Quick Start

1. Create your account

Head to the sign-up page and create a free DEXTools API account. No payment method is required.

2. Get your API key

After registering, open your dashboard and generate an API key. Treat it like a password — store it in environment variables, never in source code or client-side bundles.

3. Make your first request

Pass your key in the X-API-Key header. Start with the hello endpoint to confirm your key works.

curl "https://public-api.dextools.io/v3/hello" \
  -H "X-API-Key: your-api-key-here" \
  -H "Accept: application/json"

Once that returns, list the supported blockchains.

curl "https://public-api.dextools.io/v3/blockchains" \
  -H "X-API-Key: your-api-key-here" \
  -H "Accept: application/json"

A successful response looks like this:

{
  "statusCode": 200,
  "data": [
    { "id": "ether", "name": "Ethereum" },
    { "id": "bsc", "name": "BNB Chain" },
    { "id": "solana", "name": "Solana" }
  ]
}

4. Understand credits and rate limits

Each call consumes credits from your monthly quota, and every plan has a per-minute request cap. Monitor your usage from the dashboard and check your remaining budget any time with GET /v3/accounts/subscription.

Compare the tiers on the pricing page.

5. Explore the endpoints

Browse the full reference in the sidebar to discover every endpoint and its parameters. Popular starting points are token metadata (/v3/tokens/{chain}/{address}), pool data (/v3/pools/{chain}/{address}), and hot pairs (/v3/features/{chain}/hotpairs).
