Solana.py

Solana Python API built on the JSON RPC API.

Python version of solana-web3.js for interacting with Solana.

Read the Documentation.

Also check out anchorpy, a Python client for Anchor based programs on Solana.

Quickstart

Installation

pip install solana

General Usage

import solana

API Client

from solana.rpc.api import Client

http_client = Client("https://api.devnet.solana.com")

Async API Client

import asyncio
from solana.rpc.async_api import AsyncClient

async def main():
    async with AsyncClient("https://api.devnet.solana.com") as client:
        res = await client.is_connected()
    print(res)  # True

    # Alternatively, close the client explicitly instead of using a context manager:
    client = AsyncClient("https://api.devnet.solana.com")
    res = await client.is_connected()
    print(res)  # True
    await client.close()

asyncio.run(main())

Websockets Client

import asyncio
from asyncstdlib import enumerate
from solana.rpc.websocket_api import connect

async def main():
    async with connect("ws://api.devnet.solana.com") as websocket:
        await websocket.logs_subscribe()
        first_resp = await websocket.recv()
        subscription_id = first_resp.result
        next_resp = await websocket.recv()
        print(next_resp)
        await websocket.logs_unsubscribe(subscription_id)

    # Alternatively, use the client as an infinite asynchronous iterator:
    async with connect("ws://api.devnet.solana.com") as websocket:
        await websocket.logs_subscribe()
        first_resp = await websocket.recv()
        subscription_id = first_resp.result
        async for idx, msg in enumerate(websocket):
            if idx == 3:
                break
            print(msg)
        await websocket.logs_unsubscribe(subscription_id)

asyncio.run(main())
