Make a video about a simple Buy and Sell. Buy a token with SOL, sell your token for SOL. Manually call the function. This is where people should start using Jupiter API and I don't see this video anywhere.

I can help you build your bot bro

- If you were looking for a simple swap example on Raydium DEX, this video should help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqWmfGaXrNNjisU - If you were looking for a swap example using Jupiter API, find JS, TS, Ruby, and Rust examples here in docs: www.quicknode.com/docs/solana/swap

[@rolandonwa2369]

Make a video for swapping, the bot will buy token on exchange 1 and sell on exchange 2 for profit

Error when executing the command: ts-node index.ts . Which script should I configure in panckage.json? Do I need to create a "src" folder or just modify the script for start ?

Bro, close your file chooser when you're going through the code. It unnecessarily takes up screen real estate and places your face over the code.

[@nachohaxor]

@QuickNode can the priority fee api be used with the metis endpoint?

[@quakeIII]

Working really well, except for Program Error: "Instruction #6 Failed - Slippage tolerance exceeded"

[@_D3adB0y_]

Thanks for the thelp. Although, the amount of code it takes to do anything on Solana is so dumb lol.

[@FunnyInternetTrends]

i was searching this since 5 hours, thanks!

[@Ipabelsocial]

Hi! With this code I sometimes get this on the wallet transactions: Program Error: "Instruction #6 Failed - Slippage tolerance exceeded". Is this normal, or the slippage has to be adjusted? Thanks!

[@corinth2006]

I am using solana tg banna gun bot at the moment and am thinking of trying this out... I am curious about performance... How does this set compare to gun bot in terms of transaction speed and fees

Perfect timing | Quick node / Jupiter SWAP API +1000%%! Really appreciate these hands on guides @QuickNode

[@monkeygames1771]

did you use a public one or paid?

[@FxLybs]

really true!!!!

[@TraceyGrimes-dl4mr]

Can I trade memecoin with this bot as well?

[@richardore896]

@@TraceyGrimes-dl4mr I doubt it as the Jupiter swap api has a requirement that only tokens with more than $500 liquidity can be traded. Even at that, it still takes almost 30 minutes for the tokens to show up on the swap api

[@Negociosdelfuturo-lx1wu]

Hello, metis is added as an add-on in quicknode but it does not show the dashboard, therefore I cannot get the "REST Jupiter v6 swap API", do you know what happens?

[@acediamonds3188]

What platform is the best to deploy a Solana trading bot please, does anyone know?

[@mehmetatasayar3528]

[@abba4050]

You are in control

How can I contact you for custom trading bot on solana?

[@mark1086]

How does the speed of these swaps compare to Trojan/Bonk bot etc? Thanks for the video!

[@LouisCherokee]

I wanted to thank you for your Financial Advice !

[@suchicoin]

if I do not have the secret key but just the private key how should I do?

[@learntrading70]

Hey I need sniper bot plz😊

[@vitterr]

Question is there is a code for radium Swap! Also how to achieve 1 second speed in transactions

[@mfml.crypto]

Hey mate, could you help me? Is it possible to create it all from zero? I don't understand so much of coding.

[@TatuMyrzabekov]

Sir, my REST Jupiter V6 swap API is missing, and field is empty. HOw do i fix it ?

[@QuickNode]

Please, reach out to our support. Your issue will be solved promptly.

[@AntonSavchenko-xb1ry]

is it fit with pumpfun ?

[@syncomatte]

I am not able to get the Metis - Jupiter V6 Swap API. It does not show up on add-ons section of my endpoint. Any help appreciated.

[@QuickNode]

Please make sure that you’re looking at the add-on section of a Solana Mainnet endpoint

[@tylerdurr2979]

Do you have typescript and ts-node installed globally, installed as a dependency, or installed as a dev-dependency?

[@QuickNode]

Have them installed globally

[@tylerdurr2979]

Ok. thanks! Also, I’m getting the following error in the index.ts file: “Unexpected non-whitespace character after JSON at position 1 at JSON. parse («anonymous>)”. I believe it’s throwing the error at line 18 (let decodedSecretKey = Uint8Array.from(JSON.parse(process.env.SECRET_KEY));). Any idea what might be causing this error?

[@QuickNode]

This error is because of improper pasting of secret key. Make sure that it’s in a single like with just a comma and space between two numbers for example, [23, 56, 77,….]

[@tylerdurr2979]

Got it working now! Thanks so much!!!

[@InvestidorCrypto2019]

@@tylerdurr2979 I'm glad your bot worked, could you please tell me which start script to put? Another thing, do you need to create a "src" folder and move the .bot.ts and index.ts files into "src"?

[@Am_Miles]

It doesn't show dashboard on the regular account

[@QuickNode]

You would first have to install the addon from the addons section of your Solana Mainnet endpoint

[@xrprealestate]

@@QuickNode theres only view in marketplce, support, deactivate, no dashboard

[@LucCastera-k8o]

Nice!
