DEXScreener Pairs API — Free to Use

Query DEX Trading Pairs with DEXScreener Pairs API

The DEXScreener Pairs API lets you search for decentralized exchange (DEX) trading pairs in real-time. Get price, volume, liquidity, and other critical market data without building your own blockchain indexer.

What You Get

This API searches across multiple DEX networks and returns matching trading pairs. Use it to:

• Find token pairs by symbol or contract address
• Track price movements and trading volume
• Monitor liquidity metrics
• Build portfolio trackers or trading dashboards

Quick Start with Fetch

Here's a working example to search for trading pairs:

const options = {
  method: 'GET',
  headers: {
    'x-rapidapi-key': 'YOUR_RAPIDAPI_KEY',
    'x-rapidapi-host': 'dexscreener-pairs-api-production.up.railway.app'
  }
};

fetch('https://dexscreener-pairs-api-production.up.railway.app/api/search?query=USDC', options)
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(data => {
    console.log(data.pairs);
    // Output: Array of matching trading pairs
    data.pairs.forEach(pair => {
      console.log(`${pair.baseToken.symbol}/${pair.quoteToken.symbol}: $${pair.priceUsd}`);
    });
  })
  .catch(err => console.error(err));

Understanding the Response

The API returns an array of matching pairs. Each pair includes:

{
  "pairAddress": "0x...",
  "baseToken": {
    "symbol": "USDC",
    "name": "USD Coin",
    "address": "0x..."
  },
  "quoteToken": {
    "symbol": "WETH",
    "name": "Wrapped Ether",
    "address": "0x..."
  },
  "priceUsd": "1.00",
  "volume": {
    "h24": 1500000
  },
  "liquidity": {
    "usd": 5000000
  },
  "dexId": "uniswap"
}

Search Parameters

• query (required): Token symbol, name, or contract address to search for

Real-World Use Case

Build a price tracker:

async function trackToken(symbol) {
  const res = await fetch(
    `https://dexscreener-pairs-api-production.up.railway.app/api/search?query=${symbol}`,
    { headers: { 'x-rapidapi-key': 'YOUR_KEY', 'x-rapidapi-host': 'dexscreener-pairs-api-production.up.railway.app' } }
  );
  const data = await res.json();

  if (data.pairs.length > 0) {
    const topPair = data.pairs[0];
    console.log(`${topPair.baseToken.symbol}: $${topPair.priceUsd} (24h vol: $${topPair.volume.h24})`);
  }
}

trackToken('MATIC');
