Harvest Finance

Harvest is a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform focused on yield farming and auto-compounding strategies. It allows users to maximize returns by automatically reinvesting earned rewards across a broad range of farming opportunities on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon, and other popular networks. The platform aggregates yield farming pools and vaults, simplifying the process of earning compound interest on crypto assets without manual intervention.

Designed primarily for DeFi developers, analytics teams, and financial institutions interested in yield optimization, Harvest provides an open API and developer documentation to facilitate integration and data access. Its API supports querying vaults, pools, staked amounts, and monthly profits, enabling developers to build custom dashboards or analytics tools. The platform requires a minimal setup involving Node.js, Yarn, and MongoDB for local caching, with environment variables for Infura keys to access Ethereum and Polygon networks.

Harvest differentiates itself by offering a comprehensive API originally designed for CoinMarketCap, supporting multiple chains and providing detailed farming data. This makes it a valuable tool for projects seeking to integrate yield farming data or automate farming strategies. Users can get started by cloning the GitHub repository, installing dependencies, configuring environment variables, and running the API server locally. Comprehensive API and developer documentation are available to guide integration and usage.
