Quick start

Quick start

This page shows two ways to get going fast: programmatic usage and the CLI.

Programmatic: detect a market and initialize the router

from CobraRouter.detect import CobraDetector
from CobraRouter.router import Router
import asyncio
from solana.rpc.async_api import AsyncClient
import aiohttp

async def main():
    client = AsyncClient("https://api.apewise.org/rpc?api-key=")
    session = aiohttp.ClientSession()
    router = Router(client, session)
    detector = CobraDetector(router, "https://api.apewise.org/rpc?api-key=")
    detect = await detector._detect("9R1pCPM7GRr9F4gk978LqBQiPKfYStbZKc5iKV4imoon")
    print(detect)
    await client.close()
    await session.close()
    await router.close()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

Example output:

BMBcZ9GWMCi9HaCE7BagrLxakzffy6fAGdEpihLRfVPw
[CobraRouter] Route winner (?): 675kPX9MHTjS2zt1qfr1NYHuzeLXfQM9H24wFSUt1Mp8 -> BMBcZ9GWMCi9HaCE7BagrLxakzffy6fAGdEpihLRfVPw
("675kPX9MHTjS2zt1qfr1NYHuzeLXfQM9H24wFSUt1Mp8", "BMBcZ9GWMCi9HaCE7BagrLxakzffy6fAGdEpihLRfVPw")

CLI: trade from your terminal

1) Create secrets.env with the required variables:

RUN_AS_CLI=True
BOT_TOKEN=
HTTP_RPC="https://api.apewise.org/rpc?api-key="

# CLI CONFIG SECTION
PRIVATE_KEY=2wY3abcde5Pj4xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
SLIPPAGE=30
PRIORITY_FEE_LEVEL="high"  # low | medium | high | turbo

2) Run the CLI from the repository root:

python main.py

That’s it — you’re ready to explore pools, route swaps, and build on top of Cobra.
