Solana Trader Typescript Client

Provides a Typescript SDK for bloXroute's Solana Trader API.

Installation

npm i @bloxroute/solana-trader-client-ts

Usage

This library supports HTTP, websockets, and GRPC interfaces.

First, you need to set AUTH_HEADER in your .env file to be able to authenticate properly.

For any methods involving transaction creation you will need to provide your Solana private key. You can provide this via the .env file - variable PRIVATE_KEY. See samples for more information.

A general note on this: methods named post* (e.g. postorder) typically do not sign/submit the transaction, only return the raw unsigned transaction. This isn't very useful to most users (unless you want to write a signer in a different language), and you'll typically want the similarly named submit* methods (e.g. submitOrder). These methods generate, sign, and submit the transaction all at once.

Sample:

import { HttpProvider } from "../bxsolana/provider/http.js"

const provider = new HttpProvider()
    
let req = await provider.getOrderbook({ "market": "SOLUSDC", "limit": 5 })
console.info(req)

Refer to the examples/ for more info. You need to add an .env file in examples/ with the right properties, to run it.

a proper .env file looks like something like this.

AUTH_HEADER="ZDIxYzE0NmItZWYxNi00ZmFmLTg5YWUtMzYwMTk4YzUyZmM4OjEwOWE5MzEzZDc2Yjg3M......................"
PRIVATE_KEY="3EhZ4Epe6QrcDKQRucdftv6vWXMnpTKDV4mekSPWZEcZnJV4huzesLHwASdVUzo......................"

Development

We use pbkit/pbkit to generate Typescript files from .proto definitions. You'll need to install their kit:

$ brew install pbkit/tap/pbkit

Clone the repo and install dependencies:

$ git clone https://github.com/bloXroute-Labs/solana-trader-client-ts.git
$ cd solana-trader-client-ts
$ npm i

Lint:

$ npm run lint

Format:

$ npm run format

Install precommit hooks:

$ npx husky install

Regenerate protobuf definitions:

$ npm run proto

How to Publish a new NPM release

We use np to publish new releases to npm. To make a new release, in the project directory use:

$ npm run release

Follow the menu items to select a version for the release (major, minor, patch).
