FAQ

Does it need residential proxies? No. Datacenter proxies work perfectly. DexScreener API is public.

How often should I run it? For real-time trading: every 5 minutes. For daily analysis: once per day.

Can I get historical data? This scraper returns current/live data. For historical, you'd need to schedule runs and accumulate data over time.

What's the rate limit? DexScreener allows 60 req/min on trending/boost endpoints and 300 req/min on search/pairs. The scraper automatically respects these limits.
