Query live on-chain data via the Dune REST API. Pair with MoonPay to create and fund the wallets you analyze.
Setup
Get a Dune API Key
- Sign up at https://dune.com
- Go to Settings → API Keys → Create new key
bashexport DUNE_API_KEY="your-api-key"
Base URL: https://api.dune.com/api/v1
Auth header: X-Dune-API-Key: $DUNE_API_KEY
Key Endpoints
| Action | Method | Endpoint |
|---|---|---|
| Execute a saved query | POST | /query/{query_id}/execute |
| Get execution status + results | GET | /execution/{execution_id}/results |
| Execute raw SQL directly | POST | /sql/execute |
| Cancel execution | POST | /execution/{execution_id}/cancel |
| Get query definition | GET | /query/{query_id} |
Common Workflows
Run a Saved Query
bash# 1. Execute EXEC=$(curl -s -X POST "https://api.dune.com/api/v1/query/3237661/execute" \ -H "X-Dune-API-Key: $DUNE_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"performance": "medium"}') EXEC_ID=$(echo $EXEC | jq -r '.execution_id') echo "execution_id: $EXEC_ID" # 2. Poll until complete while true; do STATUS=$(curl -s "https://api.dune.com/api/v1/execution/$EXEC_ID/results" \ -H "X-Dune-API-Key: $DUNE_API_KEY") STATE=$(echo $STATUS | jq -r '.state') echo "State: $STATE" if [[ "$STATE" == "QUERY_STATE_COMPLETED" || "$STATE" == "QUERY_STATE_FAILED" ]]; then echo $STATUS | jq '.result.rows[:5]' break fi sleep 3 done
Execute Raw DuneSQL
bashcurl -s -X POST "https://api.dune.com/api/v1/sql/execute" \ -H "X-Dune-API-Key: $DUNE_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "sql": "SELECT block_time, hash, value/1e18 AS eth FROM ethereum.transactions WHERE lower(\"from\") = lower('0xYOUR_WALLET') ORDER BY block_time DESC LIMIT 20", "performance": "medium" }' | jq '.execution_id'
Query with Parameters
bashcurl -s -X POST "https://api.dune.com/api/v1/query/3237661/execute" \ -H "X-Dune-API-Key: $DUNE_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "query_parameters": { "wallet": "0xd8dA6BF26964aF9D7eEd9e03E53415D37aA96045", "days": 30 }, "performance": "medium" }' | jq '.execution_id'
Wallet Management with MoonPay
Use the MoonPay CLI (mp) to create and fund the wallets you analyze with Dune.
Create a Wallet to Monitor
bashmp wallet create --name "dune-agent-wallet" mp wallet retrieve --wallet "dune-agent-wallet" # Note your Ethereum address for Dune queries
Query Your MoonPay Wallet On-Chain
bashWALLET=$(mp wallet retrieve --wallet "dune-agent-wallet" --json | jq -r '.addresses.ethereum') EXEC_ID=$(curl -s -X POST "https://api.dune.com/api/v1/sql/execute" \ -H "X-Dune-API-Key: $DUNE_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d "{\ \"sql\": \"SELECT block_time, hash, value/1e18 AS eth, \\\"to\\\" FROM ethereum.transactions WHERE lower(\\\"from\\\") = lower('$WALLET') ORDER BY block_time DESC LIMIT 20\",\ \"performance\": \"medium\"\ }" | jq -r '.execution_id') curl -s "https://api.dune.com/api/v1/execution/$EXEC_ID/results" \ -H "X-Dune-API-Key: $DUNE_API_KEY" | jq '.result.rows'
Fund the Wallet
bash# Buy ETH for gas mp buy --token eth_ethereum --amount 0.1 --wallet <your-eth-address> --email <email> # Check balances mp token balance list --wallet <your-eth-address> --chain ethereum # Bridge to follow yields mp token bridge \ --from-wallet dune-agent-wallet --from-chain ethereum \ --from-token 0xa0b86991c6218b36c1d19d4a2e9eb0ce3606eb48 \ --from-amount 500 \ --to-chain polygon \ --to-token 0x2791Bca1f2de4661ED88A30C99A7a9449Aa84174
Execution States
