Practical overview
When it fits
Use the repository when you want a concrete Python starting point for Jupiter API quote-and-swap flows, or to follow the documented setup for running an example script.
Who it is for
- Python developers exploring Jupiter Exchange API integrations.
- Developers building or testing Solana quote-and-swap workflows.
Documented uses
- Inspect a Python example for requesting a Jupiter swap quote and submitting a swap.
- Run an example script with configured transaction-signing and RPC environment variables.
- Use the examples as a starting point for a Python application or service.
Requirements & limits
The repository is public and open source. The README says Jupiter APIs can be used without an API key for free; it describes a paid plan with higher limits and an optional API key.
- The examples use Python and require per-example dependency installation.
- Transaction signing uses a Base58-encoded private key supplied through an environment variable.
- A Solana RPC endpoint is required; the README recommends staked connections for transaction landing.
- The quote-and-swap example is a starting point, not evidence of a tested application layer.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Set up and run the simple quote-and-swap example
Prepare the repository’s documented example and run its Python script.
Before you start
- Python and pip
- A Solana RPC URL
- A Base58-encoded private key for signing transactions
- A Jupiter API key is optional according to the README
Steps
Clone the repository and change into its directory.
Copy
.env-exampleto.envand fill in the required private key and RPC URL; add an API key if applicable.Change into
swap-api/simple-quote-and-swap/and install dependencies with the command below.pip install -r requirements.txtRun the example script with the command below.
python main.py
Expected outcome
The documented setup runs the selected quote-and-swap Python example.
Guide limitations
- The README recommends a Solana RPC provider with staked connections for transaction landing and lists the default mainnet endpoint as an alternative.
- Each example has its own dependency file; the guide covers only the named quote-and-swap example.
