In the rapidly evolving DeFi space, accessing reliable, multi-chain data is crucial. Both Mobula APIs and DEXTools V2 APIs offer valuable features, but Mobula stands out as the more comprehensive, flexible solution for developers building applications beyond Ethereum. Below, we’ll compare key features and provide code examples to highlight why Mobula APIs offer more for DeFi developers.

​

Analysis

  • Mobula: Provides extensive support for multi-blockchain data, including Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Solana, and more. It delivers deeper market insights by combining on-chain and off-chain data, which is critical for advanced analytics and building next-gen DeFi applications.
  • DEXTools V2: Great for Ethereum-based DEX data but lacks broader blockchain support, historical data depth, and off-chain metrics.

​
Code Examples

​
1. Fetching Token Data Across Multiple Blockchains

Mobula’s APIs allow developers to easily query token data from multiple blockchains in one request. Using cURL: 
# Mobula: Fetch token data on Ethereum and BSC
curl -X 'GET' \
  'https://api.mobula.io/api/1/market/data?blockchain=ethereum&blockchain=bsc&token=0xYourTokenAddress' \
  -H 'accept: application/json'
Using Axios: 
const axios = require('axios');
axios.get('https://api.mobula.io/api/1/market/data', {
  params: {
    blockchain: ['ethereum', 'bsc'],
    token: '0xYourTokenAddress'
  }
}).then(response => console.log(response.data));

​
2. Retrieving Real-Time Market Data

Both Mobula and DEXTools provide real-time market data, but Mobula covers more blockchains and has greater flexibility. Using cURL (Mobula): 
curl --request GET \
  --url 'https://api.mobula.io/api/1/market/blockchain/pairs?blockchain=ethereum&sortBy=createdAt'
Using Axios (Mobula): 
axios.get('https://api.mobula.io/api/1/market/blockchain/pairs', {
  params: {
    blockchain: "ethereum",
    sortBy: "createdAt"
  }
})
  .then(response => console.log(response.data))
  .catch(error => console.error(error));

​
3. Vesting and Unlock Data (Exclusive to Mobula)

Mobula provides detailed token vesting and unlock schedules, crucial for understanding tokenomics and potential market impacts. Using cURL (Mobula): 
curl --request GET \
  --url 'https://api.mobula.io/api/1/token/vesting?token=0xYourTokenAddress' \
  -H 'accept: application/json'
Using Axios (Mobula): 
axios.get('https://api.mobula.io/api/1/token/vesting', {
  params: {
    token: '0xYourTokenAddress'
  }
}).then(response => console.log(response.data));

​
4. Detecting New Trading Pairs in Real-Time

Mobula’s real-time new pair detection gives developers a competitive edge in identifying emerging trends. Using cURL (Mobula): 
curl --request GET \
  --url 'https://api.mobula.io/api/1/market/new-pairs' \
  -H 'accept: application/json'
Using Axios (Mobula): 
axios.get('https://api.mobula.io/api/1/market/new-pairs')
  .then(response => console.log(response.data));

​
5. Comprehensive Historical Data

Mobula offers complete historical data for price and volume trends, ideal for backtesting and advanced analytics. Using cURL (Mobula): 
curl -X 'GET' \
  'https://api.mobula.io/api/1/market/history?token=0xYourTokenAddress&from=2023-01-01&to=2023-10-01' \
  -H 'accept: application/json'
Using Axios (Mobula): 
axios.get('https://api.mobula.io/api/1/market/history', {
  params: {
    token: '0xYourTokenAddress',
    from: '2023-01-01',
    to: '2023-10-01'
  }
}).then(response => console.log(response.data));

​
Why Mobula APIs Stand Out

  1. Multi-Chain Support: Mobula offers unified endpoints for 50+ blockchains, including EVM and non-EVM networks like Solana, making it versatile for DeFi development.
  2. Comprehensive Data: Combines on-chain data with off-chain metrics (social sentiment, news), offering a 360° view of tokens, which is critical for advanced analytics.
  3. Advanced Customization: Mobula enables highly customizable queries for market data, historical trends, vesting schedules, and more.
  4. Developer-Friendly: Extensive documentation, SDKs, and guides ensure smooth integration and fast development cycles.
  5. Exclusive Features: Real-time new pair detection, token vesting schedules, and more give Mobula a competitive edge in the DeFi space.
