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

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. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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 MCap/TVL Screener > Screens 7,000+ DeFi protocols by Market Cap to TVL ratio — a valuation metric for identifying potentially undervalued or overvalued DeFi tokens. No API key required. ### ⚡ Run in 30 seconds Click **Start** with default settings — returns the top 100 DeFi protocols sorted by MCap/TVL ratio. MCap/TVL < 1 often signals undervaluation; > 3 signals overvaluation. Includes protocol name, chain, TVL, market cap, and ratio. No API key required. --- ### What It Does Computes the **MCap/TVL ratio** for every DeFi protocol tracked by DefiLlama and returns: | List | Sorted By | |------|-----------| | `low_mcap_tvl` | Lowest ratio (cheapest relative to TVL) | | `high_mcap_tvl` | Highest ratio (most premium relative to TVL) | | `highest_tvl` | Largest by total value locked | --- ### MCap/TVL Interpretation | Ratio | Interpretation | |-------|---------------| | < 0.1 | Token trades far below its TVL — deep value or distressed | | 0.1–1.0 | Discount to TVL — could indicate undervaluation | | 1.0–3.0 | Typical range for established DeFi protocols | | 3.0–10.0 | Premium — market prices in growth expectations | | > 10.0 | High premium — may be overvalued relative to TVL | **Note:** Low MCap/TVL doesn't always mean "buy" — a protocol with low TVL retention, poor revenue, or security risk may trade at a discount for good reason. --- ### Output Fields | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `mcap_tvl_ratio` | Market Cap / TVL | | `mcap_usd` | Token market cap in USD | | `tvl_usd` | Total value locked in USD | | `change_tvl_1d_pct` | TVL change last 24h | | `change_tvl_7d_pct` | TVL change last 7 days | | `category` | DeFi category (Lending, DEX, etc.) | --- ### Input | Field | Default | Description | |-------|---------|-------------| | `minTvlUsdM` | 10 | Min TVL in millions | | `minMcapUsdM` | 0 | Min market cap in millions | | `topN` | 50 | Results per list | | `category` | (all) | Filter by category | --- ### Pricing **$0.007 flat per run.** # Actor input Schema ## `minTvlUsdM` (type: `integer`): Minimum protocol TVL in millions USD. ## `minMcapUsdM` (type: `integer`): Minimum market cap in millions USD. Set to 0 to include all. ## `topN` (type: `integer`): Number of results per list (low_mcap_tvl, high_mcap_tvl, highest_tvl). ## `category` (type: `string`): Optional: filter to category (e.g., Lending, DEX, Yield, Liquid Staking, CDP). ## Actor input object example ```json { "minTvlUsdM": 10, "minMcapUsdM": 0, "topN": 50 } ```` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = {}; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("gochujang/defi-mcap-tvl-screener").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
