## 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?

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

## 🏍️ 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.

## CLI example

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

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {

    }
}
```

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).
