DexScreener API Skill#

Use this skill to run DexScreener public market data 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://api.dexscreener.com.
• Access to the curated OpenAPI schema URL:
  • https://raw.githubusercontent.com/holon-run/uxc/main/skills/dexscreener-openapi-skill/references/dexscreener-public.openapi.json

Scope#

This skill covers a read-first DexScreener surface for:

• token profile discovery
• latest and top token boosts
• pair search by free-text query
• pair lookup by chain and pair address
• token market lookup by chain and token address list

This skill does not cover:

• write operations
• private or authenticated workflows
• every DexScreener endpoint
• trading or wallet execution

Authentication#

DexScreener public reads in this skill do not require authentication.

Core Workflow#

1. Use the fixed link command by default:
   • command -v dexscreener-openapi-cli
   • If missing, create it: uxc link dexscreener-openapi-cli https://api.dexscreener.com --schema-url https://raw.githubusercontent.com/holon-run/uxc/main/skills/dexscreener-openapi-skill/references/dexscreener-public.openapi.json
   • dexscreener-openapi-cli -h
2. Inspect operation schema first:
   • dexscreener-openapi-cli get:/token-profiles/latest/v1 -h
   • dexscreener-openapi-cli get:/latest/dex/search -h
   • dexscreener-openapi-cli get:/latest/dex/pairs/{chainId}/{pairId} -h
   • dexscreener-openapi-cli get:/tokens/v1/{chainId}/{tokenAddresses} -h
3. Prefer narrow reads before broader scans:
   • dexscreener-openapi-cli get:/token-profiles/latest/v1
   • dexscreener-openapi-cli get:/token-boosts/latest/v1
   • dexscreener-openapi-cli get:/latest/dex/search q=solana
4. Execute with key/value parameters:
   • dexscreener-openapi-cli get:/latest/dex/pairs/{chainId}/{pairId} chainId=solana pairId=GgzbfpKtozV6Hyiahkh2yNVZBZsJa4pcetCmjNtgEXiM
   • dexscreener-openapi-cli get:/tokens/v1/{chainId}/{tokenAddresses} chainId=solana tokenAddresses=So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112

Operations#

• get:/token-profiles/latest/v1
• get:/token-boosts/latest/v1
• get:/token-boosts/top/v1
• get:/latest/dex/search
• get:/latest/dex/pairs/{chainId}/{pairId}
• get:/tokens/v1/{chainId}/{tokenAddresses}

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. Do not imply order entry, swaps, or wallet operations.
• Keep q focused to a token, pair, chain, or symbol rather than broad crawler-style searches.
• For tokenAddresses, start with a single address or a short comma-separated list before scaling up.
• DexScreener enforces endpoint-specific rate limits. Profile and boost endpoints are typically lower-throughput than pair and token lookup endpoints, so cache aggressively when polling discovery feeds.
• DexScreener data is market-observation oriented and may be noisier on long-tail tokens than curated exchange-only feeds.
• dexscreener-openapi-cli <operation> ... is equivalent to uxc https://api.dexscreener.com --schema-url <dexscreener_openapi_schema> <operation> ....
