## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Base Token Risk & Info Scanner

Fast, honest **on-chain risk + info scan** for any **Base** ERC-20 token. Built for trading agents and developers vetting fresh Base tokens (Uniswap V4 / Clanker / bonding-curve launches). **No API key, no rate limits, no signup** — pass a token address, get a structured verdict.

### What it checks (on-chain, at a specific block)

- **ERC-20 metadata** — name, symbol, decimals, total supply
- **Ownership** — whether ownership is renounced (i.e. can the owner still act on the token)
- **Live DEX market** (via DexScreener) — liquidity (USD), 24h volume, price, and which DEX
- **Risk flags** — *no DEX pair* (dead/unlisted), *thin liquidity*, *zero 24h volume*, *owner not renounced*
- **A transparent verdict** — `BASIC-PASS` or `CAUTION` — plus an explicit list of what it did **not** check

### Honest by design

This is a **basic on-chain scan, not a full security audit.** It never stamps a token "SAFE." It reports verified facts + flags, and always lists what it did *not* check (sell-tax / honeypot simulation, LP lock/burn, holder concentration, hidden mint). **Absence of flags is not a safety guarantee.** That honesty is the point — agents can trust the fields are real and the gaps are stated.

### Input

```json
{ "tokens": ["0x3e9fa140b52c9a9f5327e67ec8759b1f3d3b23c2"] }
```

One result is produced (and billed) per token address.

### Output (one item per token)

```json
{
  "token": "0x3e9fa140b52c9a9f5327e67ec8759b1f3d3b23c2",
  "scannedAtBlock": 47723911,
  "name": "Kenoma", "symbol": "KENM", "decimals": 18,
  "totalSupply": "100000000000000000000000000000",
  "ownershipRenounced": null,
  "market": { "hasPair": false, "liquidityUsd": null, "volume24h": null, "priceUsd": null, "dex": null },
  "flags": ["NO DEX pair on Base - not tradeable / unindexed (dead or pre-liquidity)"],
  "notChecked": ["sell-tax/honeypot SELL simulation", "LP lock/burn status", "holder concentration", "mint/hidden functions"],
  "verdict": "CAUTION",
  "disclaimer": "On-chain + DEX scan, NOT a full audit. No flags != safe. See notChecked."
}
```

### Pricing

Pay-per-event — charged per token scanned. No subscription, no API key, no signup.

### Use cases

- Trading agents vetting a fresh launch before buying
- Bots filtering a feed of new Base pairs down to the tradeable, non-dead ones
- Dashboards / dev tools adding a quick "is this token real and liquid?" check

# Actor input Schema

## `tokens` (type: `array`):

Base ERC-20 token contract addresses (0x...) to scan. One result is produced per address.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "tokens": [
    "0x3e9fa140b52c9a9f5327e67ec8759b1f3d3b23c2"
  ]
}
```

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "tokens": [
        "0x3e9fa140b52c9a9f5327e67ec8759b1f3d3b23c2"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("eliai/base-token-risk-scanner").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});
