What this scraper does

GeckoTerminal is CoinGecko's on-chain DEX data layer. It indexes every major liquidity pool across 100+ EVM, Solana, Move and other chains — Uniswap V2 / V3 / V4, PancakeSwap, SushiSwap, Curve, Balancer, Aerodrome, Velodrome, Camelot, QuickSwap, Trader Joe, SpookySwap, Raydium, Orca, Meteora, Lifinity, Pump.fun, Cetus, Bluefin, Hyperliquid Spot and many more.

Pulling this data well at scale requires:

• Iterating per network (each chain is a separate paginated endpoint)
• Paginating through up to 200 pools per network in 20-pool pages
• Backing off correctly on HTTP 429
• Filtering out dead and low-liquidity pools
• Flattening deeply nested JSON-API responses into spreadsheet rows
• Streaming output to disk before the run ends

This GeckoTerminal DEX pools scraper does all of that for you. Pick your networks, set a minimum 24h volume to skip dead pools, and get back a flat, sorted, filtered dataset of every active DEX pool — ready for Excel, Postgres, your trading bot or your dashboard.

🎯 Built for these use cases

1. DEX traders and arbitrageurs

Pull top 200 pools per chain on every chain that interests you, sort by 24h volume + reserve, and surface cross-DEX or cross-chain arbitrage opportunities. Compare price for the same token across Solana DEXes (Raydium vs. Orca vs. Meteora) or across EVMs (Uniswap on Ethereum vs. Base vs. Arbitrum).

2. New-token hunters and memecoin scanners

Schedule the scraper every 5 minutes against Solana, Base and BSC. Filter on poolCreatedAt to surface pools created in the last hour. Combine with a minVolumeUsd floor to filter out rugs and dead launches.

3. Multichain liquidity dashboards

Power a "where is the liquidity on $TOKEN?" dashboard. Aggregate reserveInUsd per network, per DEX, per token to show users where their token is most liquid.

4. MEV searchers and market makers

Every pool row includes poolAddress so you can target on-chain transactions directly. Filter to fresh pools with strong 1h volume to identify market-making opportunities.

5. Tokenomics and pricing research

Combine baseTokenPriceUsd, fdvUsd and marketCapUsd with reserveInUsd to evaluate fundamentals — how much liquidity exists relative to FDV? Is the pool deep enough to support claimed market cap?

6. On-chain analytics and indexer pipelines

Use this scraper as the upstream price feed for your own indexer. Refresh hourly to keep your on-chain analytics product fresh without running your own GeckoTerminal-clone infrastructure.

7. DeFi research and TVL studies

Daily snapshots build a longitudinal record of DEX pool TVL, volume and momentum across the multichain ecosystem — ideal for cross-sectional DeFi research.

8. Portfolio dashboards and wallet apps

Power live USD-denominated portfolio valuations for tokens that don't live on CEXes. GeckoTerminal is the canonical on-chain price source for long-tail tokens.

⚙️ How it works

1. Reads input — list of network slugs, per-network pool cap, minimum 24h volume.
2. Iterates each network — for every network slug, hits the networks/{network}/pools endpoint.
3. Paginates — 20 pools per page, up to 10 pages per network (200 pools per network max — GeckoTerminal API limit).
4. Applies the volume filter in-stream — pools below minVolumeUsd are dropped before being saved.
5. Backs off on HTTP 429 with exponential delays.
6. Flattens JSON-API responses (data.attributes) into 17-field rows.
7. Streams rows into the Apify Dataset.

The scraper uses ONLY GeckoTerminal's officially-supported public REST API (api.geckoterminal.com/api/v2). No HTML scraping, no headless browser, no proxy, no anti-bot bypass. Endpoints are documented at geckoterminal.com/dex-api.

⚡ Performance

Workload	Time	API calls
1 network, 20 pools	~2 seconds	1
1 network, 200 pools	~10 seconds	10
6 networks, 200 pools each	~45 seconds	60
20 networks, 200 pools each	~3 minutes	200
50 networks, 100 pools each	~4 minutes	250

GeckoTerminal's public API allows ~30 requests/minute. The scraper stays well within that with sensible pacing.

---

💰 Cost model

This actor uses Pay-Per-Result pricing — you pay only for the pool rows actually saved (after the minVolumeUsd filter). Pools dropped by the filter are not billed.

Typical run sizes:

• 1 network, top 20 pools → 20 rows
• 1 network, top 200 pools, $1k volume floor → ~80–150 rows
• 6 networks, 200 each → ~600–1200 rows
• 20 networks, 200 each → ~2000–4000 rows

---

🔄 Schedule for continuous monitoring

This scraper plays nicely with Apify's scheduler. Common patterns:

• Every 5 minutes — Solana memecoin / new-pool scanner (1 network, $5k volume floor)
• Every 15 minutes — multi-chain DEX trader feed (6 chains, $10k volume floor)
• Hourly — multichain liquidity dashboard refresh (20 chains, $1k volume floor)
• Daily — full multichain snapshot for analytics archive
• Weekly — deep historical sweep with low filters for research datasets

Use Apify Webhooks to push the dataset into TimescaleDB, BigQuery, Postgres, Google Sheets, Slack, Discord, Make.com, n8n or your own data warehouse.

🛠️ FAQ

Do I need a GeckoTerminal API key? No. The public REST API requires no authentication and no signup.

Which chains are supported? 100+ networks including Ethereum, Solana, BSC, Base, Arbitrum, Polygon PoS, Avalanche, Optimism, Fantom, Cronos, PulseChain, Sui, TON, Aptos, Sei, Tron, Hyperliquid EVM, Berachain, Monad, Sonic, Linea, Mantle, Scroll, zkSync Era, Blast, Mode, Manta, Celo, Gnosis, Moonbeam, Moonriver, Harmony, Klaytn, Conflux, Cardano, Stellar, NEAR, MultiversX, Cosmos, Osmosis and many more.

How do I find the right network slug? Visit geckoterminal.com, pick a chain in the network dropdown, look at the URL — the slug after geckoterminal.com/ is the network slug (e.g. eth, solana, polygon_pos, base, arbitrum).

Why max 200 pools per network? This is GeckoTerminal's public API limit (10 pages × 20 pools per page). For deeper coverage of a single network, use dexscreener-token-pairs-scraper with token addresses for the tokens you care about.

How fresh is the data? Real-time. GeckoTerminal updates pool stats every few blocks from on-chain swap events.

Can I filter to a specific DEX (e.g. only Uniswap V3)? Not from the input schema directly — the scraper returns all top pools per network. Filter by the name field downstream (e.g. names containing "0.05%" / "0.3%" / "1%" are Uniswap V3 tiers; "v2" suffix marks V2 pools; etc.).

Can I get historical OHLCV / chart bars? Not from this scraper — this returns current snapshots. To build a time series, schedule this scraper at the desired interval and aggregate.

What if a pool has no live volume? Pools with 0 or null volume24h are returned by the API but the minVolumeUsd filter will drop them if you set it.

Does the actor respect GeckoTerminal's rate limits? Yes — built-in pacing and exponential backoff on HTTP 429. You can run unattended without getting throttled.

How is this different from the DexScreener scrapers? GeckoTerminal and DexScreener are both DEX aggregators with overlapping but distinct coverage. GeckoTerminal is CoinGecko's official on-chain layer; DexScreener has its own indexer with strong memecoin / new-pair coverage. Many traders use BOTH for cross-verification.

Can I export to CSV or Excel? Yes. Apify Dataset exports support JSON, CSV, Excel (XLSX), HTML and JSONL.

Can I integrate via webhook / API? Yes. Apify provides REST API access to runs and datasets. Trigger from Zapier, Make.com, n8n, custom code, or any HTTP client.
