Base Token List Scraper
Scrape the Base Token List for every token on Base, up to a million per run. Each token comes with its chain ID, symbol, name, decimals, and logo URI. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.
The Base Token List is the canonical registry of ERC-20 tokens on the Base network, but querying it manually or via RPC calls is slow and rate-limited. This Actor reads the public token list directly, filters by chain ID or symbol, and returns each match in one fixed schema.
| Who uses it | What they scrape Base Token List for |
|---|---|
| DeFi developers | Which tokens are officially recognized on Base for their dApp's token picker |
| Crypto analysts | The full set of Base tokens to monitor for liquidity or listing trends |
| Wallet builders | A clean token list to preload into their Base wallet interface |
| Market researchers | Token metadata for Base ecosystem reports and dashboards |
What it does
This Actor collects tokens from the Base Token List, filtered by chain ID or symbol, and returns each one as a flat row.
- ๐ Chain ID filter: restrict results to a specific EVM chain, such as 8453 for Base or 1 for Ethereum.
- ๐ค Symbol filter: match tokens by symbol substring, case insensitive, like 'usd' to find all stablecoins.
- ๐ฆ Bulk export: collect up to 1,000,000 tokens per run and export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.
Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.
What you can do with Base Token List data
๐ช Build a token picker for a Base dApp.
A DeFi developer runs the Actor with chainId 8453 and maxItems 1000 to get the official Base token list, then imports the CSV into their frontend for a dropdown menu.
๐ Monitor new token listings on Base.
A crypto analyst schedules the Actor daily with no filters to capture the full list, then diffs the output against the previous run to spot newly added tokens.
๐ Find all stablecoins on Base.
A researcher sets symbolFilter to 'usd' and chainId 8453 to collect every USD-pegged token, then uses the decimals field to normalize prices across sources.
๐งช Seed a test environment with real token data.
A QA engineer runs the Actor with maxItems 50 to get a small sample of Base tokens, then loads the JSON into a local blockchain fork for integration tests.
Why choose this scraper
| What you get | |
|---|---|
| No API key | Reads the public token list directly, no registration or rate limits |
| Fixed schema | Every token returns the same flat fields: chainId, symbol, name, decimals, logoURI |
| Filter early | Chain and symbol filters run as tokens are read, so only matches reach your dataset |
How it compares
This Actor is the only one that reads the Base Token List directly and returns token metadata in a flat schema. The competitors below scrape different sources or return unstructured content.

Free-plan runs return up to 10 results as a preview. Upgrade your Apify plan to collect up to 1,000,000 results per run.
Run it
- Create a free Apify account with $5 in credit.
- Open the Base Token List Scraper.
- Set your inputs and any filters, then click Start.
- Export the results as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML from the Dataset tab.
Run it programmatically through the Apify API (run-sync-get-dataset-items) or the ApifyClient for JavaScript and Python.
Use with AI agents (MCP)
Give an AI agent live access to Base Token List through the Model Context Protocol. Add the Actor to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client:
Then prompt it in plain language to run the scraper and read back the results.
Troubleshooting
Why am I getting no results?
Check your filters. If you set a chainId that is not present in the token list, or a symbolFilter that matches nothing, the Actor returns an empty dataset. Try clearing the filters and running again.
Why did the run stop before reaching maxItems?
The Actor stops when it has read all tokens in the list, even if that number is less than maxItems. The token list has a finite size, so maxItems is only an upper bound.
Why is the logoURI empty for some tokens?
Some tokens in the list do not have a logo entry. The Actor returns an empty string for those, which is normal.
Can I get tokens from Ethereum using this Actor?
Yes. Set chainId to 1 to get tokens from the Ethereum list, or leave chainId empty to get tokens from all chains included in the source list.
FAQ
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the Base Token List? | It is the canonical JSON registry of ERC-20 tokens on the Base network, maintained by the Base team. Each entry includes the token's chain ID, symbol, name, decimals, and logo URI. |
| Do I need an API key or authentication? | No. The Actor reads the public token list directly, so there is no registration, OAuth, or rate limit. |
| Can I filter by chain ID? | Yes. Set the chainId input to any EVM chain ID, such as 8453 for Base or 1 for Ethereum. Leave it empty to get tokens from all chains in the list. |
| Can I filter by token symbol? | Yes. The symbolFilter input matches any token whose symbol contains the given substring, case insensitive. For example, 'usd' matches USDC, USDbC, and DAI. |
| How many tokens can I collect in one run? | You can set maxItems up to 1,000,000. The Actor stops after reaching that number, so you control the size of your dataset. |
| What output formats are supported? | The Actor exports to CSV, JSON, Excel, and XML. You can choose the format in the run settings or download from the dataset. |
| Does the Actor return token logos? | Yes. Each token includes a logoURI field with a URL to the token's icon, which you can use directly in your UI. |
| Is the data live or cached? | The Actor fetches the token list at the start of each run, so you always get the current published version. |
| Can I schedule this Actor to run daily? | Yes. Use Apify's scheduler to run it at any interval, then compare outputs to track changes in the token list. |
| What is the difference between this and the Optimism Token List Scraper? | This Actor is configured for the Base Token List by default, but you can set chainId to 10 to scrape the Optimism list as well. The underlying logic is the same. |
