Discovery and markets API
Which categories are tokens filed under?
The fixed list of token categories (use cases, sectors, launch venues), each with an id and a name. It answers no question about any one token.
/api/external/discovery/token-categoriesWhat it returns
A fixed list of token categories (use cases, sectors and launch venues), each with a stable id and a display name. No chain and no subject in the request. It is a different list from sectors: some categories exist in only one of the two, and a shared id can carry another name.
Chains
This endpoint is not tied to a chain: it takes no chain in its request.
Request
Send your key in the x-dex-data-key header. Replace each <placeholder> with a real value.
curl -H "x-dex-data-key: $DEXDATA_API_KEY" \ "https://api.dexdata.io/api/external/discovery/token-categories"
