# DeFi DEX Volume, Fees & Revenue Scraper (DefiLlama) (`foxlabs/defillama-volume-fees`) Actor
Export clean DeFi leaderboards from the free DefiLlama API: DEX trading volume, protocol fees, protocol revenue and TVL — flattened to sortable CSV/Excel rows. Filter by chain, category, min volume; sort by 24h/7d/30d or growth. No API key, no proxy, runs in seconds, built for scheduled feeds.

## What's an Apify Actor?
Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.
In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):
```bash
npm install apify-client
```
In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):
```bash
pip install apify-client
```
In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):
````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash
In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).
If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).
For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.
For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).
# README
## DeFi DEX Volume, Fees & Revenue Scraper (DefiLlama)
**Four DeFi leaderboards, one actor — DEX trading volume, protocol fees, protocol revenue, and TVL — as clean, sortable CSV/Excel rows.**
Built on the **free official [DefiLlama](https://defillama.com) API**. It pulls the full protocol snapshot, flattens the deeply nested JSON into flat rows, and lets you filter by chain, category and minimum size, then sort by 24h/7d/30d value or growth. **No API key, no proxy, runs in seconds** — perfect for scheduled hourly/daily feeds into a sheet, dashboard, bot or model.
---
### What you can pull
| Dataset | What it ranks | Top buyers |
|---|---|---|
| **DEX trading volume** | ~1,100 DEXs by 24h / 7d / 30d volume + growth | traders, market makers, analysts |
| **Protocol fees** | ~2,300 protocols by fees generated | revenue researchers, token analysts |
| **Protocol revenue** | protocols by revenue (fees kept by the protocol) | investors, treasury, fundamental research |
| **TVL** | ~5,000+ protocols by total value locked | DeFi dashboards, risk desks |
Every row is flat and spreadsheet-ready: rank, protocol, category, chain(s), 24h/7d/30d value, 24h/7d/30d % change, logo, and the DefiLlama URL.
---
### Quick start
```json
{
"dataset": "dex_volume",
"chain": "",
"category": "",
"minValue24h": 1000000,
"sortBy": "total24h",
"maxResults": 500
}
````
**Presets to try:**
- **Top DEXs by 24h volume** — `dataset: dex_volume`, `sortBy: total24h`
- **Highest-revenue protocols (last 30d)** — `dataset: revenue`, `sortBy: total30d`
- **Fastest-growing DEXs this week** — `dataset: dex_volume`, `sortBy: change_7d`, `minValue24h: 1000000`
- **Solana DEX leaderboard** — `dataset: dex_volume`, `chain: Solana`
- **Biggest protocols by TVL** — `dataset: tvl`, `sortBy: total24h`
No API key, no proxy, no setup.
***
### Why this actor
- **Free source, zero cost to run** — wraps DefiLlama's official public API; no key, no headless browser, no proxy. Runs in seconds.
- **Flat & clean** — the raw API returns deeply nested snapshots; this hands you tidy rows ready for CSV / Excel / Google Sheets / a database.
- **Filter + sort built in** — chain, category, min size, and 5 sort metrics, so you export exactly the leaderboard you want.
- **Built for recurring feeds** — schedule it hourly/daily (Apify Scheduler + webhooks) to keep a live DeFi dataset fresh.
> Data is sourced from DefiLlama's public API and is provided as-is for research and analytics.
***
### Changelog
#### 0.1.0 — 2026-06-04
- Initial release: DEX volume, protocol fees, protocol revenue and TVL leaderboards from the free DefiLlama API — chain/category/min filters, 5 sort metrics, flat CSV/Excel rows, no API key or proxy.

# Actor input Schema
## `dataset` (type: `string`):
Which DeFi leaderboard to export.
## `chain` (type: `string`):
Keep only protocols active on this chain (e.g. "Ethereum", "Solana", "Arbitrum", "Base", "BSC"). Leave empty for all chains.
## `category` (type: `string`):
Keep only this protocol category (e.g. "Dexs", "Lending", "Derivatives", "Liquid Staking"). Leave empty for all categories.
## `minValue24h` (type: `integer`):
Drop protocols whose 24h value (volume/fees/revenue/TVL depending on dataset) is below this USD threshold. 0 = no filter.
## `sortBy` (type: `string`):
Rank the leaderboard by this metric (descending).
## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):
Cap the number of rows returned (after filtering & sorting). The full lists are ~1,100 DEXs / ~2,300 fee protocols / ~5,000 TVL protocols.
## Actor input object example
```json
{
"dataset": "dex_volume",
"chain": "",
"category": "",
"minValue24h": 0,
"sortBy": "total24h",
"maxResults": 500

# API
You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.
## JavaScript example
```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';
// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
token: '',
});
// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
"dataset": "dex_volume",
"minValue24h": 0,
"sortBy": "total24h",
"maxResults": 500
};
// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("foxlabs/defillama-volume-fees").call(input);
// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
console.dir(item);
});

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {
"dataset": "dex_volume",

"sortBy": "total24h",
"maxResults": 500,
}
# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("foxlabs/defillama-volume-fees").call(run_input=run_input)
# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print("💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/" + run["defaultDatasetId"])
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
