They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. 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. - **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use). - **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`. - **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`. - **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`. - **Any other language** — 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 ![ParseForge Banner](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ParseForge/apify-assets/main/banner.jpg) ## 🔗 DefiLlama DeFi Protocol Scraper > 🚀 Pull TVL, yields, stablecoin supply, and chain analytics for 4,000+ DeFi protocols from DefiLlama.

##### Copy to your AI assistant Copy this block into ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, or any LLM to start using this actor. ``` parseforge/defillama-scraper on Apify. Call: ApifyClient("TOKEN").actor("parseforge/defillama-scraper").call(run_input={...}), then client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).list_items().items for results. Key inputs: maxItems (integer, default 10), endpoint (string, default "protocols"), protocol (string). Full actor spec: fetch build via GET https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/parseforge~defillama-scraper (Bearer TOKEN). Get token: https://console.apify.com/account/integrations ``` DefiLlama Scraper collects decentralized finance data covering protocols, chains, stablecoins, yield farming pools, and historical TVL trends. Each protocol record includes the name, symbol, category, total value locked, 1h/1d/7d TVL changes, supported chains, market cap, and URL. You can also pull yield data with APY rates across pools, stablecoin circulating supply and peg status, or chain-level TVL rankings for 570+ blockchain networks. DeFi researchers use this to track protocol dominance and TVL flows. Investors compare yield opportunities across chains and pools. Developers feed the data into analytics dashboards. Analysts monitor stablecoin supply distribution and chain adoption trends. If you need structured DeFi market data without building API integrations, this actor delivers it in a single run. | Target | DefiLlama (4,000+ DeFi protocols) | |--------|-------------------------------| | Use Cases | DeFi research, TVL tracking, yield comparison, stablecoin monitoring | ### 📋 What it does - 📊 **Protocol data.** 4,000+ DeFi protocols with TVL, category, chain breakdown, and change metrics. - 💰 **Yield farming.** APY data across farming pools, protocols, and chains. - 🪙 **Stablecoin analytics.** Circulating supply and peg data for 40+ stablecoins. - ⛓️ **Chain rankings.** TVL data for 570+ blockchain networks. - 🔍 **Protocol deep dive.** Detailed chain-level TVL breakdown for any specific protocol. Each record gives you a complete snapshot of DeFi activity. Protocol records include TVL changes over three timeframes (1h, 1d, 7d), the chains they operate on, and their market cap when available. > 💡 **Why it matters:** DeFi data is spread across hundreds of protocol dashboards and chain explorers. DefiLlama aggregates it all, and this actor lets you download it as structured data without writing API code. ### 📊 Data fields Each record includes: `apy`, `apyBase`, `apyReward`, `audits`, `category`, `chain`, `chains`, `chainTvls`, `change_1d`, `change_1h`, `change_7d`, `fdv`, `forkedFrom`, `gecko_id`, `logo`, `mcap`, `name`, `pegMechanism`, `pegType`, `project`, `scrapedAt`, `staking`, `symbol`, `totalSupplyUSD`, `tvl`, `tvlUsd`, `twitter`, `url`. These field names come straight from the actor's dataset schema, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset. > ⚠️ **Good to Know:** DefiLlama provides free, open-source DeFi data. The "protocols" endpoint returns the broadest dataset with 4,000+ entries. Use the "protocol" field to get chain-level TVL breakdowns for a specific project. ### 🚀 How to use 1. 📝 **Sign up.** [Create a free account with $5 credit](https://console.apify.com/sign-up?fpr=vmoqkp) (takes 2 minutes). 2. 🌐 **Open the Actor.** Go to the DefiLlama Scraper page on the Apify Store. 3. 🎯 **Set input.** Choose your data source (protocols, chains, yields, stablecoins) and max items. 4. 🚀 **Run it.** Click **Start** and let the Actor collect your data. 5. 📥 **Download.** Grab your results in the **Dataset** tab as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML. > ⏱️ Total time from signup to downloaded dataset: **3-5 minutes.** No coding required. ### 🔗 Recommended Actors - [**💰 CoinGecko Scraper**](https://apify.com/parseforge/coingecko-scraper) - Real-time cryptocurrency prices, market cap, and volume data - [**📊 FRED Economic Data Scraper**](https://apify.com/parseforge/fred-scraper) - Federal Reserve economic time-series data - [**💼 SEC EDGAR Full Text Search**](https://apify.com/parseforge/sec-edgar-full-text-search-scraper) - Search SEC filings by keyword - [**📈 BLS Wage Data Scraper**](https://apify.com/parseforge/bls-wage-data-scraper) - Employment and wage statistics - [**🏢 Flippa Scraper**](https://apify.com/parseforge/flippa-scraper) - Online business and website marketplace data > 💡 **Pro Tip:** browse the complete [ParseForge collection](https://apify.com/parseforge) for more data scrapers and tools. > **⚠️ Disclaimer:** this Actor is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by DefiLlama.
