For most DEX Screener jobs, start with DexScreener Token Pair & Boosted Token Scraper: it covers 3 of 7 core fields (price, liquidity, volume) at $0.99 per 1,000 results on Apify's Free plan. The top published score for DEX Screener goes to DexScreener Scraper: Prices, OHLC, Audit & Top Traders by sourabhbgp (85 of 100), a Store tool from another publisher, listed for reference.

Bold labels are the core fields for this website, the rest are fields that differ between routes. A white capsule means every data line stops there. The red line is the official API; its field coverage is not compared. A crossed red line means there is no open official API.

All 9 tools, scored

Catalogue Actors link to their detail pages; the score (0 to 100) is the published formula, identical for every tool. Other Store tools follow in their own table, for reference. Price is the published primary-result rate per 1,000 (the Free-plan rate where the price is tiered; higher Apify plans pay less); start events and platform usage are excluded.
