Orca Whirlpools in the API
Orca's pools on Solana are Whirlpools, a concentrated liquidity program. The API indexes them as one DEX, orca, and every swap row carries the Whirlpools program ID. Pool records carry dex_id. Swap rows carry factory_id, the program the swap went through.

What the Orca API returns
Pools
The pools the API indexes for Orca. A record carries both sides of the pair, current reserves, price in USD, and rolling volume and transaction counts.
Swaps
Individual transactions, newest first, with token symbols, USD prices at the time and the block they landed in. Reading them through the API needs a Dev plan or above.
Candles and streams
Historical OHLCV on any pool at the interval you ask for. Server-sent event streaming pushes swaps on a Dev plan or above, and prices run live on the Solana streaming page.
The data is the same shape on all 36 chains DexPaprika indexes. A query written against Orca runs against any other venue once you change the network and the dex_name.

Questions
Do I need an API key to query Orca data?
A free API key is the place to start. It needs no credit card and covers pools, tokens, DEXes and candles; swaps need a Dev plan or above. Register one at console.dexpaprika.com. Current quotas are on the pricing page.
How do I tell Orca swaps from other Solana DEXes?
Pool records carry dex_id: orca, and every swap row through them carries factory_id: whirLb…tyCc.
How do I list only Orca pools on Solana?
Call /networks/solana/pools/search with dex_name=orca. Add order_by=volume_usd_24h to get the busiest first.
How fresh is the Orca data?
On the free plan, data can run a short way behind the chain. Paid plans serve it in real time. The figures on this page were read from the API at 2026-10-16 00:10 UTC.
What counts as one request?
One call is one credit, including a call that returns many rows. Batch endpoints bill per item. Each streaming update also counts as one.
Can I stream Orca swaps instead of polling?
Yes. /sse/transactions pushes swaps on a pool or token as they land, and it needs a Dev plan or above. The transactions streaming docs cover it, and a running price stream is on the Solana streaming page.
How do I send my key once I have one?
Put the key in the Authorization header on its own, with nothing in front of it.
Which host do I call?
api.dexpaprika.com with a free key. Pro and Enterprise keys go to api-pro.dexpaprika.com.
