Practical overview
When it fits
Use it when you are building a Solana application and want to run a backend endpoint for parameterized token-swap requests.
Who it is for
- Developers building a Solana trading application that needs a backend swap endpoint.
- Teams seeking a self-hosted service that accepts token mint, amount and slippage parameters.
Documented uses
- Submit a swap request specifying input and output token mints.
- Set the swap amount and slippage in basis points.
- Run a local server configured with Solana RPC, Jupiter, Jito, wallet and Bird Eye credentials.
Requirements & limits
The repository is public and provides local setup instructions. Its README says the Bird Eye API key is not free.
- The documented interface is a local HTTP POST endpoint, not a hosted consumer exchange.
- The setup requires wallet credentials and multiple external service configuration values.
- The documented stack is Node.js, Express, TypeScript, Jupiter, Jito Bundle and Solana web3.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Set up the local swap API
Prepare and start the documented local development server.
Before you start
- Node.js project dependencies installed with npm, or Yarn for the documented start command.
- A .env file populated with the listed RPC, Jito, Jupiter, wallet and Bird Eye values.
- A Bird Eye API key; the README says it is not free.
Steps
Clone the project repository and enter its project directory.
Install dependencies with npm install.
Add the documented environment variables to a .env file.
Start the development server with npm run dev or yarn dev.
Expected outcome
The documented local development server is started; the README gives its swap endpoint as http://localhost:5000/swapToken.
Guide limitations
- The README lists credentials and service URLs but does not explain credential handling or provide troubleshooting steps.
- The documented start commands describe development mode, not production deployment.
