Overview

The vaults a strategy with these settings would target, ranked by the same pipeline that plans deposits, enriched with liquidity/capacity from the latest snapshot. capital and maxPositions drive the ranking; the remaining params filter.

Endpoint

GET https://earn-api.quicknode.dev/functions/v1/api/v1/vaults/rankings

Authorization

Include the published apikey header. This read request is public and does not require a SIWE signature.

Parameters

Parameter	Location	Type	Required	Description
capital	query	number	Yes	Capital to allocate, in USDC decimal dollars (> 0).
maxPositions	query	integer	Yes	Maximum number of vault positions (positive integer).
chains	query	string	No	CSV of chain ids. Defaults to all enabled chains.
minTvl	query	number	No	Minimum vault TVL in decimal US dollars. Defaults to 0.
minLiquidity	query	number	No	Minimum withdrawable liquidity in decimal US dollars. Defaults to 0.
minLiquidityMultiplier	query	number	No	Entry liquidity threshold multiplier: a vault must have this multiple of the intended position size in withdrawable liquidity to qualify. Defaults to 2. The deposit calldata path uses a looser default of 1.
apySmoothingMinutes	query	integer	No	APY smoothing window in minutes; snaps to the nearest precomputed column (5/10/30/60/120/240/360). Defaults to 30.
hiddenVaultKeys	query	string	No	CSV of `chainId:0xaddress` vault keys to exclude.
wallet	query	string	No	If present, merges this wallet's saved global hide list into the exclusions.
covered	query	string (true | false)	No	RANKED mode only. Coverage partition to rank within: `true` = OpenCover fee-wrappers only, `false` = plain vaults only. Omit for an unscoped ranking across both partitions. Any other value is a 400. Threaded into the ranking pipeline's `strategyCovered` (the covered/uncovered wizard toggle drives it).

Response

Field	Type	Required	Description
mode	string (ranked)	Yes	Identifies the response as a ranked vault allocation preview.
vaults	array<object>	Yes	Eligible vaults ordered by the ranking pipeline.
vaults[].chainId	integer	Yes	Numeric identifier of the chain where the vault is deployed.
vaults[].vaultAddress	string	Yes	Lowercase address of the ERC-4626 vault share token.
vaults[].name	string	Yes	Human-readable name of the vault.
vaults[].apy	number (decimal)	Yes	Ranking APY expressed as a percentage to three decimal places. For example, `15.294` represents 15.294% APY.
vaults[].tvlUsd	integer	Yes	Vault TVL in whole US dollars, rounded to the nearest dollar.
vaults[].availableLiquidityUsd	integer | null	Yes	Withdrawable liquidity in whole US dollars, or null when unknown.
vaults[].maxDepositUsd	integer | null	Yes	Deposit capacity in whole US dollars. Null means the vault is uncapped.
vaults[].atCapacity	boolean	Yes	True when the vault has no remaining deposit capacity.
excludedChains	array<object>	Yes	Chains excluded from the allocation and the reason for each exclusion.
excludedChains[].chainId	integer	Yes	Numeric identifier of the excluded chain.
excludedChains[].reason	string	Yes	Reason the chain did not produce an eligible vault.
eligibleCount	integer	Yes	Number of eligible vaults before the maxPositions cut.
estimatedApy	number (decimal) | null	Yes	Mean of the selected vaults' positive APYs, as a percentage; null when none.

HTTP responses

Status	Description
200	The ranked vault list.
400	Required parameters are missing, malformed, or outside their accepted range.
429	Rate limit exceeded. `Retry-After` (seconds) tells you when to retry. Reads, feedback, and push writes are keyed per IP; create/update/delete are keyed per wallet+IP; deposit/withdraw/claim calldata is keyed per strategy+IP.
500	Vault ranking data is temporarily unavailable.
503	Wallet hide-list lookup failed (only when `wallet` is supplied). Fails closed.
