Authentication for Go Requests

To securely access Solana gRPC (Yellowstone-compatible Geyser gRPC), authentication is required. Quicknode endpoints consist of two components: endpoint name et jeton. You must use these components to configure a gRPC client with authentication credentials.

There are two authentication methods:

1. Basic Authentication
2. x-token Authentication

This document provides implementation details for both methods.

Basic Authentication

Le getClientWithBasicAuth function demonstrates how to handle authentication using Basic Authentication. It encodes the credentials in base64 and adds them to the authorization en-tête.

Mise en œuvre

import (
	"context"
	"crypto/tls"
	"encoding/base64"
	"fmt"
	"log"

	"google.golang.org/grpc"
	"google.golang.org/grpc/credentials"
)

func getClientWithBasicAuth(endpoint, token string) (*grpc.ClientConn, error) {
	target := endpoint + ".solana-mainnet.quiknode.pro:10000"
	conn, err := grpc.Dial(target,
		grpc.WithTransportCredentials(credentials.NewTLS(&tls.Config{})),
		grpc.WithPerRPCCredentials(basicAuth{
			username: endpoint,
			password: token,
		}),
	)
	if err != nil {
		return nil, fmt.Errorf("unable to dial endpoint: %w", err)
	}
	return conn, nil
}

type basicAuth struct {
	username string
	password string
}

func (b basicAuth) GetRequestMetadata(ctx context.Context, in ...string) (map[string]string, error) {
	auth := b.username + ":" + b.password
	encoded := base64.StdEncoding.EncodeToString([]byte(auth))
	return map[string]string{"authorization": "Basic " + encoded}, nil
}

func (basicAuth) RequireTransportSecurity() bool {
	return true
}

Utilisation

conn, err := getClientWithBasicAuth("ENDPOINT_NAME", "TOKEN")
if err != nil {
	log.Fatalf("failed to connect: %v", err)
}
defer conn.Close()

---

x-token Authentication

Le getClientWithXToken function demonstrates how to authenticate using an x-token. This method attaches the token to the x-token header of each request.

Mise en œuvre

import (
	"context"
	"crypto/tls"
	"fmt"
	"log"

	"google.golang.org/grpc"
	"google.golang.org/grpc/credentials"
)

func getClientWithXToken(endpoint, token string) (*grpc.ClientConn, error) {
	target := endpoint + ".solana-mainnet.quiknode.pro:10000"
	conn, err := grpc.Dial(target,
		grpc.WithTransportCredentials(credentials.NewTLS(&tls.Config{})),
		grpc.WithPerRPCCredentials(xTokenAuth{
			token: token,
		}),
	)
	if err != nil {
		return nil, fmt.Errorf("unable to dial endpoint: %w", err)
	}
	return conn, nil
}

type xTokenAuth struct {
	token string
}

func (x xTokenAuth) GetRequestMetadata(ctx context.Context, uri ...string) (map[string]string, error) {
	return map[string]string{"x-token": x.token}, nil
}

func (xTokenAuth) RequireTransportSecurity() bool {
	return true
}

Utilisation

conn, err := getClientWithXToken("ENDPOINT_NAME", "TOKEN")
if err != nil {
	log.Fatalf("failed to connect: %v", err)
}
defer conn.Close()

Remarque :

To learn how to split your Solana gRPC-enabled URL into endpoint et jeton, refer to this section - Endpoint and Token Configuration

The below section provides a step-by-step process to set up a Go environment for making Solana gRPC requests. The instructions include setting up Go, configuring dependencies, and implementing authentication mechanisms.

Initiating the Go Project for Solana gRPC

Step 1: Create a New Project Directory

Create a dedicated directory for your Solana gRPC project and navigate into it:

mkdir yellowstone-grpc
cd yellowstone-grpc

Step 2: Initialize a Go Module

Initialize a new Go module for your project:

go mod init yellowstone-grpc # directory name

Step 3: Install Required Dependencies

Install the necessary Go dependencies for gRPC and Protocol Buffers:

go get google.golang.org/grpc
go get google.golang.org/protobuf

Step 4: Organize Your Project Directory

First, create a proto folder to store the .pb.go files:

mkdir proto

You can get the pre-generated files from Yellowstone gRPC official Github Repo. Download all the three files and place the following files into the proto directory:

< br />

• geyser_pb.go
• geyser_grpc.pb.go
• solana_storage_pb.go

The project structure might look like this:

yellowstone-grpc/
├── go.mod
├── go.sum
├── proto/
│   ├── geyser_pb.go
│   ├── geyser_grpc.pb.go
│   ├── solana_storage_pb.go

Step 5: Create a Main Go File

Set up a main Go file for implementing client or server logic:

touch main.go

You can copy and paste the following sample code into your main.go file to get started. The example demonstrates how to interact with a gRPC service to fetch the latest blockhash information.

package main

import (
	"context"
	"crypto/tls"
	"fmt"
	"log"
	"time"
	// "encoding/json"
	// "github.com/mr-tron/base58"

	pb "yellowstone-grpc/proto" // proto directory path

	"google.golang.org/grpc"
	"google.golang.org/grpc/credentials"
	"google.golang.org/grpc/encoding/gzip"
	"google.golang.org/grpc/keepalive"
)

var (
	endpoint = "example-guide-demo.solana-mainnet.quiknode.pro:10000"
	token    = "123456789abcdefghijklmnopquerst"
)

var kacp = keepalive.ClientParameters{
	Time:                10 * time.Second,
	Timeout:             time.Second,
	PermitWithoutStream: true,
}

// tokenAuth implements the credentials.PerRPCCredentials interface
type tokenAuth struct {
	token string
}

func (t tokenAuth) GetRequestMetadata(ctx context.Context, in ...string) (map[string]string, error) {
	return map[string]string{"x-token": t.token}, nil
}

func (tokenAuth) RequireTransportSecurity() bool {
	return true
}

func main() {
	opts := []grpc.DialOption{
		grpc.WithTransportCredentials(credentials.NewTLS(&tls.Config{})),
		grpc.WithKeepaliveParams(kacp),
		grpc.WithDefaultCallOptions(grpc.MaxCallRecvMsgSize(1024*1024*1024), grpc.UseCompressor(gzip.Name)),
		grpc.WithPerRPCCredentials(tokenAuth{token: token}),
	}

	conn, err := grpc.Dial(endpoint, opts...)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("Failed to connect: %v", err)
	}
	defer conn.Close()

	client := pb.NewGeyserClient(conn)

	ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 10*time.Second)
	defer cancel()

	latestBlockHash, err := client.GetLatestBlockhash(ctx, &pb.GetLatestBlockhashRequest{})
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("Failed to get latest blockhash: %v", err)
	}

	fmt.Printf("Latest Blockhash Information: ")
	fmt.Printf("  Blockhash: %+v", latestBlockHash)
}

Step 6: Run Your Code

Before running your code, clean up and ensure all dependencies are correctly resolved:

go mod tidy

Build and run the project using:

lancez main.go
