API

On this page, you can find our different endpoints and some examples of how to quickly connect them to your favorite data analytics tool.

Our API endpoint can be found at https://api.growthepie.xyz/

Master endpoint

This endpoint contains info on all supported chains and metrics. It is mostly static meta data like chain names, important links, etc.

v1/master.json

Contracts endpoint

We are moving all contract labeling logic to the Open Labels Initiative standard. As a first step, we released labels.growthepie.xyz and are currently working on better API endpoints. Please reach out to us via our Discord or X if you need API access to the new labels dataset - your input will be very valuable for scoping our API endpoints)

DEPRECATED (not updated anymore)! This endpoint returns all labeled contracts for all our covered chains. It includes contract address, contract name, project name, sub category key, and origin key (which is the chain)

v1/contracts.json

Sample Reponse

[
    {
        "address": "0xEa2a41c02fA86A4901826615F9796e603C6a4491",
        "contract_name": "BridgeToBase",
        "project_name": "Base",
        "sub_category_key": "erc721",
        "origin_key": "base"
    },
    {
        "address": "0xBA12222222228d8Ba445958a75a0704d566BF2C8",
        "contract_name": "Vault",
        "project_name": "Balancer",
        "sub_category_key": "dex",
        "origin_key": "arbitrum"
    },
    ...
]

Metric endpoint

These are multiple endpoints, one for each metric that we list.

v1/export/{METRIC}.json

It is currently available for the following metrics:

daa, fdv, fees, market_cap, profit, rent_paid, stables_mcap, throughput, tvl, txcosts, txcount

Example

https://api.growthepie.xyz/v1/export/daa.json

Sample Response

[
 {
        "metric_key": "daa",
        "origin_key": "imx",
        "date": "2023-04-21",
        "value": 8300.0
    },
    {
        "metric_key": "daa",
        "origin_key": "imx",
        "date": "2023-04-25",
        "value": 7834.0
    },
    {
        "metric_key": "daa",
        "origin_key": "imx",
        "date": "2023-04-29",
        "value": 7558.0
    },
    ...
]

Metrics that represent values in currencies like USD or ETH always contain 2 metric keys (i.e. tvl and tvl_eth)

Fundamentals endpoint

This is a very powerful endpoint for analytics and tracking. It returns all Layer 2 metrics for all chains on a daily aggregation level. The data updates daily at 5 a.m. UTC.

v1/fundamentals_full.json

This endpoint will grow in size and will return >10MB of data. We also created a filtered endpoint (only last 365 days and no eth values) which can be used in Google Sheets and other applications that limit the input data to 10MB.

v1/fundamentals.json

Sample Response

[
    {
        "metric_key": "daa",
        "origin_key": "imx",
        "date": "2023-04-21",
        "value": 8300.0
    },
    {
        "metric_key": "txcount",
        "origin_key": "zksync_era",
        "date": "2023-02-14",
        "value": 6.0
    },
    {
        "metric_key": "daa",
        "origin_key": "imx",
        "date": "2023-04-25",
        "value": 7834.0
    },
    ...
]

Example Python

You can quickly load data on all Layer 2s into a Pandas dataframe using the following code snippet:

import requests
import pandas as pd

url = 'https://api.growthepie.xyz/v1/fundamentals_full.json'
response = requests.get(url)
df = pd.DataFrame(response.json())

If you want to quickly visualize the data points you can use the dataframe plot function. Here filtered down to Arbitrum and transaction count:

df[(df['metric_key'] == 'txcount') & (df['origin_key'] == 'arbitrum')].sort_values('date').plot(x='date', y='value', figsize=(15, 5), title='Arbitrum Daily Transactions')

Example Excel

Excel is still the most widely used tool for data analytics. Using our API, you can build this neat dashboard in less than 2 minutes:

Here is a quick guide on how to pull data from our API and visualize it

Guide for Excel usage

Example PowerBI

PowerBI is a powerful BI and data visualization tool. If you want to load all Layer 2 data into a PowerBI dashboard follow these steps:

  • Open a new PowerBI file

  • Load data using the "Web" data connector

  • Paste the API endpoint in the URL field

  • Make sure the "value" column is formatted as decimal

  • Load the data into your report and have fun exploring.

Example Google Sheets

Sometimes it can be useful to have up-to-date Layer 2 data in Google Sheets. With our endpoint, it is very simple.
