Client library that interacts with MEV-Share node written in Python 3.10.
Based on MEV-Share Spec.
This repo assumes Python ^3.8. Preferred way is to use pyenv and poetry for managing Python versions and
dependencies.
Make sure to have both installed on your system. In case of other environment managers,
make sure to install the dependencies listed in pyproject.toml.
Create poetry environment and install dependencies (change directory to the root of the repo):
# If using pyenv and poetry
pyenv install 3.10
pyenv local 3.10
poetry installfrom client import MevShareClient
client = MevShareClient(api_url='https://relay.flashbots.net/',
sign_key='<your_sign_key>',
node_url='https://goerli.infura.io/v3/<your_infura_key>',
stream_url='https://mev-share.flashbots.net/')
)Prints a warning if any keyword argument is missing:
UserWarning: No api_url parameter provided.
warnings.warn("No api_url parameter provided.")Client library uses python typeddict to define the types of the data for static analysis.
Those are not enforced at runtime. So make sure to check the types of parameters and return values.
The types are defined in api/events.py.
The library consists of three main parts:
- RPC client that interacts with the MEV-Share node
- SSE client that listens for events from the MEV-Share Event Stream
- MevShareClient is a child class and inherits from both.
The library exposes the following public methods:
Subscribe to the event stream and listen for events of a specific type. The method expects type of event (string: 'transaction' or 'bundle') and a callback function that will be called when an event is received.
Callback function also receives a reference to the client object, so that it can be used to send transactions or bundles.

client = MevShareClient(stream_url=STREAM_URL)
res = asyncio.run(
client.listen_for_events('transaction', callback_function),
)Send a private transaction to the MEV-Share node. Hints and options are passed as a dictionary.

tx = asyncio.run(send_tx(raw_tx))
print(tx)Sends a bundle of transactions to the MEV-Share node. Hints and options are passed as a dictionary. See MEV-Share Docs for detailed descriptions of these parameters.
When sending bundles containing only signed transactions, we can share hints by uncommenting the privacy section.
