# Solana Trader Python Client

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

## Installation

` $ pip install bxsolana-trader `

## Usage

This library supports HTTP, websockets, and GRPC interfaces. You can use it with a context manager or handle open/closing yourself.

For any methods involving transaction creation you will need to provide your Solana private key. You can provide this via the environment variable PRIVATE_KEY, or specify it via the provider configuration if you want to load it with some other mechanism. See samples for more information. As a general note on this: methods named post_* (e.g. post_order) 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. submit_order). These methods generate, sign, and submit the transaction all at once.

You will also need your bloXroute authorization header to use these endpoints. By default, this is loaded from the AUTH_HEADER environment variable.

Context manager:

```python from bxsolana import provider

async with provider.http() as api:

print(await api.get_orderbook(market="ETHUSDT"))

async with provider.ws() as api:

async for update in api.get_orderbooks_stream(market="ETHUSDT"):

print(update)

```

Manual:

```python import bxsolana

from bxsolana import provider

p = provider.grpc() api = await bxsolana.trader_api(p)

try:

await api.get_orderbook(market="ETHUSDT")

finally:

await p.close()

```

Refer to the examples/ for more info.

## Development

bloXroute Solana Trader API's interfaces are primarily powered by protobuf, so you will need to install it for your system: https://grpc.io/docs/protoc-installation/

In order to install local version of bxsolana_trader_proto dependency

you can build the solana-trader-proto/python directory using these commands

```

$ cd ~/solana-trader-proto/

upgrade the version in pyproject.toml

$ make proto-build-api-python $ cd python

you can also push the package to pypi $ rm -rf python/dist/ $ python3 -m build $ python3 -m twine upload --repository pypi dist/*

and install the package locally now $ pip install dist/bxsolana-trader-proto-0.0.18.tar.gz

now you can update the depdendency in solana-trader-client-python update the version of bxsolana-trader-proto in setup.cfg and run $ pip install -r requirements.txt

```

Clone project and install dependencies:

` $ git clone https://github.com/bloXroute-Labs/solana-trader-client-python.git $ cd solana-trader-client-python $ pip install -r requirements.txt `

Run tests:

``` $ make test

Linting: ` $ make lint `
