## Jupiter Swap Integration
### Jupiter V6 API Swap
```typescript
import { Connection, Keypair, VersionedTransaction } from "@solana/web3.js";
const JUPITER_API = "https://quote-api.jup.ag/v6";
interface QuoteResponse {
inputMint: string;
outputMint: string;
inAmount: string;
outAmount: string;
otherAmountThreshold: string;
swapMode: string;
slippageBps: number;
routePlan: RoutePlan[];
}
async function getSwapQuote(
inputMint: string,
outputMint: string,
amount: number,
slippageBps: number = 50
): Promise<QuoteResponse> {
const params = new URLSearchParams({
inputMint,
outputMint,
amount: amount.toString(),
slippageBps: slippageBps.toString(),
onlyDirectRoutes: "false",
asLegacyTransaction: "false",
});
const response = await fetch(`${JUPITER_API}/quote?${params}`);
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Jupiter quote failed: ${response.status}`);
return response.json();
}
async function executeSwap(
connection: Connection,
wallet: Keypair,
quote: QuoteResponse
): Promise<string> {
// Get serialized transaction
const swapResponse = await fetch(`${JUPITER_API}/swap`, {
method: "POST",
headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
body: JSON.stringify({
quoteResponse: quote,
userPublicKey: wallet.publicKey.toString(),
wrapAndUnwrapSol: true,
dynamicComputeUnitLimit: true,
prioritizationFeeLamports: "auto",
}),
});
const { swapTransaction } = await swapResponse.json();
const txBuf = Buffer.from(swapTransaction, "base64");
const tx = VersionedTransaction.deserialize(txBuf);
tx.sign([wallet]);
const signature = await connection.sendTransaction(tx, {
skipPreflight: false,
maxRetries: 2,
});
const confirmation = await connection.confirmTransaction(signature, "confirmed");
if (confirmation.value.err) {
throw new Error(`Swap failed: ${JSON.stringify(confirmation.value.err)}`);

data: Vec<u8>,
signer_seeds: &[&[&[u8]]],
) -> Result<()> {
let ix = anchor_lang::solana_program::instruction::Instruction {
program_id: *jupiter_program.key,
accounts: remaining_accounts
.iter()
.map(|acc| AccountMeta {
pubkey: *acc.key,
is_signer: acc.is_signer,
is_writable: acc.is_writable,

Ok(())
}

const MAX_STALENESS: u64 = 30; // seconds
pub fn get_sol_price(price_update: &Account<PriceUpdateV2>) -> Result<(i64, u32)> {
let feed_id = get_feed_id_from_hex(SOL_USD_FEED)?;
