#Get Started or Add to an Existing Project

Getting started with Kinetic is incredibly straightforward. Just follow the steps below to start transacting with Kinetic in your app.

#Installation

pip install kinetic-sdk

#Instantiate the Kinetic Client

The Kinetic Client will give you access to all the methods you need to work with Fee subsidization on the blockchain.

We recommend starting with Devnet before moving on to Mainnet.

from kinetic_sdk import KineticSdk

kinetic_client = KineticSdk.setup(
    environment='devnet', # the name of your environment, e.g. devnet, mainnet,
    index=1, # your App Index
    endpoint='https://kinny-kinetic.azurewebsites.net', # devnet endpoint
)

Don't have an App Index? Register your app on our Onboarding Form so you can get your App Index that allows you to transact with our SDKs.

While you're waiting for confirmation of your App Index, use 1 on devnet so you can get started.

#Create Account

You can create accounts randomly or from existing mnemonics or secret keys. Below, we'll make a keypair and use that for creating an account on the blockchain.

from kinetic_sdk import Commitment
from kinetic_sdk.keypair import Keypair

mnemonic = Keypair.generate_mnemonic()
keypair = Keypair.from_secret(mnemonic)

# or keypair = Keypair.random()

kinetic_client.create_account(
    owner=keypair,
    commitment=Commitment('Finalized'), # Optional: "Confirmed", "Finalized", "Processed"
)

#Close Account

It's good practice to close unneeded accounts. You can only close accounts that you have created and are currently empty.

from kinetic_sdk import Commitment

kinetic_client.close_account(
    account=keypair.public_key,
    commitment=Commitment('Finalized'), # Optional: "Confirmed", "Finalized", "Processed"
)

#Check Balance

Check a user balance by passing in the public key of the account you want to check.

The response object includes your total token balance as well as detailing all of the Mints and Tokens held by that Public Key.

balance = kinetic_client.get_balance(account=keypair.public_key)

#Airdrop Funds (devnet)

Send some test funds to a specific Public Key on Devnet.

from kinetic_sdk import Commitment

airdrop = kinetic_client.request_airdrop(
    account=keypair.public_key,
    amount='1000',
    commitment=Commitment('Finalized'), # Optional: "Confirmed", "Finalized", "Processed"
)

#Transfer a token

Transfer a token from a Keypair to any Public Key.

from kinetic_sdk import Commitment
from kinetic_sdk.models.transaction_type import TransactionType

transfer = kinetic_client.make_transfer(
    amount='5000',
    destination='BQJi5K2s4SDDbed1ArpXjb6n7yVUfM34ym9a179MAqVo',
    owner=keypair,
    commitment=Commitment('Finalized'), # Optional: "Confirmed", "Finalized", "Processed"
    tx_type=TransactionType.P2P, # Optional, can be Unknown, None, Earn, Spend or P2P
    reference='some reference', # Optional, stored off-chain and returned via webhooks
    sender_create=False # Optional, will make a Token Account at that destination if true
)

Note - reference is stored off chain and will be passed back to the app via webhooks if they are set up.

#Transfer a token Batch

Make a batch transfer of a token.

from kinetic_sdk import Commitment

destinations = []

destinations.append(
  {
    'amount': '500',
    'destiation': 'BQJi5K2s4SDDbed1ArpXjb6n7yVUfM34ym9a179MA123'
  })
destinations.append(
  {
    'amount': '600',
    'destiation': 'BQJi5K2s4SDDbed1ArpXjb6n7yVUfM34ym9a179MA456'
  })
destinations.append(
  {
    'amount': '700',
    'destiation': 'BQJi5K2s4SDDbed1ArpXjb6n7yVUfM34ym9a179MA789'
  })

batch_transfer = kinetic_client.make_transfer_batch(
    owner=keypair,
    destinations=destinations,
    commitment=Commitment('Finalized'), # Optional: "Confirmed", "Finalized", "Processed"
    reference_id='some id', # Optional, stored off-chain and returned via webhooks
    reference_type='some reference', # Optional, stored off-chain, returned via webhooks
    sender_create=False # Optional, will make a Token Account at that destination
)

#Get Transaction Details

Get the details of any transaction by passing in the transaction signature.

transaction = kinetic_client.get_transaction(signature='transaction id string')

#Get Solana Explorer URL

Solana Explorer

explorer_url = kinetic_client.get_explorer_url('transaction id string')

#Get Account History

Get the full transaction history of any account by passing in the account's Public Key.

history = kinetic_client.get_history(account=keypair.publicKey)

#Get Account Info

Easily get the main info of any account by passing in the account's Public Key.

account_info = kinetic_client.get_account_info(account=keypair.publicKey)

#Get Token Accounts

Get the full list of Token Accounts held by a Keypair on Solana.

token_accounts = kinetic_client.get_token_accounts(account=keypair.publicKey)

#Webhooks

Access Kinetic Manager to manage your app's settings.

This includes allowing you to configure your app to use a number of webhooks.

#Balance Webhook

The balance webhook allows you to receive an alert when your app's hotwallet is running low on Sol so you can top it up and ensure your app can continue to keep transacting.

E.g. In a python server:

@cross_origin()
@app.route('/balance', methods=['POST'])
def events():
    print('request_body: ', request.body)
    # DO STUFF WITH BALANCE ALERT
    response = '', 200
    return response

#Event Webhook

The event webhook allows you to receive alerts when actions have been confirmed on the Solana blockchain.

E.g. In a python server:

@cross_origin()
@app.route('/events', methods=['POST'])
def events():
    print('request_body: ', request.body)
    # DO STUFF WITH EVENT DATA
    response = '', 200
    return response

#Verify Webhook

The verify webhook allows you to have fine-grained control over transactions, making sure they meet your own criteria before allowing them to proceed.

E.g. In a python server return a 200 status code to approve the transaction or a 400 to reject it:

@cross_origin()
@app.route('/verify', methods=['POST'])
def events():
    print('request_body: ', request.body)
    # CHECK THAT YOU WANT THIS TRANSACTION TO PROCEED
    # Return 200 if you do
    response = '', 200
    return response

#Demos and Starter Kits

Created to help get you up and running as quickly as possible, these projects can be a great reference point when you get stuck or even a starter for your own project. Happy coding!

#Developer Best Practices

Once you're ready to code, have a quick look at our Developer Best Practices where we cover some useful topics that you'll want to keep in mind as you build out your application.

General notes

• For methods that request a token be transferred, amount is the amount of the token, not quarks.
• Response objects from requests have updated / changed.

# Kinetic
from kinetic_sdk import Commitment
from kinetic_sdk.models.transaction_type import TransactionType

transfer = kinetic_client.make_transfer(
    amount='5000',
    destination='BQJi5K2s4SDDbed1ArpXjb6n7yVUfM34ym9a179MAqVo',

amount = '1000'
quarks = kin_to_quarks(amount)

payment = Payment(sender, destination, transaction_type, quarks)

transfer = kin_client.submit_payment(payment)

# The Agora invoice option has been replaced by 'reference'

Transfer a Token Batch

# Kinetic
from kinetic_sdk import Destination, Commitment

destinations = []

destinations.append(
  {
    'amount': '500',
    'destiation': 'BQJi5K2s4SDDbed1ArpXjb6n7yVUfM34ym9a179MA123'
  })

    commitment=Commitment('Finalized'), # Optional: "Confirmed", "Finalized", "Processed"
    reference_id='some id', # Optional, stored off-chain and returned via webhooks
    reference_type='some reference', # Optional, stored off-chain, returned via webhooks
    sender_create=False # Optional, will make a Token Account at that destination
)

# Agora
from agora.model import Payment, TransactionType, Earn, EarnBatch

earns = []
earns.append(
  Earn('BQJi5K2s4SDDbed1ArpXjb6n7yVUfM34ym9a179MA123', kin_to_quarks('500'))
)
earns.append(
  Earn('BQJi5K2s4SDDbed1ArpXjb6n7yVUfM34ym9a179MA456', kin_to_quarks('600'))
)
earns.append(
  Earn('BQJi5K2s4SDDbed1ArpXjb6n7yVUfM34ym9a179MA789', kin_to_quarks('700'))
)

sender = some_private_key
batch = EarnBatch(sender, earns)

batch_transfer = kin_client.submit_earn_batch(earns)

Get Transaction Details

# Kinetic
transaction = kinetic_client.get_transaction(signature='transaction id string')

# Agora
import base58

decoded = base58.b58decode('transaction_id')
transaction = kin_client.get_transaction(decoded)

Webhooks

In Agora, we used the sign_transaction webhook. That's been deprecated and we now have the verify webhook that can simply return a 200 status code to confirm verification of a request.
