Quickstart

Pendle V2 is a yield-trading protocol that lets users split yield-bearing assets into Principal Tokens (PT) and Yield Tokens (YT), trade them on AMM markets, and provide liquidity — all on-chain. The fastest way to start is the off-chain Backend API — no wallet required.

Prerequisites

• curl or any HTTP client (browser, fetch, axios, etc.)

Step 1 — Browse available markets

Endpoint: GET https://api-v2.pendle.finance/core/v2/markets/all

Returns all Pendle markets across every supported chain. Supports skip and limit for pagination (default limit is 10, maximum is 100).

curl "https://api-v2.pendle.finance/core/v2/markets/all?limit=10&skip=0"

const res = await fetch(
  "https://api-v2.pendle.finance/core/v2/markets/all?limit=10&skip=0"
);
const { markets } = await res.json();
console.log(markets);

Key fields in each market object:

Field	Description
chainId	Chain the market is deployed on (e.g., 1 for Ethereum, 42161 for Arbitrum)
address	Market contract address
expiry	Unix timestamp when the market matures
impliedApy	Current implied fixed APY of the market
pt.price.usd	Current PT price in USD

Step 2 — Get market data

Endpoint: GET https://api-v2.pendle.finance/core/v2/markets/all

Use the address field from Step 1 to identify markets of interest. For filtering and additional query options (e.g., by chain, by asset category), see the full API reference.

The example below fetches all markets on Arbitrum (chainId 42161) and filters client-side for a known market address:

curl "https://api-v2.pendle.finance/core/v2/markets/all?limit=100&skip=0" \
  | jq '[.markets[] | select(.chainId == 42161 and .address == "{MARKET_ADDRESS}")]'

Replace {MARKET_ADDRESS} with the address of the market you want to inspect (obtained from Step 1).

Step 3 — Get sPENDLE staking data (optional)

Endpoint: GET https://api-v2.pendle.finance/core/v1/spendle/data

curl "https://api-v2.pendle.finance/core/v1/spendle/data"

Returns aggregate sPENDLE staking statistics including total PENDLE staked, historical APRs, per-epoch revenues, and airdrop breakdowns for the last 12 epochs.
