# Create Quote Execution

> Execute on a quote for buying or selling an asset.

The side, market, and guaranteed price of the execution are specified by the quote
with ID `quote_id`.

The amount to buy or sell must be specified in either fiat or crypto by setting
exactly one of:
 - `base_amount` to specify the amount of crypto to buy or sell.
 - `quote_amount` to specify the amount of fiat to spend or acquire.

An otherwise-valid request to create a quote execution may fail with the following
types of errors:
 - [Expired](https://developer.paxos.com/docs/v2/problems/expired) if the quote
   with ID `quote_id` has expired.
 - [Insufficient Funds](https://developer.paxos.com/docs/v2/problems/insufficient-funds)
   if the profile with ID `profile_id` has insufficient available balance to
   fund the execution.
 - [Rejected](https://developer.paxos.com/docs/v2/problems/rejected) if extreme
   market conditions (e.g. a very large price swing) have invalidated the quote.
 - [Already Exists](https://developer.paxos.com/docs/v2/problems/already-exists)
   if a Quote Execution with the same `ref_id` has already been created.
