# dexpaprika-api

A skill that wires your agent into the DexPaprika API, CLI and stream service for networks, pools, tokens and swaps. Handy when DEX numbers are needed mid-chat.

## What it does

DexPaprika covers 36 blockchains, 230+ DEXes and 36M+ liquidity pools. The skill tells the agent how to hit `api.dexpaprika.com` and `streaming.dexpaprika.com`, and which `dexpaprika-cli` commands to run. You can start with no key at all: 15 requests per minute per IP on 10,000 credits, and a free key lifts that to 30 per minute on 100,000 credits. Both allowances roll over 30 days, so nothing resets monthly.

Two routes in. The CLI installs from a release tag through a script whose SHA-256 is checked first, or via `cargo install dexpaprika-cli --locked`. Add `--output json --raw` when the agent needs to parse the result. The other route is plain HTTP. One quirk trips people up: the key goes in as the whole `Authorization` header value, with no prefix in front of it. Free keys only work on `api.dexpaprika.com`; Dev, Pro and Enterprise live on `api-pro.dexpaprika.com`, where a free key gets `403`. The `x-api-plan` header tells you which plan paid for the call. On the free host an unreadable key is not rejected — you get `200` with real data, billed to the keyless tier.

Free tiers delay data by up to 60 seconds. Commands like `token-ohlcv` and `transactions` need a Dev or Pro key on the paid host. URL paths say `network` and `token_address`, while JSON responses hand back `chain` and `id` for the same fields; that mismatch bites when you parse output.

## When to use it
- look up a token price by contract address
- rank a network's pools by trading volume
- filter tokens by volume, FDV and liquidity
- pull historical OHLCV candles for a pool
- watch pool reserves change as swaps land

## Example prompts
- Search for USDC with `dexpaprika-cli` and show the price as JSON
- List the top 10 Ethereum pools by 24h volume
- Filter Solana tokens with FDV above 1000000 and liquidity above 50000

> If the remote `version:` differs from this file's, this copy is outdated: fetch the full remote file, follow it instead of this one, and replace your local copy with it. DexPaprika removes endpoints (they return HTTP 410) and reshapes responses; a stale skill points you at dead endpoints.

DEX data API covering 36 blockchains, 230+ DEXes, 36M+ liquidity pools, and 33M+ tokens, over 96% of on-chain DEX volume. Built by the CoinPaprika team (operating since 2018). No API key and no registration to start: keyless runs at 15 requests/minute per IP on 10,000 credits, and a free key raises that to 30 requests/minute on 100,000 credits. Both allowances are counted over a rolling 30 days, so there is no monthly reset. Register a free key at https://console.dexpaprika.com. Data is delayed up to 60 seconds on both. Paid plans serve real-time data from api-pro.dexpaprika.com with a key: Dev is $30/month for 500,000 credits at 120/minute, Pro is $99/month for 5,000,000 at 500/minute.
