New API: Search

Building a search function for web3 products can be a complex and time-consuming process, requiring multiple APIs to fetch and display key metrics for end-users.

To solve this challenge, Birdeye Data Services (BDS) has introduced the Search API, available for Starter plan users and above. This powerful endpoint streamlines the process by consolidating multiple functions, allowing platforms to customize key metrics like liquidity and trading volume for their search features.

Let’s learn more about our latest endpoint:

Overview of the Search API

The Search API allows enterprise users to find token and market data through pattern matching or specific addresses in a single call. Businesses can customize which metrics, such as liquidity and trading volume, appear in the search dropdown using parameters like keyword, target, and sort_by. This flexibility empowers end-users to quickly evaluate tokens or markets and make informed decisions while saving time and resources for our customers in building an efficient search function.

Comparison to Birdeye’s Token List APIs

Before the Search API, web3 projects had to piece together search functions by combining the Token List APIs (V1 or V2, depending on the data plan you’re on) with other endpoints to fetch and display key metrics. Switching to different metrics required reviewing existing APIs or finding new ones from Birdeye Data Services, making the process resource-intensive, time-consuming, and prone to errors.

The Search API simplifies this by consolidating token and market performance data into a single API. With one request, users can display desired metrics in their search dropdown, saving time and resources while providing a seamless search experience for their users.

How Birdeye Data Services’ Search API empowers different web3 use cases

1. Decentralized exchanges (DEXes) and crypto wallets

The Search API enables DEXes and crypto wallets to:

• Help users quickly find tokens by name, ticker, or address on the platform.
• Provide real-time updates on tokens and trading pairs based on user input.
• Filter out scams and low-quality tokens using verified data, ensuring users focus on legitimate projects.

These features give users seamless access to comprehensive, trustworthy token information, improving the platform’s user experience and boosting retention.

2. Algorithmic trading platforms

For algorithmic trading platforms, the Search API delivers rapid access to token and market metrics, allowing them to:

• Identify arbitrage opportunities and profitable strategies with speed and precision.
• Filter token and market data for strategy-specific trading needs.
• Avoid low-quality or manipulated markets, ensuring reliable signals and safeguarding user funds.

This empowers platforms to trade with greater confidence and refined strategies.

3. Launchpads

Launchpads can leverage Birdeye’s Search API for:

• Displaying only verified tokens to enhance user trust and security.
• Simplifying token search and listing workflows.
• Providing real-time market data for newly launched tokens.

These features elevate the user experience while promoting a transparent and secure ecosystem for both project teams and investors.
