DefiLlama Prices API Skill#

Use this skill to run DefiLlama public price API operations through uxc + OpenAPI.

Reuse the uxc skill for shared execution, auth, and error-handling guidance.

Prerequisites#

• uxc is installed and available in PATH.
• Network access to https://coins.llama.fi.
• Access to the curated OpenAPI schema URL:
  • https://raw.githubusercontent.com/holon-run/uxc/main/skills/defillama-prices-openapi-skill/references/defillama-prices.openapi.json

Scope#

This skill covers a small public read-only price surface on coins.llama.fi:

• current price lookups for one or more assets

This skill does not cover:

• write operations
• protocol or chain overview endpoints from api.llama.fi
• yield endpoints from yields.llama.fi
• DefiLlama Pro APIs

Authentication#

This public skill does not require authentication.

Core Workflow#

1. Use the fixed link command by default:
   • command -v defillama-prices-openapi-cli
   • If missing, create it: uxc link defillama-prices-openapi-cli https://coins.llama.fi --schema-url https://raw.githubusercontent.com/holon-run/uxc/main/skills/defillama-prices-openapi-skill/references/defillama-prices.openapi.json
   • defillama-prices-openapi-cli -h
2. Inspect operation schema first:
   • defillama-prices-openapi-cli get:/prices/current/{coins} -h
3. Prefer narrow read validation before broader reads:
   • defillama-prices-openapi-cli get:/prices/current/{coins} coins=coingecko:bitcoin searchWidth=4h

Operations#

• get:/prices/current/{coins}

Guardrails#

• Keep automation on the JSON output envelope; do not use --text.
• Parse stable fields first: ok, kind, protocol, data, error.
• Treat this v1 skill as read-only.
• This skill only wraps coins.llama.fi; use the separate public analytics or yields skills for other DefiLlama hosts.
• defillama-prices-openapi-cli <operation> ... is equivalent to uxc https://coins.llama.fi --schema-url <defillama_prices_openapi_schema> <operation> ....
