What is DefiLlama Public API Skill?
The DefiLlama Public API Skill allows developers to interact with one of the most comprehensive sources of decentralized finance data. By leveraging a curated OpenAPI schema and the uxc execution layer, this skill provides a structured and predictable way to fetch Total Value Locked (TVL) data, protocol specifics, and chain overviews. It is a core component of the Openclaw Skills ecosystem designed for users who need read-first guardrails and stable JSON outputs for their automation workflows.
This skill is specifically optimized for the api.llama.fi endpoint, ensuring high performance for public analytics. It avoids the complexities of authentication for public data while providing a standardized interface that can be easily integrated into larger research or monitoring pipelines.
DefiLlama Public API Skill Use Cases
- Tracking real-time TVL changes across major blockchain protocols.
- Automating daily reports on the growth of specific DeFi sectors.
- Researching historical protocol data for market analysis.
- Integrating blockchain chain-level metrics into custom dashboards using Openclaw Skills.
How DefiLlama Public API Skill Works
- The skill uses uxc to link a local command-line interface to the DefiLlama public API endpoint.
- It pulls a curated OpenAPI schema to define valid operations and parameters.
- Users execute commands like defillama-openapi-cli to query specific data points.
- The skill validates inputs against the schema before sending requests to the API.
- Structured JSON responses are returned for easy parsing and automation.
DefiLlama Public API Skill Setup
First, ensure that uxc is installed in your PATH. Then, create the link to the DefiLlama API using the following command:
uxc link defillama-openapi-cli https://api.llama.fi --schema-url https://raw.githubusercontent.com/holon-run/uxc/main/skills/defillama-openapi-skill/references/defillama-public.openapi.json
Verify the setup by checking the help menu:
defillama-openapi-cli -h
DefiLlama Public API Skill Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill organizes data into structured JSON envelopes to ensure compatibility with other Openclaw Skills. The schema focuses on the following primary fields:
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ok | Boolean | Indicates if the API request was successful |
| kind | String | The category of data returned (e.g., protocol, chain) |
| data | Object/Array | The primary payload containing TVL or protocol metrics |
| error | String | Detailed error message if the request fails |
DefiLlama Public API Skill Advanced Features
- Read-only guardrails to prevent accidental write operations or state changes.
- Support for narrow read validation to optimize API usage and response times.
- Direct integration with uxc for unified authentication and error-handling patterns.
- Local schema inspection to discover new endpoints without leaving the terminal.
- Optimized for programmatic use within larger Openclaw Skills automation scripts.
