## Pricing

$0.10 / 1,000 defillama protocol snapshot rows

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

## 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).


# README

## DefiLlama Protocols Snapshot

Snapshot every DefiLlama-tracked DeFi protocol (~7 600+ as of mid-2026)
filtered by chain, category, and TVL range. One row per (protocol ×
chain) pair, with TVL, percent change, mcap/FDV, audit count, listing
date, and links to Twitter / website / CoinGecko / CMC.

### How to use

**Input.**

```json
{
  "chains":       ["Ethereum", "Solana"],
  "categories":   ["Dexs", "Lending"],
  "minTvlUsd":    1000000,
  "maxTvlUsd":    0
}
````

`chains` — restrict to protocols active on these chains. Multi-chain
protocols get one row per requested chain — so a Uniswap snapshot
across Ethereum + Arbitrum + Base emits 3 rows for Uniswap. Empty
list = all chains (one row per protocol).

`categories` — filter to specific categories. Common: `Dexs`,
`Lending`, `Liquid Staking`, `CDP`, `Yield`, `Derivatives`, `Bridge`,
`Cross Chain Bridge`, `Insurance`, `Synthetics`, `Restaking`,
`RWA Lending`.

`minTvlUsd` / `maxTvlUsd` — TVL range filter. Use `maxTvlUsd` to
focus on the long tail under, say, $10 M for early-stage screening.

### Pricing

PAY\_PER\_EVENT · `$0.0001 per protocol_snapshot` · 10 000 rows = $1.

### Buyer

- DeFi analysts running daily sector-rotation reports.
- VC associates screening categories for portfolio diligence.
- Researchers building chain-vs-chain TVL dashboards.
- Anyone scraping defillama.com manually who'd rather have a paginated
  dataset.

### Source

`https://api.llama.fi/protocols` — DefiLlama's free public unauthenticated
endpoint. Returns the full snapshot in one request; this actor filters
in memory then emits exploded per-chain rows.

# Actor input Schema

## `chains` (type: `array`):

Restrict to protocols active on these chains. Examples: `Ethereum`, `Solana`, `Arbitrum`, `Base`, `Optimism`, `Polygon`, `Avalanche`, `Sui`. Multi-chain protocols are duplicated — one row per requested chain. Empty = all chains.

## `categories` (type: `array`):

Restrict to these categories. Common: `Dexs`, `Lending`, `Liquid Staking`, `CDP`, `Yield`, `Derivatives`, `Bridge`, `Cross Chain Bridge`, `Insurance`, `Synthetics`, `Restaking`. Empty = all.

## `minTvlUsd` (type: `integer`):

Drop protocols whose total TVL is below this threshold. Use to skip dust protocols.

## `maxTvlUsd` (type: `integer`):

Drop protocols whose TVL is above this threshold. Use to focus on mid-cap / long-tail. 0 = no cap.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "chains": [
    "Ethereum"
  ],
  "categories": [],
  "minTvlUsd": 0,
  "maxTvlUsd": 0
}
```
