CLI Scripts

This skill includes ready-to-use CLI scripts for all endpoints. Available in Python and TypeScript/Bun.

Dependencies (Solana):

# Python
pip install solana solders base58

# TypeScript/Bun
bun add @solana/web3.js bs58

Dependencies (Base/EVM):

# TypeScript/Bun
bun add viem

Search Products

# Python
python scripts/search.py "wireless headphones" --price-max 100
python scripts/search.py "running shoes" --brand Nike --page 2

# TypeScript
bun run scripts/search.ts "wireless headphones" --price-max 100

AI Shopping Assistant

# Python
python scripts/shop.py "comfortable running shoes under $100"

# TypeScript
bun run scripts/shop.ts "wireless headphones with good noise cancellation"

Create Order (without signing)

# Amazon by ASIN
python scripts/buy.py --asin B0CXYZ1234 --email [e-mail] \
  --wallet 7xKXtg... --address "John Doe,123 Main St,New York,NY,10001,US"

# Shopify product
bun run scripts/buy.ts --url "https://store.com/products/item" --variant 41913945718867 \
  --email [e-mail] --wallet 7xKXtg... --address "John Doe,123 Main St,NYC,NY,10001,US"

Address format: Name,Line1,City,State,PostalCode,Country[,Line2][,Phone]

Create Order AND Sign Transaction (Solana)

End-to-end purchase flow - creates order and signs/submits the Solana transaction:

# Python
python scripts/buy_and_sign.py --asin B0CXYZ1234 --email [e-mail] \
  --wallet 7xKXtg... --private-key 5abc123... \
  --address "John Doe,123 Main St,New York,NY,10001,US"

# TypeScript
bun run scripts/buy_and_sign.ts --url "https://store.com/products/item" --variant 41913945718867 \
  --email [e-mail] --wallet 7xKXtg... --private-key 5abc123... \
  --address "John Doe,123 Main St,NYC,NY,10001,US"

Create Order AND Sign Transaction (Base)

End-to-end purchase flow using Base/EVM wallet:

bun run scripts/buy_and_sign_base.ts --asin B0CXYZ1234 --email [e-mail] \
  --wallet 0x1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef12345678 \
  --private-key 0xabc123... \
  --address "John Doe,123 Main St,New York,NY,10001,US"

Sign Transaction Only (Solana)

If you already have a serializedTransaction from the /buy endpoint:

# Python
python scripts/sign_transaction.py "<serialized_tx>" "<private_key_base58>"

# TypeScript
bun run scripts/sign_transaction.ts "<serialized_tx>" "<private_key_base58>"

Sign Transaction Only (Base)

bun run scripts/sign_transaction_base.ts "<serialized_tx_hex>" "<private_key_hex>"

Output (Solana):

✅ Transaction successful!
   Signature: 5UfgJ3vN...
   Explorer:  https://solscan.io/tx/5UfgJ3vN...

Output (Base):

✅ Transaction successful!
   Hash:     0x1234...
   Explorer: https://basescan.org/tx/0x1234...

Signing Transactions Programmatically

For custom integrations without using the bundled scripts:

JavaScript/TypeScript

import { Connection, Transaction, clusterApiUrl } from "@solana/web3.js";
import bs58 from "bs58";

async function signAndSendTransaction(
  serializedTransaction: string,
  wallet: { signTransaction: (tx: Transaction) => Promise<Transaction> }
) {
  // Decode the base58 transaction
  const transactionBuffer = bs58.decode(serializedTransaction);
  const transaction = Transaction.from(transactionBuffer);

  // Sign with user's wallet (e.g., Phantom, Solflare)
  const signedTransaction = await wallet.signTransaction(transaction);

  // Send to Solana network
  const connection = new Connection(clusterApiUrl("mainnet-beta"));
  const signature = await connection.sendRawTransaction(
    signedTransaction.serialize()
  );

  // Confirm transaction
  await connection.confirmTransaction(signature, "confirmed");

  return signature;
}

React with Wallet Adapter

import { useWallet, useConnection } from "@solana/wallet-adapter-react";
import { Transaction } from "@solana/web3.js";
import bs58 from "bs58";

function CheckoutButton({ serializedTransaction }: { serializedTransaction: string }) {
  const { signTransaction, publicKey } = useWallet();
  const { connection } = useConnection();

  const handlePayment = async () => {
    if (!signTransaction || !publicKey) {
      throw new Error("Wallet not connected");
    }

    // Decode and sign
    const tx = Transaction.from(bs58.decode(serializedTransaction));
    const signed = await signTransaction(tx);

    // Send and confirm
    const sig = await connection.sendRawTransaction(signed.serialize());
    await connection.confirmTransaction(sig, "confirmed");

    console.log("Payment complete:", sig);
  };

  return ;
}

Python (with solana-py)

import base58
from solana.rpc.api import Client
from solana.transaction import Transaction
from solders.keypair import Keypair

def sign_and_send(serialized_tx: str, keypair: Keypair) -> str:
    # Decode base58 transaction
    tx_bytes = base58.b58decode(serialized_tx)
    transaction = Transaction.deserialize(tx_bytes)

    # Sign
    transaction.sign(keypair)

    # Send
    client = Client("https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com")
    result = client.send_transaction(transaction)

    return result.value  # transaction signature

Signing Base/EVM Transactions

For Base chain orders, the serializedTransaction is an EVM transaction that needs to be signed with an EVM wallet.

TypeScript with viem

import { createWalletClient, http, parseTransaction } from "viem";
import { base } from "viem/chains";
import { privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts";

async function signAndSendBaseTransaction(
  serializedTransaction: string,
  privateKey: `0x${string}`
) {
  const account = privateKeyToAccount(privateKey);

  const client = createWalletClient({
    account,
    chain: base,
    transport: http(),
  });

  // Parse and send the serialized transaction
  const tx = parseTransaction(serializedTransaction as `0x${string}`);
  const hash = await client.sendTransaction(tx);

  console.log("Transaction hash:", hash);
  console.log("Explorer: https://basescan.org/tx/" + hash);

  return hash;
}

React with wagmi

import { useSendTransaction } from "wagmi";
import { parseTransaction } from "viem";

function CheckoutButton({ serializedTransaction }: { serializedTransaction: string }) {
  const { sendTransaction } = useSendTransaction();

  const handlePayment = async () => {
    const tx = parseTransaction(serializedTransaction as `0x${string}`);
    sendTransaction(tx);
  };

  return <button onClick={handlePayment}>Pay with USDC on Base</button>;
}

Complete Checkout Flow (Solana)

// 1. Search for products
const searchResponse = await fetch("https://api.purch.xyz/shop", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
  body: JSON.stringify({ message: "wireless headphones under $100" })
});
const { products, reply } = await searchResponse.json();

// 2. User selects a product, create order (Solana wallet)
const orderResponse = await fetch("https://api.purch.xyz/buy", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    asin: products[0].asin,
    email: "[e-mail]",
    walletAddress: wallet.publicKey.toBase58(), // Solana address
    shippingAddress: {
      name: "John Doe",
      line1: "123 Main St",
      city: "New York",
      state: "NY",
      postalCode: ,
      : 
    }
  })
});
 { orderId, serializedTransaction, checkoutUrl } =  orderResponse.();


 tx = .(bs58.(serializedTransaction));
 signed =  wallet.(tx);
 signature =  connection.(signed.());
 connection.(signature, );

.();

Complete Checkout Flow (Base)

import { parseTransaction } from "viem";

// 1. Search for products
const searchResponse = await fetch("https://api.purch.xyz/shop", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
  body: JSON.stringify({ message: "wireless headphones under $100" })
});
const { products } = await searchResponse.json();

// 2. User selects a product, create order (EVM wallet)
const orderResponse = await fetch("https://api.purch.xyz/buy", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    asin: products[0].asin,
    email: "[e-mail]",
    walletAddress: "0x1234...", // Base/EVM address - chain auto-detected
    shippingAddress: {
      name: "John Doe",
      line1: "123 Main St",
      city: "New York",
      state: ,
      : ,
      : 
    }
  })
});
 { orderId, serializedTransaction } =  orderResponse.();


 tx = (serializedTransaction  );
 hash =  walletClient.(tx);

.();

Fallback: Browser Checkout

If wallet signing fails or isn't available, redirect to checkoutUrl for browser-based payment:

if (!wallet.connected) {
  window.open(checkoutUrl, "_blank");
}

Error Handling

All endpoints return errors as:

{
  "code": "VALIDATION_ERROR",
  "message": "Invalid email format",
  "details": { "field": "email" }
}

Common error codes:

• VALIDATION_ERROR (400) - Invalid request parameters
• NOT_FOUND (404) - Product not found
• RATE_LIMITED (429) - Too many requests
• INTERNAL_ERROR (500) - Server error
