Getting Started

Ship your first request in under three minutes. Grab a key, paste a snippet, and you're streaming live Solana data.

Prerequisites

A Solana wallet is not required. You only need a Glowstack account and a terminal with curl, Node.js 20+, or Python 3.10+.

1. Create a key

Head to the dashboard and click Create key. Free accounts get 5,000 REST requests per day and one WebSocket subscription — plenty to prototype with.

Export it into your shell so the rest of this guide works verbatim:

export ST_KEY="st_live_••••••••••••••••"

2. Make your first request

Fetch the latest snapshot for any token by mint address or symbol.

cURL

curl https://api.glowstack.dev/v1/tokens/BONK \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ST_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: application/json"

TypeScript

import { Glowstack } from "@glowstack/sdk";

const sol = new Glowstack({ apiKey: process.env.ST_KEY });
const token = await sol.tokens.get("BONK");

console.log(token.price, token.mcap, token.signal);

Python

from glowstack import Glowstack

sol = Glowstack(api_key=os.environ["ST_KEY"])
token = sol.tokens.get("BONK")

print(token.price, token.mcap, token.signal)

A successful response looks like this:

{
  "mint": "DezXAZ8z7PnrnRJjz3wXBoRgixCa6xjnB7YaB1pPB263",
  "symbol": "BONK",
  "price": 0.0000182,
  "mcap": 1284500,
  "holders": 4127,
  "signal": "accumulation",
  "updated_at": "2026-04-21T14:02:11Z"
}

3. Subscribe to the live feed

Most Glowstack users don't poll — they stream. Open one WebSocket and subscribe to the events you care about.

TypeScript

const stream = await sol.stream({
  event: "token.created",
  filter: { source: "pumpfun" },
});

for await (const t of stream) {
  if (t.signal === "accumulation") console.log("⚡", t.symbol);
}

Python

async for t in sol.stream(event="token.created", source="pumpfun"):
    if t.signal == "accumulation":
        print("⚡", t.symbol)

See the WebSocket reference for the full subscription grammar, filter columns, and event schemas.

4. Add AI signals

AI Signals is a separate product surface that runs our models against the live feed. You can either read signals inline on token responses (as above) or subscribe to the dedicated signal.emitted event:

const signals = await sol.stream({ event: "signal.emitted" });
for await (const s of signals) console.log(s.type, s.confidence, s.token);

Read the full taxonomy and tuning guide in AI Signals.

5. Ship to production

Before you go live, read the short sections on:

• Authentication — key rotation, scopes, org keys
• Rate limits — per-route budgets, burst policies
• SDKs — typed responses, retry behaviour
