interface CreateTransactionParams {
  // Route ID obtained from getQuotes response
  routeId: string;
}

//Example implementation
const transaction = await createTransaction({
  routeId: quotes.data.quotes[0].routeId,
});

// Example Response (shortened)
{
  "status": "success",
  "data": {
    "routeId": "01J2WB1NY6MD3F25CJTTB01D8F",
