Getting Started

Raptor is fully self-hosted. No API key required—just download the binary and run it on your own infrastructure.

Requirements:

• Solana RPC endpoint
• Yellowstone gRPC endpoint (required for pool indexing)

Raptor uses very few RPC calls during normal operation since pool state is streamed via Yellowstone.

# Download the latest release
curl -L https://github.com/solanatracker/raptor/releases/latest/download/raptor-linux-amd64 -o raptor
chmod +x raptor

# Set environment variables
export RPC_URL="https://your-rpc-endpoint.com"
export YELLOWSTONE_ENDPOINT="https://your-yellowstone-endpoint.com"
export YELLOWSTONE_TOKEN="your-token"  # if required by your provider

# Run
./raptor

Server starts at http://0.0.0.0:8080 by default.

API Endpoints

Method	Endpoint	Description
GET	/quote	Get swap quote with routing
POST	/swap	Build swap transaction from quote
POST	/swap-instructions	Get swap instructions only
POST	/quote-and-swap	Quote + transaction in one request
POST	/send-transaction	Submit via Yellowstone Jet TPU
GET	/transaction/:signature	Track transaction status
GET	/health	Health check

Get a Quote

curl "http://localhost:8080/quote?\
inputMint=So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112&\
outputMint=EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v&\
amount=1000000000&\
slippageBps=50"

Build and Send a Swap

// 1. Get quote
const quote = await fetch('/quote?inputMint=...&outputMint=...&amount=...')
  .then(r => r.json());

// 2. Build transaction
const { swapTransaction } = await fetch('/swap', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    quote,
    userPublicKey: wallet.publicKey.toString(),
    wrapUnwrapSol: true,
    priorityFee: 'auto'
  })
}).then(r => r.json());

// 3. Sign and send
const tx = VersionedTransaction.deserialize(Buffer.from(swapTransaction, 'base64'));
tx.sign([wallet]);

const { signature } = await fetch('/send-transaction', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
  body: JSON.stringify({ 
    transaction: Buffer.from(tx.serialize()).toString('base64') 
  })
}).then(r => r.json());

WebSocket Streaming

Connect to /stream for real-time quotes that update on pool state changes.

const ws = new WebSocket('wss://raptor-beta.solanatracker.io/stream');

ws.send(JSON.stringify({
  type: 'subscribe',
  inputMint: 'So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112',
  outputMint: 'EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v',
  amount: 1000000000,
  slippageBps: '50'
}));

ws.onmessage = (event) => {
  const msg = JSON.parse(event.data);
  if (msg.type === 'quote') {
    console.log(`${msg.data.amountOut} (slot: ${msg.data.contextSlot})`);
  }
};

min / low	Cost-saving
auto / medium	Recommended
high / veryHigh	Faster confirmation
turbo / unsafeMax	Maximum speed

Transaction Tracking

Transactions sent via /send-transaction can be tracked:

const tx = await fetch(`/transaction/${signature}`).then(r => r.json());

// Status: pending | confirmed | failed | expired
console.log(tx.status, tx.latency_ms);

for (const event of tx.events ?? []) {
  if (event.name === 'SwapEvent') {
    console.log(event.parsed.amountIn, '→', event.parsed.amountOut);
  }
}
