Use Cases

• Free-Text Search: Search across Dune’s entire dataset catalog using natural language queries like "dex trades" or "ethereum transactions".
• Filter by Category: Narrow results to specific categories such as canonical, decoded, spell, or community datasets.
• Filter by Blockchain: Find datasets for specific blockchains by passing blockchain names in the blockchains parameter.
• AI Agents: Enable AI agents to discover relevant tables and schemas before constructing SQL queries.
• Build Search UIs: Power custom dataset search interfaces and data discovery tools on top of Dune’s catalog.
