Getting Started

This guide covers the current Party Bots workflow: install on Windows, run as a background service, set credentials, and activate your license.

What you get

Your package includes the Party Bots Windows Service runtime and local dashboard.

Typical local endpoints in the current build are:

UI: http://localhost:5173
API/runtime health: http://localhost:8000/status

1. Install and run

Download the latest Windows build from the home page, extract it, and run start.ps1.

2. Open the dashboard

Open http://localhost:5173 and confirm the UI can reach the local runtime.

If the dashboard cannot connect, confirm the Windows Service/runtime process is running and http://localhost:8000/status responds.

3. Configure credentials

Party Bots uses your Swyftx credentials to operate. Configure:

SWYFTX_APIKEY
SWYFTX_JWT

Depending on your deployment, these are provided through the app settings flow and/or environment variables.

4. Activate your license

Paste your Party Bots license key into the app to activate premium features.

If you lost your key, use the License Retrieval page to recover it using your purchase email and a one-time verification code.

5. Start in safe mode

Run in demo or paper mode first. Do not treat first-run behavior as production-ready capital deployment.

Operational guardrails in the current app are designed around staged activation and safer defaults, but you are still responsible for how and when you enable any live automation.

6. Monitor runtime health

Before scaling up:

Check recent trades
Check observability and logs
Confirm strategy behavior is stable across market conditions

Troubleshooting

API unavailable: verify your API process is running and reachable
License inactive: re-enter the key or retrieve it again
Exchange auth errors: rotate and reapply Swyftx credentials

Party Bots should be treated as an execution tool, not a guarantee of profitability.
