DexScreener Scraper - Boosted & Trending Tokens API

---

🚀 What this actor does

DexScreener is the default screen for on-chain trading — boosted/promoted tokens, instant pair search, live price/liquidity/volume, and per-pair security. But the site is for watching, not exporting. This actor turns all of it into clean, structured datasets behind one mode switch, so you stop juggling five separate scrapers.

#	Mode	What you get
1	boostedTokens	Every boosted/promoted token + marketing-spend history (boost amount, orders, payment timestamps), auto-enriched with top-pair price, liquidity, volume & market cap. The pay-to-pump radar.
2	searchPairs	Pairs matching any free-text query (symbol, name, partial contract, label) across every chain and DEX at once.
3	tokenPairs	Every liquidity pair for one or more token addresses — multi-chain, or batched per chain (up to 30 addresses/request).
4	pairWatchlist	Fast current snapshot of specific pairs you track — price, liquidity, volume, txns — by chain:pairAddress.
5	pairSecurity	Deep audit per pair: honeypot, mint/burn/blacklist, renounce, LP locks, top holders, supply, plus CoinGecko + CoinMarketCap metadata.

💡 Default mode is boostedTokens. Each input field is tagged with the modes it applies to (e.g. [searchPairs], [pairSecurity]) so the form stays clean.

⚡ Quick start

Track what's being boosted right now (with market data):

{ "mode": "boostedTokens", "sources": ["top-boosted", "latest-boosted"], "enrichWithPairData": true }

Search every chain for a ticker, liquid pairs only:

{ "mode": "searchPairs", "queries": ["bonk", "wif"], "minLiquidityUsd": 50000 }

Pull all pairs for a token:

{ "mode": "tokenPairs", "tokenAddresses": ["DezXAZ8z7PnrnRJjz3wXBoRgixCa6xjnB7YaB1pPB263"] }

Audit a pair for safety (honeypot, locks, holders):

{ "mode": "pairSecurity", "pairs": ["solana:BrMYU1XWCqMAtBURD8yp3d9gni3uHxomoj5JG9LWr7Mj"] }

📦 What each mode returns

1 · boostedTokens — the pay-to-pump radar

One row per token, deduped across the boost/profile feeds, enriched with marketing-order history and the token's top pair:

{
  "source": "top-boosted,latest-boosted",
  "chainId": "solana",
  "tokenAddress": "Bk8Am...",
  "boostAmount": 500, "boostTotalAmount": 1500,
  "ordersCount": 6, "approvedOrdersCount": 5,
  "firstOrderPaidAt": "2026-06-01T09:12:00.000Z",
  "lastOrderPaidAt": "2026-06-05T08:30:00.000Z",
  "baseTokenSymbol": "ROACH",
  "priceUsd": 0.0000415, "liquidityUsd": 14249.9,
  "marketCap": 41548.2, "volumeH24": 204034,
  "priceChangeH24": 702.05,
  "url": "https://dexscreener.com/solana/bk8am...",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-06-05T12:54:16.188Z"
}

2 · searchPairs — find anything

One row per matched pair (deduped by pair), ranked by liquidity, with priceUsd, liquidityUsd, volumeH24, priceChange*, txnsH24*, socials and pairCreatedAt. Filter by onlyChains, onlyDexes, minLiquidityUsd, minVolume24hUsd, matchSymbol/exactSymbol.

3 · tokenPairs — every pool for a token

All pairs for each input address (single or batched per chainId), with full price/liquidity/volume/txn breakdowns at m5/h1/h6/h24, ranked by liquidity. Cap with maxPairsPerToken.

4 · pairWatchlist — snapshot your list

Pass pairs as chain:pairAddress strings; get a fast current snapshot per pair (batched up to 30/request). Perfect for a scheduled portfolio/position monitor.

5 · pairSecurity — deep due diligence

The richest mode — reads the same pair-details feed that powers the dexscreener.com pair page:

{
  "chainId": "solana", "pairAddress": "BrMYU...",
  "tokenSymbol": "BONK", "tokenName": "Bonk",
  "isHoneypot": false, "contractRenounced": true,
  "canMint": false, "canBlacklist": false, "hiddenOwner": false,
  "lpLockTotalPercentage": 100, "lpLocks": [{ "tag": "UNCX", "percentage": 100 }],
  "totalSupply": 88800000000000, "circulatingSupply": 70000000000000,
  "holdersCount": 912345, "lpHoldersCount": 540,
  "cgId": "bonk", "cmcSymbol": "BONK",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-06-05T12:59:13.996Z"
}

Set skipHolders: true to omit the (large) holder arrays and keep just the counts.

🛡️ Why the data is reliable

• No API key, no login. The discovery/search/pair modes use DexScreener's documented public API.
• Rate-limit aware. Built-in exponential backoff on 429/5xx so large runs finish cleanly.
• Deep security via the frontend feed. pairSecurity reads the Cloudflare-protected pair-details endpoint through residential proxy with TLS-fingerprinted requests and retries.
• Flat, stable schema. Every row is flattened to clean fields — USD numbers, ISO timestamps, url deep-links — the same shape every run.

🤖 Automate it

Put any mode on an Apify Schedule:

• boostedTokens hourly → a pay-to-pump / marketing-spend feed.
• searchPairs on your tickers → a cross-chain watchlist builder.
• pairWatchlist every few minutes → live position monitoring.
• pairSecurity on new entries → an automated safety gate before you buy.

Pull results from the Apify API / dataset, or push to a webhook, Google Sheet, S3 or your warehouse.

🎯 Use cases

• Pay-to-pump & marketing intel — who's spending to promote, how much, and when.
• Token discovery & screeners — feed watchlists, alerts and dashboards.
• Portfolio / watchlist monitoring — scheduled snapshots of your tracked pairs.
• Risk & due diligence — honeypot, LP-lock and holder-concentration checks before every entry.
• On-chain datasets — charts, alpha feeds, ML features, research.

📤 Output & FAQ

Every mode streams rows into the dataset — export to JSON, CSV, Excel, or pull from the API. A run SUMMARY (mode + counts) lands in the key-value store.

Is this a DexScreener API alternative?

Yes. It reads DexScreener's public data with no API key and no login, so you can use it as a free DexScreener API alternative for boosted tokens, pair search and security checks.

How do I export DexScreener data to CSV or JSON?

Every mode streams structured rows into the Apify dataset, so you can export DexScreener data to CSV, JSON or Excel — or pull it straight from the Apify API into a sheet, S3 or your warehouse.

Can I scrape DexScreener without an API key or login?

Yes — the discovery, search and pair modes use DexScreener's documented public API, so you can scrape DexScreener without an API key or login. Only pairSecurity uses a residential proxy for its Cloudflare-protected endpoint.

Can I check a DexScreener pair for a honeypot?

Yes. The pairSecurity mode runs a DexScreener honeypot check and security audit — honeypot, mint/burn/blacklist, renounce, LP locks and top holders — per chain:pairAddress.

Which chains? All chains DexScreener indexes — Solana, Ethereum, BSC, Base, Arbitrum and the rest. Filter with onlyChains.

How do I pass pairs? As chain:pairAddress strings (e.g. solana:BrMYU…) — used by both pairWatchlist and pairSecurity.

Is this allowed? It collects publicly available market data. You're responsible for complying with DexScreener's terms and your local regulations.
