Understand the project
Practical overview
When it fits
Use it when building a Python workflow for SOL-pair swaps on Raydium AMM v4 or CPMM pools and you can supply a pool ID, private key and RPC endpoint.
Who it is for
- Python developers building tools or services for SOL-pair swaps on Raydium.
- Bot builders who can configure an RPC endpoint and Base58-format private key.
Documented uses
- Submit swaps through Raydium AMM v4 or CPMM pools.
- Fetch pool IDs through included RPC methods.
- Use the library as a component in a command-line utility, Python service or trading bot.
Before you choose
Requirements & limits
- A pool ID, not a token mint address, is required for each swap.
- Only SOL pairs are supported; USDC pairs are identified as unsupported.
- CLMM pools and devnet are unsupported.
- Some free-tier RPCs block GET_PROGRAM_ACCOUNTS(), which may prevent pool-key retrieval.
- The README specifies solana==0.35.0 and solders==0.21.0.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Source-based practical guide
Prepare Raydium Py configuration
Install the documented Python dependencies and add the required credentials and RPC endpoint to the project configuration.
Before you start
- Python environment
- Base58-format private key
- RPC endpoint
Steps
Clone the repository.
Install solana==0.35.0 and solders==0.21.0 with pip.
Add the Base58 private key and RPC endpoint to config.py.
Expected outcome
The repository has its documented dependencies installed and the required configuration values added.
Guide limitations
- These setup steps do not describe executing a swap.
- The library does not support devnet or CLMM pools.
