DefiLlama Scraper — Protocols, Yields, Chains & Stablecoins in Clean JSON

Pull DeFi market data and export it as clean, structured JSON, CSV, Excel or XML. In one run you can scrape the full protocol universe (TVL, category, chains), yield pools with live APY, blockchain TVL rankings, or the stablecoin landscape — filtered by chain, category, minimum TVL or minimum APY. Fast and reliable, with no account to manage.

What does DefiLlama Scraper do?

This DefiLlama scraper turns DeFi analytics into a structured dataset. Choose one of four datasets — protocols, yields, chains or stablecoins — apply filters, and it returns a flat record per item with TVL, category, chain coverage, price changes and direct links. Use it to build dashboards, screen yields and feed research models, and export the results in any format the Apify platform supports.

What data can you scrape from DefiLlama?

Data point	Description
Protocol name & symbol	Name and token symbol of the protocol.
Category	DefiLlama category (e.g. Dexs, Lending, Liquid Staking).
Chain & chains	Primary chain and the full list of chains a protocol runs on.
TVL	Total value locked in USD.
Price changes	1h, 1d and 7d change percentages.
Description & logo	Short description and logo URL.
Links	Project URL and a direct DefiLlama page URL.
Yields fields	For the yields dataset: APY, base/reward APY, pool id and risk flags.
Stablecoin fields	For the stablecoins dataset: peg type, price and circulating supply.

Use cases

• TVL dashboards — build a DeFi TVL leaderboard that refreshes on a schedule.
• Yield screening — surface pools above a target APY on specific chains.
• Stablecoin monitoring — track circulating supply and peg mechanisms across the market.
• Research pipelines — feed clean protocol and chain data into models or internal analytics.
• Dataset building — assemble a structured snapshot of the DeFi market.

How to scrape DefiLlama data

1. Add DefiLlama Scraper to your Apify account and open its input.
2. Pick a dataset: protocols, yields, chains or stablecoins.
3. Set filters — chains, categories, minTvl, minApy — and a maxItems cap.
4. Click Run.
5. Export the results as JSON, CSV, Excel or XML, or fetch them through the Apify API.

Input

{
  "dataset": "protocols",
  "chains": ["Ethereum", "Arbitrum"],
  "categories": ["Dexs", "Lending"],
  "minTvl": 1000000,
  "minApy": 0,
  "maxItems": 200
}

Field	Description
dataset	Which dataset to scrape: protocols, yields, chains or stablecoins.
chains	Only include items on these chains (e.g. Ethereum, Solana). Empty = all chains.
categories	For protocols: keep only these exact DefiLlama categories. Empty = all.
minTvl	Minimum total value locked (USD) an item must have.
minApy	For the yields dataset: minimum APY % a pool must have.
maxItems	Cap on output items (0 = all). Highest TVL/APY kept first.

FAQ

Do I need an account or API key? No. There is no login or key — just set your inputs and click Run.

How many items can I get per run? Set maxItems to cap the output, or use 0 to fetch everything in the chosen dataset. Results are sorted by TVL (or APY for yields), so a cap keeps the largest entries first.

Which datasets can I scrape? Protocols, yields, chains and stablecoins — selectable with the dataset input.

How fresh is the data? It reflects DefiLlama's latest published values at the moment the run starts.

What export formats are available? JSON, CSV, Excel and XML, plus programmatic access through the Apify API.

Can I connect this to my other tools? The DefiLlama Scraper can be connected with almost any cloud service or web app thanks to integrations on the Apify platform. It works with Make, Zapier, Slack, Airbyte, GitHub, Google Drive and many more, plus the Apify API, JavaScript/Python clients and MCP. Or use webhooks to trigger an action whenever a run finishes.

Is this official DefiLlama data? The data reflects public DefiLlama analytics, but this actor is an independent tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by DefiLlama.
