cmc-api-dex
API reference for CoinMarketCap DEX endpoints including token lookup, pools, transactions, trending, and security analysis. Use this skill whenever the user mentions DEX API, asks about on-chain token data, wants to look up tokens by contract address, needs security/rug risk checks, or is building DEX integrations. This is the definitive reference for CMC DEX API questions. Trigger: "DEX API", "token by contract address", "CMC security API", "liquidity pool API", "/cmc-api-dex"
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/bryan-cmc/cmc-api-dexWhat This Skill Does
The cmc-api-dex skill serves as an official OpenClaw interface for the CoinMarketCap DEX API. It allows agents to perform deep, on-chain analysis by fetching real-time data from decentralized exchanges like Uniswap, PancakeSwap, and Raydium. Unlike traditional CEX APIs that provide centralized exchange pricing, this skill bridges the gap to blockchain-native data, enabling users to query token metadata,liquidity pool status, trade history, and security-critical information directly from smart contract interactions. It is designed for developers, traders, and analysts who need to automate the monitoring of newly launched tokens, detect rug pulls, or integrate decentralized liquidity data into their own applications.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/bryan-cmc/cmc-api-dex
Ensure that you have generated a valid API key from the CoinMarketCap Developer Portal. You must store this key in your agent's configuration, as every request requires the X-CMC_PRO_API_KEY header for successful authentication.
Use Cases
- Token Security Analysis: Screen tokens before trading by checking liquidity depth and recent transaction volatility to identify potential risks.
- Market Discovery: Track the latest market movers, including newly launched tokens and high-performing meme coins across different chains.
- DEX Integration: Build automated trading bots or analytical dashboards that pull real-time pair quotes and liquidity data.
- Portfolio Monitoring: Batch-query prices for custom tokens held in non-custodial wallets to track performance in real-time.
- Liquidity Analysis: Monitor liquidity removal events to detect potential rug pulls or significant shifts in pool stability.
Example Prompts
- "Check the current liquidity and recent transactions for the token at address 0x123... on Uniswap."
- "Find the top 10 trending DEX tokens on the Solana network today."
- "Is this token safe? Run a security analysis and check the liquidity pool status for contract address 0xabc..."
Tips & Limitations
- Rate Limiting: Always monitor your API tier usage. High-frequency polling of price endpoints can quickly consume your monthly request quota.
- Endpoint Types: Remember that some endpoints require POST requests with JSON bodies, while others use GET. Always check the API reference docs if you receive a 405 Method Not Allowed error.
- Accuracy: Data is fetched directly from the blockchain; ensure you are using the correct network and contract address combinations, as tokens with identical names exist across different chains.
