About

defillama-api is a Claude Code skill that queries the DeFiLlama API for cross-chain DeFi analytics: TVL, token prices, DEX volumes, fees and revenue, stablecoins, and bridges. Most endpoints are free with no authentication. A developer uses it when building DeFi macro analysis into an agent or script. It documents base URLs, the {chain}:{address} coin identifier format, and rate limits.

  • Queries DeFiLlama for TVL, token prices, DEX volumes, fees/revenue, stablecoins, bridges
  • Free with no auth for most endpoints; Pro tier for yields and bridge detail
  • Multi-chain coin identifiers in {chain}:{address} format

What it does

Query DeFiLlama for TVL, token prices, DEX volumes, fees, stablecoins, and bridges across chains.

Who is it for?

DeFi macro analytics such as protocol TVL, multi-chain token prices, and DEX volume/fee comparisons.

Skip if: Yields data, which the skill notes is a Pro ($300/mo) endpoint rather than free.

When should I use this skill?

You need DeFiLlama TVL, prices, DEX volume, or stablecoin data inside an agent or script.

What you get

Working DeFiLlama queries for TVL, prices, volumes, fees, and stablecoins with correct identifiers.

By the numbers

  • Free rate limit ~500 requests per 5 minutes
  • Yields endpoint is Pro at $300/mo
  • Covers TVL, prices, DEX volumes, fees, stablecoins, and bridges

DeFiLlama API — DeFi Macro Analytics

DeFiLlama is the largest DeFi TVL aggregator. Its API is free with no authentication for most endpoints — covering TVL, token prices, DEX volumes, fees/revenue, stablecoins, and bridges across all chains.

Quick Start

import httpx

# No auth required for free endpoints
BASE = "https://api.llama.fi"
COINS = "https://coins.llama.fi"

# Current TVL for a protocol
tvl = httpx.get(f"{BASE}/tvl/raydium").json()
print(f"Raydium TVL: ${tvl:,.0f}")

# Token prices (multi-chain)
resp = httpx.get(f"{COINS}/prices/current/solana:So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112")
sol_price = resp.json()["coins"]["solana:So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112"]["price"]

Base URLs

Yieldshttps://yields.llama.fiPro ($300/mo)

Pro APIhttps://pro-api.llama.fi/{KEY}/api/...Pro key in URL path

Rate limits: ~500 requests per 5 minutes (free). Pro: 1,000 req/min, 1M calls/mo.

Token Prices

Coin identifiers use {chain}:{address} format:

  • solana:So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112 (SOL)
  • ethereum:0xdac17f958d2ee523a2206206994597c13d831ec7 (USDT)
  • coingecko:bitcoin (non-chain lookups)
# Current prices (batch)
GET /prices/current/{coins}
# coins: comma-separated identifiers
# Optional: searchWidth (default 4h)
# Returns: {coins: {id: {price, decimals, symbol, timestamp, confidence}}}

# Historical price at timestamp
GET /prices/historical/{timestamp}/{coins}
# timestamp: unix seconds

# Price chart

Common Patterns

Protocol TVL Comparison

def compare_protocol_tvl(slugs: list[str]) -> list[dict]:
    """Compare TVL across protocols."""
    results = []
    for slug in slugs:
        resp = httpx.get(f"https://api.llama.fi/tvl/{slug}", timeout=15.0)
        if resp.status_code == 200:
            results.append({"protocol": slug, "tvl": resp.json()})
    return sorted(results, key=lambda x: x["tvl"], reverse=True)

Multi-Token Price Lookup

def get_solana_prices(mints: list[str]) -> dict[str, float]:
    """Get USD prices for Solana tokens via DeFiLlama."""
    coins = ",".join(f"solana:{m}" for m in mints)
    resp = httpx.get(f"https://coins.llama.fi/prices/current/{coins}")
    data = resp.json().get("coins", {})
    return {
        mint: data[f"solana:{mint}"]["price"]
        for mint in mints
        if f"solana:{mint}" in data
    }

Solana DeFi Overview

def solana_defi_snapshot() -> dict:
    """Get a snapshot of Solana DeFi activity."""
    chain_tvl = httpx.get("https://api.llama.fi/v2/chains").json()
    sol_tvl = next((c["tvl"] for c in chain_tvl if c["name"] == "Solana"), 0)

    dex_vol = httpx.get("https://api.llama.fi/overview/dexs/Solana").json()
    fees = httpx.get("https://api.llama.fi/overview/fees/Solana").json()

    return {
        "tvl": sol_tvl,
        "dex_volume_24h": dex_vol.get("total24h", 0),
        "fees_24h": fees.get("total24h", 0),
    }

Historical Price Analysis

def price_at_date(coin: str, date_str: str) -> float:
    """Get token price at a specific date.

    Args:
        coin: DeFiLlama coin ID (e.g., 'solana:So11...')
        date_str: Date string 'YYYY-MM-DD'
    """
    from datetime import datetime, timezone
    dt = datetime.strptime(date_str, "%Y-%m-%d").replace(tzinfo=timezone.utc)
    ts = int(dt.timestamp())
    resp = httpx.get(f"https://coins.llama.fi/prices/historical/{ts}/{coin}")
    data = resp.json().get("coins", {})
    return data.get(coin, {}).get("price", 0)

FAQ

Does DeFiLlama require an API key?

No. It is free with no authentication for most endpoints; yields and bridge detail require a Pro key.

How are tokens identified?

Coin identifiers use the {chain}:{address} format, e.g. solana:So111...112 for SOL.
