DEX Screener Token Profiles: History Limits - Avoid Silent Gaps

Token-profile endpoints list the latest profiles and recent updates. Earlier versions of a profile aren't kept, so changes are only visible if you stored them.

Short answer

DEX Screener's token-profiles endpoints (latest and recent updates) return current profile fields with no timestamps in the documented schema and no history. A changed website link or description replaces the old one without a record. To track changes, poll at a fixed interval, store each version with retrieval time, and diff fields; log failed polls so a change during a gap is dated by the gap's boundaries.

Where silent gaps come from

  • Profile edits between polls
  • Null fields read as removals
  • Failed polls hiding change times
  • Only latest version stored

Illustrative: a project's website link changed; with a logged failed poll, the change could only be dated within a 10-minute window — still useful for checking announcements.

Sources and methodology
