DefiLlama DEX Volume, Fees, Revenue & TVL Scraper

Need clean, sortable DeFi market data — DEX trading volume, protocol fees, revenue and TVL — without wrangling a deeply nested crypto API? This Actor turns the free DefiLlama API into flat, ready-to-use leaderboard rows: ~1,200 DEXs, ~2,400 fee-earning protocols and ~7,800 TVL protocols, each with 24h / 7d / 30d values and growth — one clean row per protocol, straight to JSON / CSV / Excel / API.

No API key, no login, no proxy, no fragile HTML scraping. It reads DefiLlama's official public endpoints, so it runs in a few seconds and is fully deterministic — built for scheduled, recurring pulls into a warehouse or dashboard.

• 📊 4 leaderboards in one Actor — DEX volume, protocol fees, protocol revenue, and TVL
• ⚡ No key, no proxy, no cost to the source — free DefiLlama API, runs in seconds
• 🔗 Filter & rank — by chain (Ethereum, Solana, Base…), category (Dexs, Lending, Derivatives…), or min 24h value; sort by value or growth
• 🔁 Deterministic & cheap — one flat dataset per run, ideal for scheduled feeds and BI

Quick start (API)

Get the top 100 Ethereum DEXs by 24h trading volume in one call:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/foxlabs~defillama-volume-fees/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "dataset": "dex_volume", "chain": "Ethereum", "sortBy": "total24h", "maxResults": 100 }'

Prefer no code? Open the Input tab, pick a dataset, set your filters, and click Start — then download the results.

Input & filters

• Dataset — pick one leaderboard: DEX trading volume, protocol fees, protocol revenue, or TVL (total value locked).
• Chain (optional) — keep only protocols active on a chain (e.g. Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum, Base, BSC). Empty = all chains. Case-insensitive.
• Category (optional) — keep one DefiLlama category (e.g. Dexs, Lending, Derivatives, Liquid Staking). Empty = all. Case-insensitive.
• Min 24h value (USD) — drop protocols whose 24h metric (volume/fees/revenue/TVL depending on the dataset) is below this threshold. 0 = no filter.
• Sort by — rank by 24h / 7d / 30d value, or by 24h / 7d growth %.
• Max results — cap rows after filtering & sorting, up to 100,000. The full lists are ~1,200 DEXs / ~2,400 fee protocols / ~7,800 TVL protocols.

Use cases

• Recurring market-data feed. Schedule a daily/hourly run and pipe a clean volume/fees/revenue/TVL leaderboard into your warehouse, Google Sheet or database — no key management, no scraper maintenance.
• Trading & quant signals. Track 24h/7d fee and volume momentum (change1dPct, change7dPct) to spot protocols heating up or cooling off, and rank by growth instead of size.
• Dashboards & BI. Feed a flat, typed table straight into Looker / Metabase / Grafana. Everything is already flattened — no JSON reshaping.
• Protocol & competitor monitoring. Follow a single chain or category (e.g. Derivatives on Arbitrum) and watch how the leaders move week over week.
• Research & market sizing. Pull the full fees or revenue leaderboard to size a sector, compare fee capture across categories, and identify who actually earns.
• Content & newsletter automation. Auto-generate "top movers" or "biggest DEXs this week" tables for a DeFi newsletter, Discord bot or site widget.

Performance & throughput

Each run makes just 1–2 lightweight calls to the DefiLlama API, normalises the response locally, then filters, sorts and caps — so a full leaderboard returns in a few seconds. There are no API keys, proxies or rate-limit tuning to manage; throughput is bounded only by your Apify plan. Output is fully deterministic, which makes it ideal for scheduled runs and diff-based pipelines.

Integrations

JavaScript (apify-client):

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';
const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN' });
const run = await client.actor('foxlabs/defillama-volume-fees').call({
  dataset: 'dex_volume', chain: 'Ethereum', sortBy: 'total24h', maxResults: 100,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items[0].name, items[0].value24h);

Python (apify-client):

from apify_client import ApifyClient
client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("foxlabs/defillama-volume-fees").call(run_input={
    "dataset": "fees", "minValue24h": 100000, "sortBy": "total7d", "maxResults": 1000,
})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item["rank"], item["name"], item["value24h"])

Also works with Make / n8n / Zapier (Apify app → run this Actor, map the input), scheduled runs, webhooks, and the Apify MCP server so AI agents can pull live DeFi leaderboards on demand.

Data quality

• Coverage (verified 2026-07-05): ~1,193 DEXs, ~2,365 fee/revenue protocols, ~7,778 TVL protocols — the whole DefiLlama universe for each dataset, not a sample.
• rank, dataset, name, category, dominantChain, chainsText, url and generatedAtIso are populated on every row.
• value24h is present for protocols that reported in the period; dormant protocols may show null and sort to the bottom.
• value7d / value30d are populated for the volume / fees / revenue datasets, and are null for the tvl dataset (DefiLlama's TVL endpoint returns a point-in-time value plus 24h/7d change only).
• Growth fields (change*Pct) can be null when the source hasn't computed them — most commonly change30dPct on TVL rows.

All numbers come straight from DefiLlama — never fabricated. Missing values are null, never a guess.

Pricing

Billed via Apify (pay per result on this Actor's store page). The underlying DefiLlama API is free, and the Actor uses no proxies or paid third-party services, so there are no hidden costs beyond Apify usage. There's an Apify free tier to evaluate the full feature set before you scale.

FAQ

Do I need a DefiLlama API key or account? No. It uses the free public API — no key, no login, no proxy.

What's the difference between fees and revenue? DefiLlama's fees = total fees paid by users; revenue = the portion kept by the protocol/treasury (a subset of fees). Both come from the same endpoint — revenue is the fees endpoint with a dailyRevenue data type.

What does value24h actually mean? It depends on the dataset: 24h DEX volume, 24h fees, 24h revenue, or current TVL — always in USD.

How fresh is the data? Each run pulls live from DefiLlama at request time, so numbers reflect the moment you run it and change continuously.

Which chains and categories can I filter by? Any chain DefiLlama tracks (Ethereum, Solana, Base, Arbitrum, BSC…) and any category (Dexs, Lending, Derivatives, Liquid Staking, Bridge, CDP…). Matching is case-insensitive.

Why are value7d / value30d empty for TVL? DefiLlama's TVL endpoint returns a point-in-time value with 24h/7d change only — there is no 7d/30d cumulative for TVL, so those fields are null.

Can I pull every protocol in one run? Yes — set maxResults up to 100,000; the full lists are well under that.

What export formats are available? JSON, CSV, Excel, or via the Apify API/integrations.

Is there a rate limit? No key or limit from us — throughput is bounded only by your Apify plan. The Actor makes only 1–2 calls to DefiLlama per run, well within fair use.

Can I schedule it? Yes. Output is deterministic, so it's ideal for hourly/daily Apify Schedules feeding a dashboard or warehouse.

Troubleshooting

• 0 results → your filters are too narrow. Check chain/category spelling (DefiLlama uses specific labels like BSC, OP Mainnet), lower minValue24h, or clear a filter.
• A chain filter returns nothing → use DefiLlama's exact chain label. Run once with no chain filter and copy a value from chainsText.
• Sorting TVL by 7d/30d gives ties → value7d/value30d are null for the tvl dataset. Sort TVL by total24h (= TVL), change_1d or change_7d instead.
• Fewer rows than expected → you hit the maxResults cap, or minValue24h removed small protocols. Raise the cap / lower the threshold.

Notes, limits & legal (honest)

• Source & attribution. All data comes from the public DefiLlama API (api.llama.fi). This Actor is a normalisation layer — the numbers are DefiLlama's. Please credit DefiLlama as the data source in any product you build on it.
• Not affiliated with DefiLlama. This Actor is an independent client of their public API.
• Point-in-time. Values reflect the instant of the run and change continuously; the sample above is illustrative.
• TVL dataset includes non-DeFi entries. DefiLlama's /protocols feed contains some centralized-exchange reserve entries (category CEX) and other non-DeFi items. Filter by category if you want DeFi protocols only.
• "Off Chain" rows. Some volume/fees entries (e.g. prediction markets, stablecoin issuers) are tagged with chain Off Chain — that's DefiLlama's classification, not a bug.
• No personal data. This is protocol-level market data; it contains no personal information.
