DefiLlama Prices API Skill
Use this skill to run DefiLlama public price 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://coins.llama.fi.
- Access to the curated OpenAPI schema URL:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/holon-run/uxc/main/skills/defillama-prices-openapi-skill/references/defillama-prices.openapi.json
Scope
This skill covers a small public read-only price surface on coins.llama.fi:
- current price lookups for one or more assets
This skill does not cover:
- write operations
- protocol or chain overview endpoints from
api.llama.fi
- yield endpoints from
yields.llama.fi
- DefiLlama Pro APIs
Authentication
This public skill does not require authentication.
Core Workflow
-
Use the fixed link command by default:
command -v defillama-prices-openapi-cli
- If missing, create it:
uxc link defillama-prices-openapi-cli https://coins.llama.fi --schema-url https://raw.githubusercontent.com/holon-run/uxc/main/skills/defillama-prices-openapi-skill/references/defillama-prices.openapi.json
defillama-prices-openapi-cli -h
-
Inspect operation schema first:
defillama-prices-openapi-cli get:/prices/current/{coins} -h
-
Prefer narrow read validation before broader reads:
defillama-prices-openapi-cli get:/prices/current/{coins} coins=coingecko:bitcoin searchWidth=4h
Operations
get:/prices/current/{coins}
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.
- This skill only wraps
coins.llama.fi; use the separate public analytics or yields skills for other DefiLlama hosts.
defillama-prices-openapi-cli <operation> ... is equivalent to uxc https://coins.llama.fi --schema-url <defillama_prices_openapi_schema> <operation> ....
