## Pricing

from $5.00 / 1,000 pool scoreds

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## DEX Pool Health Score

Give it liquidity pools on any of the 100+ networks GeckoTerminal covers (Base, Solana, Ethereum, BSC, Arbitrum, Sui, TON...) and get a **health score 0-100, a grade, the reasons, and plain-English flags** per pool, with optional OHLCV candles and TWAP/VWAP. Built for agents and bots that need to know whether a pool is safe to trade through before they size a position. No API keys.

### How the score is built (100 points)

| Part | Points | What earns them |
|---|---|---|
| `liquidity` | 30 | depth in USD; $250k+ scores full |
| `volumeConsistency` | 20 | 24h volume spread evenly across hours rather than one spike, scaled by size |
| `turnover` | 10 | 24h volume between 5% and 5× liquidity; far above that looks like wash trading |
| `age` | 15 | a week old earns full marks |
| `participation` | 15 | distinct buyers and sellers in 24h (150+ each scores full) |
| `balance` | 10 | buys and sells both present rather than one-sided flow |

Grade: `healthy` ≥ 70, `caution` ≥ 45, otherwise `high_risk`. `riskScore` is simply 100 − health.

Flags you may see: thin liquidity, last-hour volume spike, possible wash trading, pool only N hours old, one-sided flow, liquidity a tiny fraction of FDV.

### Output (one row per pool)

`network`, `pool`, `name`, `healthScore`, `riskScore`, `grade`, `parts{}`, `flags[]`, `liquidityUsd`, `volume1hUsd`, `volume6hUsd`, `volume24hUsd`, `fdvUsd`, `ageHours`, `tx24h{buys, sells, buyers, sellers}`, `priceChangePct{}`, `baseTokenPriceUsd`,
and with `includeOhlcv`: `timeframe`, `aggregate`, `candleCount`, `twap`, `vwap`, `candles[[ts, open, high, low, close, volumeUsd]...]` (oldest first).

A pool that cannot be read returns `{input, error}` instead and is not charged.

### Input

| Field | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `pools` | required | `network:address`, `network/address`, or a GeckoTerminal pool URL |
| `includeOhlcv` | `false` | candles + TWAP/VWAP |
| `timeframe` / `aggregate` / `candles` | `hour` / `1` / `100` | minute: 1, 5, 15 · hour: 1, 4, 12 · day: 1 · 10–500 candles |

Pools are fetched two at a time to respect GeckoTerminal's public rate limit; 20 pools take about 15 seconds.

Data and analytics only. Not financial advice.

### Cost

Pay per event, no subscription. You pay only for the pools a run scores.

| Event | Price |
|---|---|
| Run start, once per run | $0.001 |
| Pool scored | $0.005 |

Twenty pools cost about 10 cents. A pool that cannot be read is not charged.

### Run it from code

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/cryptoretirement~dex-pool-health-score/run-sync-get-dataset-items" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"pools":["base:0xd0b53D9277642d899DF5C87A3966A349A798F224"]}'
```

The response is the dataset as a JSON array. The API menu on this page has ready-made snippets for JavaScript, Python and MCP clients.

## `includeOhlcv` (type: `boolean`):

## MCP server setup

```json

            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,cryptoretirement/dex-pool-health-score"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
