DefiLlama protocol

One DeFi protocol: description, category, chains, current TVL in total and per chain (plus borrowed, staking and pool2 where tracked), daily TVL history (all chains or one chain), funding rounds with investors, hacks with amounts lost and returned, key events, sub-protocols, market cap, token and links.

Every response includes credits_used: the credits this call cost.

Parameters

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

Example

curl "https://api.api.sh/defillama/v1/protocol?slug=aave" \
  -H "x-api-key: $APISH_KEY"

import os, requests

res = requests.get(
    "https://api.api.sh/defillama/v1/protocol",
    params={"slug": "aave"},
    headers={"x-api-key": os.environ["APISH_KEY"]},
    timeout=120,
)
res.raise_for_status()
data = res.json()

const url = new URL("https://api.api.sh/defillama/v1/protocol");
url.searchParams.set("slug", "aave");

const res = await fetch(url, { headers: { "x-api-key": process.env.APISH_KEY } });
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`${res.status} ${await res.text()}`);
const data = await res.json();

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).
