## Notes

To generate a `QuoteReqID`, we recommend using a UUID4 or another globally unique identifier. `QuoteReqID` must be unique and with length less than or equal to 36 characters.

Quote responses are delivered on the [Quote](/institutional/api-reference/prime-websocket/quote) stream. To accept a quote, see [New Order Single](/institutional/api-reference/prime-websocket/new-order-single) (`OrdType=RFQ`).
