Overview
DeFi Llama Yield Pools Scraper
Scrape DeFi Llama yield pools by project, chain, or token symbol, up to a million per run. Each pool comes with its APY, TVL, and pool identifiers. No API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.
DeFi Llama's yield data is spread across hundreds of protocols and chains, and the official API needs you to know exact pool IDs. This reads the public yield pool listings directly, filtered by project, chain, token symbol, or minimum TVL, and returns each match in one fixed schema.
| Who uses it | What they scrape DeFi Llama for |
|---|---|
| Yield farmers | Which pools currently offer the highest APY for a given token |
| DeFi analysts | How TVL and yields shift across chains and protocols |
| Portfolio managers | Which yield opportunities meet a minimum TVL threshold |
| Crypto researchers | What yield products exist for a specific project or token |
What it does
This Actor collects DeFi Llama yield pools by project, chain, token symbol, or minimum TVL, and returns each one as a flat row.
- 🔍 Project filter: substring match on protocol name, for example aave, lido, uniswap.
- ⛓️ Chain filter: substring match on blockchain, for example Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base.
- 🪙 Token symbol filter: substring match on token symbol, for example USDC, ETH, DAI.
- 💰 Minimum TVL: only return pools with total value locked at or above a USD amount.
- 📦 Maximum pools: cap the number of yield pools collected per run, up to one million.
Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.
What you can do with DeFi Llama data
🌾 Find the best yield for a token.
A yield farmer filters by token symbol USDC and minimum TVL $1,000,000 to see which pools offer the highest APY with enough liquidity.
📊 Track yields across chains.
A DeFi analyst runs the Actor with chain filter Arbitrum to compare yield opportunities on that chain against Ethereum.
🔎 Monitor a protocol's pools.
A researcher filters by project aave to list all Aave yield pools and their current APY and TVL.
💼 Screen for institutional-grade pools.
A portfolio manager sets minimum TVL to $10,000,000 to only see pools large enough for a meaningful allocation.

Configure the run
Drive the Actor from project, chain, token symbol, and minimum TVL filters, alone or together, and filters run as each pool is read so only matches reach your dataset. The Input tab lists every parameter.
A first run with the defaults:
{
"maxItems": 10
}
A larger pull:
{
"maxItems": 200
}
Pricing
Pay-per-result: $0.0085 per result collected. You pay only for the results written to your dataset.

Run it
- Create a free Apify account with $5 in credit.
- Open the DeFi Llama Yield Pools Scraper.
- Set your inputs and any filters, then click Start.
- Export the results as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML from the Dataset tab.
Run it programmatically through the Apify API (run-sync-get-dataset-items) or the ApifyClient for JavaScript and Python.
Use with AI agents (MCP)
Give an AI agent live access to DeFi Llama through the Model Context Protocol. Add the Actor to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client:
claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=parseforge/llama-yields-scraper"
Then prompt it in plain language to run the scraper and read back the results.
Troubleshooting
Why am I getting no results?
Check your filters. If you set a project, chain, or symbol filter, make sure it matches an existing pool. Also, if you set a minimum TVL, lower it to see if any pools meet that threshold.
Why is my run taking a long time?
The Actor reads all matching pools up to your maximum pools setting. If you set a high maximum, it will take longer. Reduce the maximum or add filters to narrow the results.
Why are some pools missing?
DeFi Llama may not list every pool, especially very new or small ones. Also, check that your filters do not exclude them. The Actor only returns pools that are currently listed on DeFi Llama.
Can I get historical yield data?
No, this Actor only returns current yield data from DeFi Llama. For historical data, you would need to run the Actor periodically and store the results yourself.
Why did I get an error about the input?
Make sure your inputs are valid. Project, chain, and symbol are text fields, minimum TVL is a non-negative integer, and maximum pools is an integer between 1 and 1,000,000.
