🎯 dYdX v4 Perpetual Markets Scraper

🚀 Export dYdX v4 perpetual market data in seconds, including oracle price, 24h volume, open interest, and next funding rate, straight from the public indexer.dydx.trade endpoint.

🕒 Last updated: 2026-05-29 · 📊 8 fields per record · 60+ perp markets · Cosmos-based on-chain DEX

The dYdX Markets Scraper turns the dYdX v4 indexer into a clean dataset. It hits /v4/perpetualMarkets, iterates every active market, and emits one row per ticker with the oracle price, 24h move, 24h notional volume, open interest, and the next predicted funding rate.

dYdX v4 runs on its own Cosmos app-chain, with funding paid every hour. The indexer is fully public, no key required.

📋 What the dYdX Markets Scraper does

• Iterates every market keyed by ticker.
• Casts numeric strings to numbers.
• Optionally filters to a list of tickers.
• Exports as CSV, Excel, JSON, JSONL, XML, RSS, or HTML.

💡 Why it matters: dYdX is the largest Cosmos-based perp DEX. Its indexer is fully public but returns string-typed numbers; this actor normalizes them.
