## What's an Apify Actor?
Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".
## How to integrate an Actor?
If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.
In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):
```bash
npm install apify-client
```
In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):
```bash
pip install apify-client
```
In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):
````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash
In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).
If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).
For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.
For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).

## DeFiLlama Yields Pools Scraper
> ๐ **Export DeFi pool yields in seconds. APY, TVL, project, and chain for thousands of pools direct from DeFiLlama.**
> ๐ **Last updated:** 2026-06-05 . **๐ 13 fields** per record . Public API . Real-time
The DeFiLlama Yields Pools Scraper turns the [DeFiLlama yields API](https://yields.llama.fi) public REST endpoint into a clean, structured dataset.
| ๐ฏ Target Audience | ๐ก Primary Use Cases |
|---|---|
| ๐ DeFi analysts | Compare APY across chains |
| ๐ช Yield farmers | Track stablecoin yields |
| ๐ผ Treasury teams | Build DeFi dashboards |
| ๐ค ML engineers | Backtest yield strategies |
### ๐ What the DeFiLlama Yields Pools Scraper does
- Calls https://yields.llama.fi/pools.
- Flattens each pool into a row with APY and metadata.
- Supports chain, project, and min TVL filters.
- Surfaces upstream errors as clean rows.
> ๐ก **Why it matters.** The source returns raw API payloads that most data tools cannot ingest directly. This actor normalizes everything into a flat row format ready for analysis.
