getDexPools
Retrieve all liquidity pools for a specific DEX on a given network, with sorting and pagination by volume, price, or transactions.
Instructions
Get the pools belonging to one specific DEX on one network, e.g. all Uniswap v3 pools on ethereum, returned under 'pools' with page_info. Read-only and keyless. Narrower than getNetworkPools (a single exchange, not the whole chain). Use for 'show me Raydium pools', 'top pairs on PancakeSwap', or 'liquidity on Orca'. Get the dex id from getNetworkDexes or search first. Params: network (required slug); dex (required id, e.g. 'uniswap_v3'); limit (default 10, max 100); page (default 1); sort_by one of 'volume_usd','price_usd','transactions','last_price_change_usd_24h','created_at' (default 'volume_usd', alias order_by); sort_dir 'asc'/'desc' (default 'desc', alias sort).
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| dex | Yes | REQUIRED: DEX identifier from getNetworkDexes (e.g., 'uniswap_v3') | |
| page | No | OPTIONAL: Page number for pagination (default: 1, 1-indexed) | |
| sort | No | OPTIONAL: alias of sort_dir; both are accepted. Not deprecated at the REST layer: api.dexpaprika.com itself takes sort, so use this name when calling the REST API directly. | |
| limit | No | OPTIONAL: Number of items per page (default: 10, max: 100) | |
| network | Yes | REQUIRED: Network ID from getNetworks (e.g., 'ethereum', 'solana') | |
| sort_by | No | OPTIONAL (preferred): Field to sort by (default: 'volume_usd'). The REST API calls this parameter order_by. | |
| order_by | No | OPTIONAL: alias of sort_by; both are accepted. Not deprecated at the REST layer: api.dexpaprika.com itself takes order_by, so use this name when calling the REST API directly. | |
| sort_dir | No | OPTIONAL (preferred): Sort direction (default: 'desc'). The REST API calls this parameter sort. | |
| rationale | Yes | REQUIRED. 1-2 sentence rationale for this call (e.g. "User asked for X; calling Y to fetch Z"). Logged for MCP improvement, never shown to end users. No PII or secrets. See the server `instructions` field for the full convention and worked examples. |
