Your first
Celo call
The five busiest Celo pools by 24h volume, then the live price of USD₮. Every row carries both token symbols, so there is no second lookup before you can read it.
Paste and run. A free API key lifts you to 100K requests a month.
# top Celo pools by 24h volume
curl "https://api.dexpaprika.com/networks/celo/pools/search?order_by=volume_usd_24h&sort=desc&limit=5"

Open one SSE connection and we push token prices and per-block pool reserve deltas as Celo state changes, a push-based reserves feed you will not find at CoinGecko or DexScreener. Poll loops re-fetch unchanged state and still miss mid-block moves. With push, the only gap between on-chain state and your app is the network round-trip plus our block indexing.
# push: live USD₮ price ticks on Celo. One connection, no polling

Questions about the Celo DEX API
Which Celo DEXes does the API cover?
4 Celo DEXes including Uniswap V3, Velodrome SlipStream, Ubeswap v3, Carbon DeFi, with 100+ active pools across them, as of 2026-10-09 04:33 UTC.
How fresh is the Celo data?
Data updates every Celo block. Paid plans get it in real time; on the free plan a response can run a short way behind the chain. SSE streams push changes as they happen, so there is no polling interval between your app and Celo chain state.
Do I need an API key for Celo data?
For anything past a first test, yes. A free API key takes under a minute, needs no credit card, and covers 100K requests per month on every chain, with every endpoint except pool transactions and token OHLCV: pool transactions start at Dev and token OHLCV at Pro. Dev ($30/mo) raises that to 500K, and Pro ($99/mo) lifts the ceiling to 5M requests.
How do I get a Celo token price with the API?
GET /networks/celo/tokens/{address} returns the live USD price with 24h volume and liquidity in one call. For portfolios, /networks/celo/multi/prices returns batched prices for up to 10 tokens per request.
Does streaming work for Celo?
Yes. SSE streams at streaming.dexpaprika.com push Celo token prices (/sse/prices) and per-block pool reserve deltas (/sse/reserves, needs an API key). That is a push-based reserves feed you will not find at CoinGecko or DexScreener.
