## Pricing

Pay per usage

This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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.

# README

## DeFi Liquidation Tracker

> Real-time on-chain liquidation events across **Aave V3, Compound V3, and Spark Protocol**. Track liquidator addresses, collateral seized, debt repaid, and USD value of every liquidation. Telegram alerts for whale-sized liquidations. No API key required.

---

### What It Does

Liquidations are the single most actionable on-chain signal — they mark forced position closures during volatility spikes, expose stressed leverage, and reveal who the active MEV liquidators are. This Actor:

- Decodes **Aave V3 `LiquidationCall`** events from the mainnet Pool contract
- Decodes **Compound V3 (Comet) `AbsorbCollateral`** events across USDC/WETH/USDT markets
- Decodes **Spark Protocol** (Aave V3 fork) liquidations
- Resolves token symbols + USD prices via Coingecko
- Returns the **liquidator address** (= MEV bot), borrower, collateral seized, debt repaid, USD valuation, Etherscan link
- Sends Telegram alerts for liquidations above a configurable USD threshold

---

### Why This Matters

- **Whale liquidation = market-moving event.** A $1M+ liquidation on Aave often precedes a sharp wick down as keeper bots dump seized collateral. This Actor surfaces those in real time.
- **MEV bot leaderboard.** The same handful of addresses absorb most liquidations. Watching their P&L is a direct signal of how lucrative liquidations are right now (= leverage stress).
- **Health-factor scanner cross-reference.** Pair this with `liquidationCall` history to backtest your own position safety margins.

---

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `includeAaveV3` | boolean | `true` | Include Aave V3 mainnet liquidations |
| `includeCompoundV3` | boolean | `true` | Include Compound V3 (USDC/WETH/USDT markets) |
| `includeSpark` | boolean | `true` | Include Spark Protocol |
| `lookbackBlocks` | integer | `7200` | Blocks to scan (~24h on Ethereum) |
| `minLiquidationUsd` | integer | `1000` | Filter out small liquidations |
| `sortBy` | string | `usd_desc` | `usd_desc`, `block_desc`, `block_asc` |
| `limit` | integer | `100` | Max events |
| `alertUsd` | integer | `0` | Telegram alert threshold ($). 0 = disabled |
| `telegramBotToken` | string (secret) | — | Bot token for alerts |
| `telegramChatId` | string | — | Chat ID |

#### Example: Last 24h whale liquidations
```json
{"lookbackBlocks": 7200, "minLiquidationUsd": 100000, "sortBy": "usd_desc", "limit": 20}
````

#### Example: Live monitor with $500K alerts

```json
{
  "lookbackBlocks": 600,
  "minLiquidationUsd": 50000,
  "alertUsd": 500000,
  "telegramBotToken": "...",
  "telegramChatId": "..."

### Pricing

- **$0.005 per liquidation event** returned

Examples:

- Last 24h, ≥ $10K: **~$0.50 - $2.00** (volatility-dependent)
- Scheduled hourly monitor with $50K floor: **~$10-50/month**

***

### Use Cases

**Risk management** — Set Telegram alerts for $1M+ liquidations on assets you hold:

```json
{"alertUsd": 1000000, "telegramBotToken": "...", "telegramChatId": "..."}
```

**MEV liquidator P\&L tracking** — Aggregate `liquidator` field to see who is absorbing the most:

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/gochujang~defi-liquidation-tracker/runs?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -d '{"lookbackBlocks": 50000, "minLiquidationUsd": 0, "limit": 1000}'
```

**Volatility post-mortem** — After a flash crash, pull every liquidation in the impacted window to reconstruct the cascade.
