Buy and Sell – API

Use this to buy and sell tokens.
Supported pools

• Pump.fun
• Raydium LaunchPad (including bonk)
• Meteora LaunchPad (including Bags.fm, moonshot)
• PumpSwap
• Raydium CPMM

Endpoint

POST https://api.pumpapi.io

Local transactions (No private key required)

Request Body

Field	Description
publicKey	Your public key (the wallet address)
action	"buy" or "sell"
mint	Mint address of the token
quoteMint	Optional. Not required. It works only if such pools exist. By default, the quote mint is So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112, so you don’t need to set it — we handle it automatically. But if you trade in pools where Solana is not the second token (for example, a Memecoin–USDC pair), then quoteMint should be the USDC address (or the address of any other quote token).
poolId	Optional. Not required. provide this if you need to trade token from the specific pool.
amount	Amount to trade. Use '100%' to sell all and get a 0.002 sol refund from the network
denominatedInQuote	"true" if amount is in SOL (or any other quote token), "false" for token amount
slippage	Slippage in percent (recommended: 20)
priorityFee	Optional priority fee in SOL

Lightning transactions⚡ (EASIER AND FASTER)

⚡ Lightning Transaction

Lightning transaction is a method of sending transactions where we broadcast the transaction on your behalf.
This approach allows for:

• 🚀 Maximum transaction speed
• 🧩 Minimal code complexity

By handling the transaction process internally, you don’t have to construct the transaction manually — we do it for you.

To use this feature, simply provide a wallet privateKey — it’s needed to sign and broadcast the transaction on your behalf.

Request Body

Field	Description
privateKey	Your private key
action	"buy" or "sell"
mint	Mint address of the token
quoteMint	Optional. Not required. It works only if such pools exist. By default, the quote mint is Solana -> So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112, so you don’t need to set it — we handle it automatically. But if you trade in pools where Solana is not the second token (for example, a Memecoin–USDC pair), then quoteMint should be the USDC address (or the address of any other quote token).
poolId	Optional. Not required. provide this if you need to trade token from the specific pool.
amount	Amount to trade. Use '100%' to sell all and get a 0.002 sol refund from the network
denominatedInQuote	"true" if amount is in SOL (or any other quote token), "false" for token amount
slippage	Slippage in percent (recommended: 20)
priorityFee	Optional extra fee (in SOL) to speed up your transaction and increase its chance of landing. There are two modes of operation: 1️⃣ Automatic Jito split (≥ 0.00023 SOL): If the value is 0.00023 SOL or higher, PumpAPI automatically splits it: • 90% → jitoTip (used by ~90% of validators) • 10% → priorityFee (for non-Jito validators) 2️⃣ No split (< 0.00023 SOL): If the value is less than 0.00023 SOL, no split occurs. The full amount is treated as priorityFee, and the transaction is sent via SQWOS (fast non-Jito route). Minimum allowed value: 10,000 lamports (0.00001 SOL). Dynamic options: you can also let PumpAPI auto-adjust fees dynamically based on recent network data. • 'auto' / 'auto-95' → ~95% success (~0.015 SOL ≈ $3–4) • 'auto-75' → ~75% success (~0.00113 SOL ≈ $0.2–0.3) • 'auto-50' → ~50% success (~0.00022 SOL ≈ $0.04) In this mode, only the priorityFee is adjusted automatically — jitoTip is not included or estimated. If you want to use Jito alongside dynamic fees, you can still set jitoTip manually (see below). ⚠️ Note: During heavy network congestion, fees for ~75/95% success can rise significantly — even $10 per transaction. The values above reflect the state at the time of writing. To save costs and have big chances to land the transaction, consider using the minimum fee (0.00001 SOL) together with guaranteedDelivery: true (see below).
maxPriorityFee	Optional. Sets the maximum priorityFee (in SOL) for auto / auto-* modes — it will never go above this value (example: 0.01).
jitoTip	Optional. Use this if you don’t want automatic priorityFee split. Example: 'jitoTip': 0.0002. Minimum required to join Jito auction: 0.0002 SOL. Anything below that is ignored, and the transaction is sent without Jito participation. When jitoTip is provided, your entire priorityFee remains intact (not split).
guaranteedDelivery	Optional experimental feature "true" tells the server to rebroadcast the transaction for up to 10 seconds and respond with confirmed: true if it appears on-chain within that time. Otherwise, you receive confirmed: false. ⚠️ This affects response time: if you want an immediate reply (without confirmation of success), set this to false!
