1 credit / call finance & crypto try it in the playground →

Every chain DefiLlama tracks, ranked by DeFi TVL: name, TVL, native token, chain id and CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap ids.

Every response includes credits_used: the credits this call cost.

Parameters

nametypedescription
q string Only chains whose name contains this text.
order asc | desc asc or desc (default desc). Example: desc
limit integer Number of chains, 1-1000 (default 500). Example: 100

Every endpoint also takes fresh, raw, fields (see lean responses and caching).

Example

curl "https://api.api.sh/defillama/v1/chains" \
  -H "x-api-key: $APISH_KEY"

Response

A JSON object with the fields described above, plus raw (the source's own data), cached, fetched_at and credits_used. Errors return {"success": false, "error": "…"} with the HTTP status (see errors). A lookup that ran but found nothing (404) costs the price above; refused calls and errors on our side are free (what's charged).

The fastest way to see the full response is the playground: it runs this endpoint with your account and shows the exact JSON.
