1700 so this should be below ~1/4 of ETH
amount_eth = estimate_buy_price(
    uniswap_v2,
    weth,
    usdc,
    1*10**18,
)
assert amount_eth / 1e18 == pytest.approx(0.28488156127668085)
