## Pricing

from $3.00 / 1,000 results

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## 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.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## ⚖️ Balancer Scraper

Want [Balancer](https://balancer.fi/pools) liquidity pools in a spreadsheet? This scraper makes it easy.

Use **structured filters** (chain, pool type, v2/v3, tags, min TVL) — structured filters work better for AI agents — **or** paste an **`input_url`** from Balancer once you've already filtered in the browser. When `input_url` is set it overrides the filters below.

Balancer currently has about **9,800 live pools** across Ethereum and L2s. This actor returns up to 2000 rows per run. Blacklisted pools and Sepolia are excluded.

### 💡 Perfect for...

- **LPs:** Compare Weighted, Stable, Gyro, CoW AMM, and AutoRange pools by TVL and APR.
- **Dashboards:** Track Balancer TVL, 24h volume, fees, and APR without clicking the table.
- **Market research:** Slice Balancer by chain, protocol version, or tags like incentivized / boosted / RWA.
- **Data analysts:** Export structured Balancer pool rows with public pool URLs.
- **🤖 AI Agents:** Power bots and OpenClaw workflows with live Balancer results.
- **📚 RAG Systems:** Feed pool titles, tokens, and metrics into retrieval pipelines.
- **🔗 AI Workflows:** Plug into LangChain, AutoGPT, CrewAI, and similar stacks.

### ✨ Why you'll love this scraper

- 🔗 **Input URL or Filters:** Paste a Balancer `/pools` URL (`input_url`) if you already filtered in the browser, or use structured filters (better for AI agents). `input_url` always wins when set.
- 🎯 **Website-Matched Filters:** Same networks, pool types, tags, min TVL, and TVL / Volume / APR sort as balancer.fi/pools.
- 🌐 **Multi-chain DEX:** Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, Polygon, Gnosis, and the rest of Balancer (~9,800 pools).

### 📦 What's inside the data?

Every row includes all of these fields:

- **Core:** `id`, `url`, `title`, `symbol`, `address`, `chain`, `chain_id`, `pool_type`, `type`, `protocol_version`
- **Tokens:** `tokens`, `token_addresses`, `token_weights`
- **Liquidity:** `tvl_usd`, `volume_24h_usd`, `fees_24h_usd`, `swap_fee`, `holders`, `total_shares`
- **Returns:** `apr`
- **Meta:** `tags`, `factory`, `created_at`

### 🚀 Quick start

**Option A — Input URL**

1. Open [Balancer pools](https://balancer.fi/pools), apply filters, copy the URL — e.g. `https://balancer.fi/pools?networks=MAINNET&poolTypes=WEIGHTED&minTvl=10000&orderBy=totalLiquidity`.
2. Paste it into `input_url`.
3. Set `max_results` and click **Start**.

**Option B — Structured filters (better for AI agents)**

1. Leave `input_url` empty.
2. Optionally pick chain, pool type, v2/v3, tag, and min TVL.
3. Set `max_results` (up to 2000) and click **Start**.

#### Notes on filters

- Prefer exact enum strings from the Apify input dropdowns (same labels as balancer.fi/pools).
- `input_url` always wins over filters when provided.
- Query params such as `networks=MAINNET`, `poolTypes=WEIGHTED`, `minTvl=10000`, and `orderBy=apr` are mapped automatically.
- Blacklisted pools are always excluded. Sepolia is excluded unless you open a Sepolia pool URL.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call dadhalfdev/balancer-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",

```

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).
