Gas Station API - Shinami Developer Documentation

Overview

You’ll find API endpoints and key usage notes below. If you ever need help you can reach out to us. Movement is a fork of Aptos, so developing for both of these chains is very similar. If you’re getting started with Movement, they have some developer docs to help.

Use Cases

Shinami’s Gas Station API lets you easily sponsor transactions for your users. MOVE is pulled from a fund you create to power these transactions, managed in Shinami’s dashboard. Shinami facilitates sponsored transactions based on logic determined by you, the app developer. Examples include sponsoring each user’s initial transaction(s) for better onboarding and sponsoring transactions of a particular type that you want to encourage.

Authentication, Rate Limits, and Error Handling

Authentication You authenticate via an access key passed in a header "X-Api-Key: ACCESS_KEY") or in the request url (https://api.us1.shinami.com/movement/gas/v1/ACCESS_KEY). We recommend using a request header and not putting access keys in your request URLs for reduced visibility (in logs, etc). These steps are done automatically by our TypeScript SDK. See our Authentication and API Keys guide for how to set up a Gas-Station access key.

Call Shinami’s Gas Station from your backend serverShinami Gas Station does not support CORS requests, so you will get a CORS error if you make requests from your frontend. Use your backend server to integrate with Shinami’s Gas Station. This limits exposure of your sponsorship access keys. If these keys are leaked, bad actors have the ability to sponsor transactions from your fund until it has been drained or you disable the key in our dashboard. For a tutorial on how to combine frontend signing with backend sponsorship, see our Frontend signing + backend sponsorship tutorial.

Rate Limits When you surpass the QPS limit for a key, we return a JSON-RPC error code -32010. We recommend implementing retries with a backoff to handle any rate limits errors that arise. You can also consider batching multiple Move calls into a Move script. You can also adjust the rate limits of your keys to better balance your QPS allotment across your keys. Error Handling See our Error Reference for guidance on the errors you may receive from our services, including a section on errors specific to the Movement Gas Station API.

Send your first request

For a quick sample request that doesn’t require building a transaction, ask for the balance of the fund your access key is tied to with gas_getFund.

Tutorials with E2E sample code

Check out our TypeScript tutorial for more code samples and details on the end-to-end flow of creating, sponsoring, and executing a transaction. Also, since our Gas Station does not support CORS (browser) requests for security reasons, our Frontend signing + backend sponsorship tutorial .

Methods

gas_sponsorTransaction

Sponsor a transaction by having your Shinami Gas Station fund act as the feePayer. Important notes

Gas Station doesn’t support CORS, so you must send requests from your backend. For an overview of all the ways to integrate frontend signing with backend sponsorship, see our Frontend Signing + Backend Sponsorship guide, including tips on serializing and deserializing the necessary data types as you pass them between FE and BE.
You need to create a Gas Station fund in your Shinami dashboard before you create an access key. When you create a gas station API access key, you assign it to a network (e.g. Testnet) and a fund on that network. For how to do that and find the deposit address, see our Movement Gas Station Help Center page.
Shinami sponsorship fees: See our Movement Billing FAQ.
Orderless transactions: We currently don’t support sponsoring orderless transactions but plan to add this support in the future. If you need this support, please reach out to us at support@shinami.com.

Request Parameters

Name	Type	Description
rawTransaction	TypeScript SDK SimpleTransaction \| MultiAgentTransaction cURL String \| byte array	TypeScript SDK An AnyRawTransaction (the result of a successful call to `aptos.transaction.build.simple()` or `aptos.transaction.build.multiAgent()`). For a code example of building and sponsoring a transaction, see the Appendix. cURL BCS-serialized `RawTransaction` component of an AnyRawTransaction. Can be passed either as an unsigned byte array or a hex string. Important: the transaction’s expiration timestamp must be set to a time within the next hour, in seconds. Otherwise, our service will not sponsor the transaction.
cURL-only secondarySignerAddresses	String[]	Optional array of additional signer addresses. Must be in the exact order. Required for multi-agent transactions.

Example Request Template The TypeScript example uses the Shinami Clients SDK, which you can install with:

npm install @shinami/clients

TypeScript SDK Response Fields

Note: transaction.feePayerAddress is updated in-place upon a successful return.

Type	Description
AccountAuthenticator	AccountAuthenticator of the sponsor, to be included in the request to submit the transaction to the chain.

cURL Response Fields

Name	Type	Description
feePayer.address	String	Fee payer account address. If desired you can use this to set the transaction’s `feePayerAddress` before obtaining sender and any secondary signer signatures.
feePayer.signature	Unsigned byte array	BCS-serialized AccountAuthenticator of the fee payer, as an array of unsigned bytes.

gas_sponsorAndSubmitSignedTransaction

This method first sponsors a transaction with your Shinami Gas Station fund and then submits the transaction to a Movement fullnode for execution. Therefore, you need to obtain all necessary signatures - with wildcard fee payer address 0x0 - before calling this method. Important notes

Gas Station doesn’t support CORS, so you must send requests from your backend. For an overview of all the ways to integrate frontend signing with backend sponsorship, see our Frontend Signing + Backend Sponsorship guide, including tips on serializing and deserializing the necessary data types as you pass them between FE and BE.
You need to create a Gas Station fund in your Shinami dashboard before you create an access key. When you create a gas station API access key, you assign it to a network (e.g. Testnet) and a fund on that network. For how to do that and find the deposit address, see our Movement Gas Station Help Center page.
Shinami sponsorship fees: See our Movement Billing FAQ.
Orderless transactions: We currently don’t support sponsoring orderless transactions but plan to add this support in the future. If you need this support, please reach out to us at support@shinami.com.

Response Fields

Type	Description
pendingTransactionResponse	The submitted transaction waiting in the Fullnode’s mempool. Same as PendingTransactionResponse .

gas_getFund

Get the balance for the Gas Station fund tied to the request’s API access key. When you create a Gas Station access key, you link it to exactly one Gas Station fund. So, when you make this request, we return the balance for the fund that’s tied to the access key you use for the request. To check which fund a Gas Station access key is tied too, see the Movement Gas Station FAQ page of our Help Center Request Parameters None. Example Request Template The TypeScript example uses the Shinami Clients SDK, which you can install with:

npm install @shinami/clients

Replace all instances of {{name}} with the actual value for that name.

import { GasStationClient } from "@shinami/clients/aptos";

const gasStationClient = new GasStationClient("{{gasStationAccessKey}}");

const fundInfo = await gasStationClient.getFund();

}

Response Fields

Name	Type	Description
name	string	The name of the fund tied to this API access key.
network	string	The network the fund is associated with.
balance	integer	Available balance of the the fund (100000000 = 1 MOVE).
inFlight	integer	The portion of the fund balance that is currently locked for use with active sponsorships (100000000 = 1 MOVE).
depositAddress	string \| null	A string representing a Movement address if a deposit address has been created for the fund. null if no deposit address has been created. If you do not have a deposit address, see how to generate one in the Movement Gas Station FAQ page in our Help Center .

gas_encodeAndSponsorTransaction

Sponsors a JSON transaction request by providing fee payer info, and encodes it into message bytes for signing. Intended to be used only by clients without BCS encoding capability. If you’re using the Aptos TypeScript SDK you should use sponsorTransaction instead. The full transaction flow for using this API is as follows:

Construct the transaction JSON.
Call this API to get the encoded message bytes for signing, as well as fee payer address and signature.
Sender (and any secondary signers) sign the message bytes.
Submit the transaction JSON together with all signatures to a Movement fullnode for execution (an example of this call and response is shown in the cURL - submit sponsored tx example tabs).

Important notes

Gas Station doesn’t support CORS, so you must send requests from your backend. For an overview of all the ways to integrate frontend signing with backend sponsorship, see our Frontend Signing + Backend Sponsorship guide, including tips on serializing and deserializing the necessary data types as you pass them between FE and BE.
You need to create a Gas Station fund in your Shinami dashboard before you create an access key. When you create a gas station API access key, you assign it to a network (e.g. Testnet) and a fund on that network. For how to do that and find the deposit address, see our Movement Gas Station Help Center page.
Shinami sponsorship fees: See our Movement Billing FAQ.

Request Parameters

Name	Type	Description
submission	object	EncodeSubmissionRequest , same as the request body on Movement fullnode REST API `/transactions/encode_submission` (see documentation here). Important: the transaction’s expiration timestamp must be set to a time within the next hour, in seconds. Otherwise, our service will not sponsor the transaction.

Response Fields

Name	Type	Description
transactionSigningMessage	Unsigned byte array	Encoded message bytes for the transaction. To be signed by the sender and all secondary signers.
feePayerAddress	Hex string	Fee payer account address. To be used to fill in `signature.fee_payer_address` property in the JSON transaction submission API.
feePayerSignature	object	AccountSignature of the fee payer. To be used to fill in `signature.fee_payer_signer` property in the JSON transaction submission API.

Appendix

This section shows an example of how to build, sponsor, sign, and submit a simple transaction using the Shinami Clients SDK and the Aptos TS SDK. For a high-level image of the sponsorship flow see here. For multiple end-to-end examples, see our Gas Station TypeScript Tutorial. Key requirements

Build your transaction with the fee payer address set to 0x0 (this is what happens when you set withFeePayer: true as shown below). The sender and any secondary signers can sign the transaction with this address, or with the actual feePayer’s address you obtain from Shinami upon a successful sponsorship.
The transaction’s expiration timestamp must be set to a time within the next hour (as is required by our Gas Station). When you control the generation of the sender’s signature, as with an embedded wallet you control for the user, you can likely use the SDK default, which is 20 seconds from now. When you need to wait on a signature you don’t control, as with a connected wallet where the user must approve a signing message, you can explicitly set it as in the example below.

Replace all instances of {{name}} with the actual value for that name.

// 1. Import the required dependencies
import { GasStationClient } from "@shinami/clients/aptos";
import { Account, Aptos, AptosConfig, Network } from "@aptos-labs/ts-sdk";

// 2. Create a Movement client 
const config = new AptosConfig({
    network: Network.CUSTOM,
    fullnode: 'https://testnet.movementnetwork.xyz/v1',
    faucet: 'https://faucet.testnet.movementnetwork.xyz/',
});
const movementClient = new Aptos(config);

// 3. Generate a sender. In production, you won't be using a newly generated account
//  each time. The sender will often be a wallet the user connected or an embedded
//  wallet you control for the user. This just makes for a shorter example.
const sender = Account.generate({});

// 4. Create a Shinami Gas Station client for sponsoring our transactions.
const SHINAMI_TESTNET_GAS_KEY = "{{MOVEMENT_TESTNET_GAS_STATION_ACCESS_KEY}}";
const gasStationClient = new GasStationClient(SHINAMI_TESTNET_GAS_KEY);

// 5. Build a transaction
// This transaction makes a function call to a module we've deployed on Testnet
// You may be able to use the SDK's default expiration (20 seconds at time of writing) 
// but you must set the expiration time less than 1 hour from now.
const FIVE_MINUTES_FROM_NOW_IN_SECONDS = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000) + (5 * 60);
const transaction = await movementClient.transaction.build.simple({
    sender: sender.accountAddress,
    withFeePayer: true,
    data: {
        function: "0xe56b2729723446cd0836a7d1273809491030ccf2ec9935d598bfdf0bffee4486::message::set_message",
        functionArguments: ["test message"]
    },
    options: {
        expireTimestamp: FIVE_MINUTES_FROM_NOW_IN_SECONDS
    }
});

// 6. Obtain the sender's signature
const senderAuthenticator = movementClient.transaction.sign({
    signer: sender,
    transaction
});

//
// OPTION 1: SPONSOR AND SUBMIT IN ONE REQUEST
//

// 7a. Ask Shinami to sponsor and submit the transaction
//    To run this version, un-comment it and comment out the code for 7b and 7b.2
// const pendingTx = await gasStationClient.sponsorAndSubmitSignedTransaction(
//     transaction,
//     senderAuthenticator
// );

//
// OPTION 2: SPONSOR AND SUBMIT IN TWO REQUESTS
//

// 7b. Send the transaction to Shinami for sponsorship
const feePayerAuthenticator = await gasStationClient.sponsorTransaction(transaction);

// Note that our SDK updates the transaction's feePayer address on a successful sponsorship.
// The sender and any secondary signers can sign the transaction with the actual feePayer's
// address or with the special `0x0` feePayer address given when the feePayer transaction is
// built (which we do above). However, the transaction must be submitted with the actual
// feePayer's address. If you don't use our TS SDK, you must explictly set it with the
// `feePayer.address` value we return when you ask for a sponsorship.
console.log("transaction.feePayerAddress post-sponsorship:", transaction.feePayerAddress?.bcsToHex().toString());

// 7b.2. Submit the transaction to the Movement blockchain
const pendingTx = await movementClient.transaction.submit.simple({
    transaction,
    senderAuthenticator,
    feePayerAuthenticator,
});

// 8. Poll the Movemnent node until the transaction is finalized 
const executedTransaction = await movementClient.waitForTransaction({
    transactionHash: pendingTx.hash
});
console.log("Transaction hash:", executedTransaction.hash);
console.log("Transaction status:", executedTransaction.vm_status);
console.log("Explorer link:", `https://explorer.movementnetwork.xyz/txn/${executedTransaction.hash}?network=bardock+testnet`);
