Token API

The Token API provides comprehensive programmatic access to token data on the Linea network. This API is designed for developers, builders and analysts who need detailed information about ERC-20 tokens and associated activity on Linea.

Alpha Version Disclaimer

Linea's Token API is an alpha version and is subject to breaking changes. We recommend using it for testing and development purposes only. We are looking for your feedback on this new service — please reach out to us on Discord in the #developer-chat channel.

The Token API's key uses cases include:

  • Building automated trading bots
  • Creating token monitoring dashboards
  • Performing onchain data analysis
  • DeFi application integration
  • Wallet and transaction tracking

Data sources​

Data collection​

Data is collected from multiple sources:

  1. Onchain data
  • Smart contract state (name, symbol, decimals)
  1. External sources

Data updates​

The API data updates at various intervals, depending on the data type:

  • Token detection and metadata: every two hours
  • Historical prices: every hour
  • Current prices: every five minutes

API endpoints​

Tokens​

These endpoints provide information about tokens on Linea when available, including their metadata, prices, and trading activity.

Usage examples​

Simple token price bot​

async function monitorPriceChange(contractAddress: string, threshold: number) {
  const BASE_URL = 'https://not.live.yet';
  const initialPrice = await fetch(`${BASE_URL}/api/tokens/${contractAddress}`).then(r => r.json());

  setInterval(async () => {
    const currentPrice = await fetch(`${BASE_URL}/api/tokens/${contractAddress}`).then(r => r.json());
    const priceChange = (currentPrice.price.usd - initialPrice.price.usd) / initialPrice.price.usd;

    if (Math.abs(priceChange) > threshold) {
      // Execute trading strategy
      console.log(`Price changed by ${priceChange}% - Trading signal`);
    }
  }, 60000); // Check every minute
}

Best practices​

  1. Rate limiting
  • This is an alpha version with strict rate limits per calling IP:
    • 2 requests per second
    • 60 requests per minute
  • Cache static data
  • Implement backoff strategies when limits are reached
  1. Error handling
  • Always check HTTP status of responses
  • Implement retry with exponential backoff
  • Validate token addresses before requests
  1. Performance
  • (Not available yet) Use pagination for large lists
  • Implement local caching when appropriate

Security considerations​

  • Validate all input parameters
  • Sanitize response data
