DeFi Chain Metrics API

Real-time TVL, fees, volume, and on-chain data for 6 blockchains. Built for trading agents and DeFi dashboards.

A pay-per-call DeFi data API that serves blockchain metrics instantly via HTTP. No subscriptions, no rate-limit walls -- just $0.005 per API call with data refreshed every 5 minutes from DefiLlama, CoinGecko, Hyperliquid, and Etherscan.

What It Does

• 16 real-time metrics per chain: TVL, stablecoin market cap, fees, revenue, DEX volume, perps volume, token price, market cap, and more
• 6 major blockchains covered: Ethereum, Solana, BSC, Tron, Bitcoin, Arbitrum
• Sub-second responses via Apify Standby mode -- data is pre-cached and served instantly
• Built for automation -- trading bots, DeFi dashboards, portfolio trackers, and AI agents can query structured JSON without scraping

Pricing

$0.005 per API call -- pay-per-event via Apify platform billing.

No subscriptions. No minimum commitment. You only pay for what you use.

Why Not Just Use DefiLlama?

DefiLlama Pro API costs $300/month for unlimited access. This API serves the same underlying data per-call at $0.005.

A trading agent making 1,000 calls/day pays ~$150/month -- 50% cheaper with no commitment. If you only need 100 calls/day, you pay just $15/month instead of $300.

For AI agents and bots that need structured blockchain metrics on demand, per-call pricing beats flat subscriptions every time.
