DexScreener Boosted Tokens Scraper — Promoted Tokens, Marketing Spend & Pay-to-Pump Tracker

Real-time snapshot of every token currently boosted, promoted, or with an active token profile on DexScreener — combined with full marketing-order history and live top-pair data. Boost amounts, payment timestamps, community-takeover orders, profile orders, token ads, and price + liquidity + volume + market cap + FDV — all in one flat row per token.

The single most comprehensive source of paid promotion intent on DEX trading — built for memecoin signal services, pay-to-pump detection systems, marketing intelligence platforms, trend discovery dashboards and on-chain alpha hunters across Solana, Ethereum, Base, BSC and 30+ chains.

🟢 No API key. No proxy. No login. Pure public REST API.

🚀 Why this scraper

DexScreener doesn't just index DEX trading — it operates a paid promotion marketplace where projects can pay for visibility. Every payment is logged publicly through their orders/v1 endpoint:

• 🔼 Boosts — pure visibility credit (token rises in trending and featured slots)
• 🏷️ Token Profiles — token gets a richer description, logo, links, banner image
• 🤝 Community Takeover — badge declaring grassroots ownership change (paid)
• 📢 Token Ads — banner / display ad placement

The pattern of these payments is one of the strongest "paying-attention-now" signals on DeFi. A token paying $500 in boosts followed by a $1000 community-takeover order followed by a price pump is a textbook pay-to-pump cycle. Catching it early is alpha.

This scraper pulls all three live promotion feeds (top-boosted, latest-boosted, latest-profiles), deduplicates them, fetches each unique token's full marketing-order history, and enriches each one with live top-pair data — so you can correlate spend vs. market response side-by-side, immediately.

🎯 Built for these use cases

1. Memecoin signal services & alpha alerts

Subscribers want to be alerted when a token starts spending significantly on DexScreener boosts — historically a precursor to organized pumps. Schedule this scraper every 5–15 minutes, alert when boostTotalAmount > N AND pairCreatedAt < 24h.

2. Pay-to-pump detection

Correlate boost timestamps with price action. Boost spent at T, price moved +50% within 2 hours? Likely orchestrated. Build the dataset, train the model.

3. Marketing intelligence

Competitor intel: who's paying for visibility on DexScreener right now? What chains? What sizes? Build a dashboard tracking the paid-marketing landscape on DEX.

4. Pump.fun trend tracking on Solana

Solana memecoin launches that take marketing seriously stand out. Filter chainId=solana, boostTotalAmount > 500 → freshly launched tokens with serious marketing intent.

5. Anti-rug intelligence

Fresh tokenProfile orders by brand-new pools (hours old) with low organic liquidity = yellow flag. Combine with our dexscreener-pair-security-scraper for full risk picture.

6. Newsletter & content data

Daily "What's being promoted on DexScreener right now" reports. Top 10 by boost spend. Movers of the day.

7. Listing & directory products

Power "Hot on DEX" feeds for crypto sites, Telegram bots, Discord communities.

8. Research & academic work

Quantify the paid-promotion ecosystem on DEXes. Spend distributions. Pump correlations.

📚 Marketing-order types explained

Order type	What it means	Cost signal
boost	Pure visibility — token rises in trending and featured slots for ~24h per boost unit	Cheap, frequent — often used in clusters
tokenProfile	Token gets a verified profile page (logo, banner, description, links)	One-time setup, ~$300–500
communityTakeover	Badge declaring grassroots community control of a previously-claimed project	Higher cost, often signals "new wave" of holders organizing
tokenAd	Banner / display ad placement on DexScreener pages	Premium, usually $1000+ for serious promotion
approved status	Payment received, order live	The signal that matters
cancelled status	Order rejected or refunded	Filter these out or use for fraud-pattern detection

⚙️ How it works

1. Hits enabled discovery endpoints sequentially:
   • /token-boosts/top/v1 (top by spend)
   • /token-boosts/latest/v1 (most recently boosted)
   • /token-profiles/latest/v1 (newly created profile pages)
2. Deduplicates by (chainId, tokenAddress) and merges metadata
3. Filters by chain whitelist and minBoostAmount
4. For each unique token, in parallel (concurrency 6 by default):
   • Fetches /orders/v1/{chain}/{token} (marketing-order history)
   • Fetches /latest/dex/tokens/{token} (top pair)
5. Picks the top pair on the matching chain by USD liquidity desc
6. Flattens marketing + pair data into a single row
7. Streams results to the Apify Dataset

Public API only — no auth, no proxy, no scraping.

⚡ Performance

Workload	Time	API calls
All 3 sources, full enrichment	~30 seconds	~3 + (2 × ~60 unique tokens) ≈ 123
Lightweight (no enrichment)	~3 seconds	3
All 3 sources, chain-filtered	~25 seconds	~3 + (2 × N tokens)

Total unique tokens after dedup typically lands around 50–90.

---

💰 Cost model

Pay-Per-Result — billed only on actual token rows saved.

Typical run: ~50–90 rows. Schedule every 5–15 minutes for active signal services; results compound to thousands of rows per day.

---

🔄 Schedule for continuous monitoring

• Every 5 minutes — high-frequency memecoin signal services
• Every 15 minutes — most alpha alerters
• Hourly — marketing-intelligence dashboards
• Daily — newsletter / content data

Each scheduled run captures a new snapshot. The paymentTimestamp fields let you correlate exact moments across history.

---

🚨 Pay-to-pump detection recipe

For each new run output:
  Compare token's boostTotalAmount to its value 30 minutes ago
  If delta > $500 AND pairCreatedAt < 24h ago:
      ALERT: "fresh token with spiking boost spend"
  If delta > $1000 AND lastOrderType == communityTakeover:
      ALERT: "active takeover with serious spend"
  If priceChangeH1 > 30% AND lastOrderPaidAt within 2 hours:
      ALERT: "potential paid-promotion pump in progress"

Schedule the actor every 15 minutes. Diff outputs in your downstream pipeline. The signal is in the deltas.

🛠️ FAQ

How fresh is the data? DexScreener's promotion feeds update within seconds of payment confirmation on-chain. By the time you see a boost in latest-boosted, the token's visibility has already increased.

What's the difference between top-boosted, latest-boosted, latest-profiles?

• top-boosted = currently leading by lifetime spend (rotation every few hours)
• latest-boosted = most recently boosted tokens (rotation every few minutes)
• latest-profiles = newly created token profile pages (rotation when paid)

Are the listed amounts in USD? Boost units roughly equate to USD spent at DexScreener's standard rates, but the official rate card can vary. Treat boostAmount and boostTotalAmount as marketing-spend signals in DexScreener's internal units. The relative ordering (which tokens spent more) is reliable.

Why are some tokens listed without pair data? A few promoted tokens have no live DEX pair (pre-launch, just rugged, removed). They still appear in the output with marketing data; price/liquidity fields will be null.

Does community takeover always mean the project is legit? No. It just means someone paid to claim grassroots ownership. Use it as ONE signal among others (audit, holders, liquidity locks via our pair-security scraper).

Can I get historical boost data? The orders array includes ALL orders ever placed for each token (the full history). To build time-series of how boost spend evolved, schedule the actor and aggregate downstream.

What chains are covered? All DexScreener-supported chains. Most paid promotion is concentrated on Solana (~70%) and Ethereum/Base (~20%), with the rest spread across BSC, Polygon, Arbitrum, etc.

Does the orders endpoint always return data? For tokens with at least one promotion, yes. Tokens with no payment history return empty arrays.

How does this compare to manually checking DexScreener? DexScreener's UI shows you ~30 boosted tokens at a time and doesn't expose order history or chain mix. This scraper gives you the full picture in one batched API run.
