Bungee Auto supports trading any token with sufficient liquidity, regardless of whether it appears in the token list responses.

Token Sources and Verification

Bungee maintains a primary data source for token information and categorizes tokens in two ways:
  • Verified Tokens: These are recognized by Bungee and are considered verified.
  • Unverified Tokens: These are tokens added to our own database that may not be widely listed yet. When these are displayed, we recommend showing a warning to users to exercise caution.

How the Endpoints and Parameters Work

  • /tokens/list (Default):
    • Returns a curated list of trending tokens, all of which are “verified” (recognized by Bungee).
    • “Trending” is currently determined by trading volume, showing the tokens with the highest volume on each supported network.
    • This list is dynamic, and the trending algorithm may evolve to include other factors for relevance.
  • /tokens/list (with list=full parameter):
    • Returns the full, unabridged list of all tokens known to Bungee (including both verified and unverified tokens).
    • Warning: This is a very heavy and slow API call. We strongly recommend not using it in a production frontend application.
  • /tokens/search:
    • Designed to find a specific token by its name, symbol, or address (e.g., “USDC”).
    • Searches across the entire dataset, including both verified and unverified tokens.

Best Practices

  • For the best user experience, we recommend:
    • Using the default /tokens/list to display a relevant, curated list of trending tokens.
    • Maintaining your own list of tokens that are most relevant to your users.
  • Most tokens with sufficient liquidity should return a valid route through Bungee, regardless of which list they appear on.

Token list endpoint example usage

The /tokens/list endpoint retrieves a list of available tokens, with optional parameters to customize the response.
const BUNGEE_API_BASE_URL = "https://public-backend.bungee.exchange";

async function getTokenList(userAddress, chainIds = [1], isTrending = true) {
  const url = `${BUNGEE_API_BASE_URL}/api/v1/tokens/list`;
  const params = {
    userAddress,
    chainIds: chainIds.join(","),
    list: isTrending ? "trending" : "full",
  };

  const queryParams = new URLSearchParams(params);
  const response = await fetch(`${url}?${queryParams}`);
  const data = await response.json();

  return data;
}

Token search endpoint example usage

The /tokens/search endpoint allows you to search for tokens by address, name, or symbol. Use this endpoint to verify if a specific token can be traded, even if it doesn’t appear in the token list.
async function searchToken(query, userAddress) {
  const url = `${BUNGEE_API_BASE_URL}/api/v1/tokens/search`;
  const params = {
    q: query,
    userAddress,
  };

  const queryParams = new URLSearchParams(params);
  const response = await fetch(`${url}?${queryParams}`);
  const data = await response.json();

  return data;
}
