DefiLlama Pro API Skill

Use this skill to run DefiLlama Pro API 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://pro-api.llama.fi.
• Access to the curated OpenAPI schema URL:
• https://raw.githubusercontent.com/holon-run/uxc/main/skills/defillama-pro-openapi-skill/references/defillama-pro.openapi.json
• A DefiLlama Pro API key.

Scope

This skill covers a read-first analytics surface:

• protocol TVL list and per-protocol detail
• chain overview reads
• current token price lookups
• yield pool discovery
• yield chart history
• stablecoin dominance reads

This skill does not cover:

• write operations or account management
• the public unauthenticated host variants
• the full DefiLlama Pro endpoint surface

Authentication

DefiLlama Pro places the API key in the request path, between the host and the endpoint path.

Configure one API-key credential with a request path prefix template:

uxc auth credential set defillama-pro \
  --auth-type api_key \
  --secret-env DEFILLAMA_PRO_API_KEY \
  --path-prefix-template "/{{secret}}"

uxc auth binding add \
  --id defillama-pro \
  --host pro-api.llama.fi \
  --scheme https \
  --credential defillama-pro \
  --priority 100

Validate the active mapping when auth looks wrong:

uxc auth binding match https://pro-api.llama.fi

Core Workflow

1. Use the fixed link command by default:
• command -v defillama-pro-openapi-cli
• If missing, create it:

uxc link defillama-pro-openapi-cli https://pro-api.llama.fi --schema-url https://raw.githubusercontent.com/holon-run/uxc/main/skills/defillama-pro-openapi-skill/references/defillama-pro.openapi.json

• defillama-pro-openapi-cli -h

1. Inspect operation schema first:
• defillama-pro-openapi-cli get:/api/protocols -h
• defillama-pro-openapi-cli get:/coins/prices/current/{coins} -h
• defillama-pro-openapi-cli get:/yields/chart/{pool} -h

1. Prefer narrow read validation before broader reads:
• defillama-pro-openapi-cli get:/api/v2/chains
• defillama-pro-openapi-cli get:/api/protocol/{protocol} protocol=aave
• defillama-pro-openapi-cli get:/yields/pools

1. Execute with key/value parameters:
• defillama-pro-openapi-cli get:/api/protocol/{protocol} protocol=aave
• defillama-pro-openapi-cli get:/coins/prices/current/{coins} coins=ethereum:0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 searchWidth=4h
• defillama-pro-openapi-cli get:/stablecoins/stablecoindominance/{chain} chain=ethereum

Operation Groups

Protocol And Chain Analytics

• get:/api/protocols
• get:/api/protocol/{protocol}
• get:/api/v2/chains

Prices, Yields, And Stablecoins

• get:/coins/prices/current/{coins}
• get:/yields/pools
• get:/yields/chart/{pool}
• get:/stablecoins/stablecoindominance/{chain}

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 wallet, trading, or admin support.
• This skill assumes the Pro host and key-in-path auth model. Do not bind the same credential to a different path shape without checking the upstream docs first.
• API keys are sensitive because they appear in the request path. Use --secret-env or --secret-op, not shell history literals, when possible.
• Avoid sharing raw daemon logs when troubleshooting this integration. The key is part of the request path, so if you inspect ~/.uxc/daemon/daemon.log, sanitize, rotate, or delete the log after debugging and avoid verbose logging unless necessary.
• defillama-pro-openapi-cli ... is equivalent to uxc https://pro-api.llama.fi --schema-url ....
