DefiLlama DeFi Scraper 🦙📈

Scrape DeFi protocols, TVL (Total Value Locked), market caps and blockchain rankings from DefiLlama — no API key, clean JSON, datacenter-friendly.

DefiLlama is the leading, transparency-first aggregator of DeFi data. This Actor turns its public data into structured, ready-to-use JSON you can drop straight into a spreadsheet, dashboard, database, or trading model. It is fast, cheap, and needs no proxies or login.

---

✨ What you get

• All DeFi protocols ranked by TVL — name, symbol, category, chains, TVL, 1d/7d change, market cap, logo and URL.
• All blockchains ranked by TVL — name, native token symbol, TVL and chain ID.
• Optional filters — narrow protocols to a single category (e.g. Lending) or chain (e.g. Ethereum).
• Clean, flat JSON with a scraped_at timestamp on every row, plus an Overview table view.

Returns thousands of protocols sorted by TVL descending. Add a category and/or chain filter to zoom in.
