## 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

## 🌾 vfat Yields Scraper

Want [vfat.io Yield](https://vfat.io/yield) farms in a spreadsheet? This scraper makes it easy.

Use **structured filters** (chain, protocol, farm type, TVL, APR, weekly rewards) — structured filters work better for AI agents — **or** paste an **`input_url`** from your browser once you've already filtered on vfat. When `input_url` is set it overrides the filters below. Either way, you get clean CSV/JSON with TVL, APR, rewards, tokens, and chain.

This actor is **yield farms only**. For the full liquidity catalog use [vfat Pools Scraper](https://apify.com/dadhalfdev/vfat-pools-scraper).

### 💡 Perfect for...

- **Farmers:** Compare Aerodrome, Velodrome, Thena, PancakeSwap incentives in one table.
- **Dashboards:** Track APR and weekly rewards across chains.
- **Market research:** Slice farms by protocol, chain, or volatile / stable / concentrated.
- **Data analysts:** Export structured DeFi farm data.
- **🤖 AI Agents:** Power bots and OpenClaw workflows with live vfat yield results.
- **📚 RAG Systems:** Feed farm 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 vfat `/yield` 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 chain, protocol, farm type, TVL, APR, and rewards controls as vfat.io Yield.
- 🌾 **Incentivized farms:** The Yield tab (~4.5k farms), not unincentivized pools.

### 📦 What's inside the data?

For every farm, you will get:

- **Core Details:** `id`, `url`, `title`, `protocol`, `chain`, `type`
- **Metrics:** `tvl_usd`, `apr`, `avg_apr`, `fees_or_rewards_7d_usd`
- **Contracts:** `farm_address`, `pool_address`, `tokens`, `token_addresses`

### 🚀 Quick start

**Option A — Input URL**

1. Open [vfat Yield](https://vfat.io/yield), apply filters, copy the URL — e.g. `https://vfat.io/yield?chains=8453&protocols=aerodrome`.
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, protocol, farm type, TVL / APR / rewards ranges.
3. Set `max_results` (up to 2000) and click **Start**.

echo '{}' |
apify call dadhalfdev/vfat-yields-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).
