## Pricing

from $2.00 / 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

## 🏍️ Velodrome Finance Scraper

Want [Velodrome](https://velodrome.finance/liquidity) liquidity pools in a spreadsheet? This scraper makes it easy.

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

This actor is **Velodrome Superchain only**. For Aerodrome on Base use [Aerodrome Finance Scraper](https://apify.com/dadhalfdev/aerodrome-finance-scraper). For every DEX at once use [vfat Pools Scraper](https://apify.com/dadhalfdev/vfat-pools-scraper) or [vfat Yields Scraper](https://apify.com/dadhalfdev/vfat-yields-scraper).

### 💡 Perfect for...

- **LPs:** Compare Basic Volatile, Basic Stable, and Concentrated (Slipstream) pools on Optimism and Superchain.
- **Dashboards:** Track TVL and APR across Velodrome chains.
- **Market research:** Slice Velodrome by chain or pool type.
- **Data analysts:** Export structured Velodrome pool data.
- **🤖 AI Agents:** Power bots and OpenClaw workflows with live Velodrome results.
- **📚 RAG Systems:** Feed pool titles 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 Velodrome `/liquidity` 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 Superchain chips and pool types as the Liquidity page.
- 🌐 **Superchain DEX:** Optimism, Unichain, Ink, Mode, Celo, and the rest of Velodrome (~600 incentivized pools).

### 📦 What's inside the data?

Every row includes all of these fields:

- **Core:** `id`, `url`, `title`, `protocol`, `chain`, `chain_id`, `pool_type`, `type`, `subtype`
- **Contracts:** `farm_address`, `pool_address`, `tokens`, `token_addresses`, `token_1`, `token_2`
- **Flags:** `fee`, `is_stable`, `is_nft`, `has_incentives`, `is_killed`
- **Liquidity:** `tvl_usd`, `active_tvl_usd`, `pool_tvl_usd`
- **Returns:** `apr`, `avg_apr`, `max_apr`, `lp_apr`, `staking_apr`, `fees_or_rewards_7d_usd`, `first_seen_at`

### 🚀 Quick start

**Option A — Input URL**

1. Open [Velodrome Liquidity](https://velodrome.finance/liquidity), apply filters, copy the URL — e.g. `https://velodrome.finance/liquidity?filters=Optimism,basicVolatile`.
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, and TVL / APR ranges.
3. Set `max_results` (up to 2000) and click **Start**.

- `input_url` always wins over filters when provided.
- Liquidity URL `filters=Optimism,basicVolatile` is mapped automatically.

## MCP server setup

```json

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).
