Metis Swap API

The Metis Swap API (formerly known as Jupiter Swap API) is available for all customers with an active Solana Subscription.

To utilise Triton One's self-hosted Metis Swap API Binary, you do not need to have any $JUP tokens staked; Triton One has got you covered.

What is Metis?

Metis is Jupiter's routing and quote engine that brings the power of Jupiter's routing directly to your infrastructure. It scans 20+ DEXes and AMMs across Solana's DeFi ecosystem, calculates optimal routes, splits trades when beneficial, and builds ready-to-sign swap transactions.

Key Features

• Liquidity Aggregation: Combines liquidity from multiple AMMs and DEXes into a single route

• Platform Fees: Support for platform fees directly in the quote API - set your fee wallet and pass a platform fee parameter

• ExactOut Mode: Perfect for payment flows where you need to receive an exact output amount (e.g., accepting many tokens but settling in USDC)

Use Cases

Metis API on Triton can power:

• Wallets with simple swap functionality

• Payment gateways that accept many tokens and settle in a single asset

• Trading bots and arbitrage systems

• DEX frontends with clean swap flows

Getting Started

To start using the Metis Swap API, use the following pathing in your code:

curl 'https://<endpoint>.rpcpool.com/<private_token>/metis/quote?

Example Request

curl 'https://endpoint.rpcpool.com/private_token/metis/quote?\
inputMint=EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v&\
outputMint=So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112&\
amount=1000000&\
slippageBps=50'

Pricing

The self-hosted Metis Swap API uses metered billing and is not rate-limited.

The price per million Metis queries is $80. There are no rate limits to using this API; therefore, it is recommended to monitor your usage to prevent unexpected costs.

Availability

Metis Swap API is available for all customers with an active Solana Subscription, on both shared RPC pools and dedicated nodes.

Executing a Swap

After getting a quote from the /quote endpoint, you can execute the swap:

1. Get a Quote: Use the /quote endpoint (as shown in the example above)

2. Get Swap Instructions: Use the response to build your swap transaction

3. Sign and Send: Sign the transaction with your wallet and submit to the network

The Metis API builds ready-to-sign swap transactions for you.

Example Flow

# Step 1: Get a quote
curl 'https://endpoint.rpcpool.com/private_token/metis/quote?inputMint=...&outputMint=...&amount=...'

# Step 2: Use the quote response to execute the swap
# (See full documentation for swap endpoint details)

For complete details on executing swaps, including the /swap and /swap-instructions endpoints, refer to the Metis documentation.
