Crypto traders often want to detect new token listings and exchange launches early. The DropsTab API makes this easy by exposing a cryptoActivities endpoint that lists recent crypto events (e.g. “TokenX listed on ExchangeY”). In this guide, we’ll use the DropsTab API to fetch and filter these events step-by-step.
Step 1: Obtain Your API Key
Sign up for DropsTab and grab your API key. All calls to the DropsTab API are simple HTTP GET requests with the key in an Authorization header.
Step 2: Fetch Crypto Activities
Use the /cryptoActivities endpoint to get recent events. For example:
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" \
"https://public-api.dropstab.com/api/v1/cryptoActivities"
This returns a JSON list of recent crypto events. Each entry includes an activity description. For example, it might include messages like “TokenX listed on ExchangeY”. You can also filter by status or sort by date if needed (the API supports filtering and pagination).
Step 3: Filter for New Listings
In the JSON response, find events that indicate a new listing. For instance, in Python you could do:
activities = response.json()["cryptoActivities"]
listings = [evt for evt in activities
if "listed on Exchange" in evt.get("activity", "")]
This picks out entries containing “listed on Exchange”. The DropsTab API’s data structure makes it easy to scan the event text for keywords like listed, because the endpoint explicitly returns listing events.
Step 4: Use the Data (Dashboard or Alerts)
With the filtered listings, you can feed new tokens into your app. For example, add them to a dashboard or trigger alerts when a token you follow is listed. The blog notes that developers can build trading bots or alerts from this data (e.g. “use /cryptoActivities to spot news (e.g. token listing events)”). A simple approach is to check the filtered events and send yourself a Slack/Telegram message whenever a new listing appears.
By following these steps, you integrate DropsTab’s unified market feed into your workflow. The API hides all the data-gathering complexity: just call /cryptoActivities with your key and parse the results. This means you can spend less time collecting data and more time analyzing new token launches.
