GeckoTerminal DEX Scanner — Trending & New Crypto Pools

Scan DEX liquidity pools across every blockchain — trending, brand-new, and top pools — with full market data in one structured dataset. Point it at a chain (or all of them) and get pool address, DEX, base & quote tokens, USD price, FDV, market cap, 24h volume, multi-timeframe price change, buy/sell counts, liquidity, and pool age — no API key, no login, no wallet.

Built for crypto traders, trading bots, memecoin hunters, and on-chain analysts who need a fast, exportable feed of what is moving on decentralized exchanges right now. Think of it as a programmable, no-code DEX screener you can schedule, filter, and pipe into your own tools.

What it does

This Actor pulls live liquidity-pool data from GeckoTerminal (which indexes 100+ chains and hundreds of DEXes) and flattens it into clean rows you can sort, filter, and export as CSV / JSON / Excel or hit over the Apify API.

Three scan modes:

• Trending pools — the hottest pools right now, both globally and per chain. Great for spotting momentum and rotations.
• New pools — freshly created pools, ordered newest first. The fastest way to catch brand-new tokens minutes after they launch.
• Top pools — the highest-liquidity pools on each chain. Good for bluechip monitoring and building a stable market map.

Run it with empty input and it sweeps ~15 major chains and returns 1000+ pools ranked by trend and liquidity — instantly, with zero configuration.

---

Use cases

• New token discovery — watch New pools across Solana, Base, Ethereum and BSC to find tokens in their first hours of trading, before they hit the aggregators.
• Trading signals — combine 24h volume, price change across 5m/1h/6h/24h, and buy/sell counts to build momentum or breakout signals for a bot.
• Memecoin hunting — filter by chain (Solana, Base) plus minLiquidityUsd to surface fresh memecoins that already have real liquidity and volume, filtering out dust.
• Liquidity monitoring — track reserve/liquidity in USD for pools you care about and alert when it moves.
• Market research & dashboards — export the full pool universe per chain and feed a spreadsheet, BI dashboard, or database.
• Rug / risk pre-screening — surface pool age, liquidity, and buyer/seller spread as first-pass risk signals.

FAQ

How do I find new crypto pairs before everyone else?

Set mode to New pools and choose the chains where launches happen fastest (Solana, Base, Ethereum, BSC). The Actor pulls freshly created pools ordered newest first, with poolCreatedAt and poolAgeHours on every row, so you can catch tokens in their first minutes. Add minLiquidityUsd to skip empty dust pools and schedule the Actor to run every few minutes for a continuous new-pair feed.

Is this a DEX Screener alternative?

Yes. It returns the same core market data you'd read on a DEX screener — price, FDV, market cap, multi-timeframe volume and price change, buys/sells, and liquidity — but as a structured, exportable dataset you can schedule, filter, and pipe into a bot, spreadsheet, or database via the Apify API. Instead of watching a web UI, you get programmatic access to trending, new, and top pools across every chain.

How do I track new tokens across all chains at once?

Leave networks empty (or pick All major chains) and the Actor sweeps ~15 major networks in a single run. Use mode: "new" for launches or mode: "trending" for momentum. Every row carries its network, so you can group by chain downstream. To go even broader, add more chains from the networks dropdown.

Do I need an API key or account?

No. This Actor uses GeckoTerminal's public API, which requires no API key, no login, and no wallet. Just run it. It automatically throttles to respect the public rate limit and rotates proxy IPs on the rare 429.

Which blockchains are supported?

Out of the box the multi-select covers major chains: Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, Base, Arbitrum, Polygon, Avalanche, Optimism, Sui, TON, Blast, Mantle, Linea, Sei, Cronos, Fantom/Sonic, Scroll, and PulseChain. GeckoTerminal indexes 100+ networks; the empty-input default focuses on the ~15 with the most liquidity and trader activity.

How do I filter out scam / dust pools?

Use minLiquidityUsd and minVolumeUsd to require a floor of real liquidity and volume, and read poolAgeHours, transactions24hBuyers, and transactions24hSellers as first-pass signals. A pool with meaningful liquidity, two-sided trading, and a healthy buyer/seller spread is a safer starting point than a brand-new pool with a single wallet on one side. (This is a screening aid, not financial advice — always do your own research.)

How many pools can I get and how fast?

With empty input the Actor returns 1000+ pools within a few minutes. Raise maxResults to pull more; the run is bounded by a ~4-minute pagination budget and GeckoTerminal's ~30 requests/minute rate limit, so very large pulls take proportionally longer. Whatever has been collected when the budget is hit is still saved.

Can I get the memecoin / trending feed on a schedule?

Yes. Set mode: "trending" (or new), pick your chains, and use Apify Schedules to run the Actor every N minutes. Each run writes a fresh dataset you can diff against the previous one to detect newly trending pools or brand-new launches.
