Tokens

Our tokens endpoints currently provide real-time and historical data for token transfers, trades, holder analytics, and market metrics across the Solana ecosystem.

API Endpoint	Data Points	Usage Summary	Use Cases
Instruction Names	Program instructions, discriminants, instruction mapping	Identifies and categorizes token operations across all Solana programs, providing human-readable instruction names and program relationships	Smart contract development, protocol analysis, transaction debugging, program monitoring
Token Trades	Market pairs, price data, volume metrics, trade execution details	Aggregates trading activity across DEXs and programs, providing comprehensive market data with customizable time windows and filtering	Trading strategy development, arbitrage detection, market making, price analysis
Token Transfers	Transfer details, wallet interactions, USD amounts, transaction signatures	Tracks token movements between wallets with detailed filtering options for comprehensive flow analysis and transaction monitoring	Whale tracking, fund flow analysis, risk assessment, transaction monitoring
Token Details	Token metrics, supply data, 24h activity, market performance	Delivers comprehensive token information including recent activity metrics, supply changes, and market performance indicators	Token research, market analysis, due diligence, portfolio tracking
Token Holders Time Series	Holder statistics, distribution metrics, time series data	Provides temporal analysis of token holder patterns, distribution changes, and community growth metrics	Distribution analysis, community tracking, adoption metrics, governance analysis
Token Volume Time Series	Volume data, USD metrics, temporal patterns	Monitors token transfer volumes and patterns over time, enabling analysis of market activity and liquidity trends	Volume analysis, liquidity assessment, market activity monitoring
Tokens	Market metrics, supply data, ecosystem statistics	Provides comprehensive overview of all tracked tokens with detailed sorting and filtering capabilities	Market screening, token discovery, trend analysis, ecosystem monitoring
