DEX Screener for Large-Trade Analysis: What It Can and Cannot Cover

DEX Screener's API reports rolling buy/sell counts and volume per pair. Individual trades — needed for large-trade analysis — aren't in the reference reviewed.

Short answer

DEX Screener's pair data gives txns (buys/sells) and volume over windows like m5 and h1, but not a list of individual trades in the API reference reviewed, so large swaps can't be isolated from it alone. Its website shows a pair's recent trades for viewing. For programmatic large-trade work on DEXes, use a trade-level source (e.g. CoinGecko's trades endpoint with a size filter). ChartsPod's tape covers CEX and Hyperliquid markets.

Counts aren't sizes

A spike in m5 buys can be many small trades or one large one split up; counts can't tell.
