dune-client
A simple framework for interacting with Dune Analytics official API service.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries no known vulnerabilities, and is the official client for Dune's API. Install it if you need to query Dune Analytics from Python; the main prerequisite is a valid API key and an active Dune account.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires a valid DUNE_API_KEY environment variable to authenticate with the Dune Analytics API.
- Low friction install with six straightforward dependencies.
- The package is actively maintained with a release within the last 10 days and supports current Python versions (3.11–3.14).

- Performance characteristics when handling large result sets or complex parameterized queries.
What it is and what it does
dune-client is a Python wrapper around Dune Analytics' official REST API, designed to let you run SQL queries against blockchain data and retrieve results programmatically. It handles authentication, query parameterization (text, number, date, enum types), and result formatting—you can fetch results as JSON, CSV, or Pandas DataFrames. The package also supports advanced features like fetching cached results without re-running queries, and for paid subscribers, full CRUD operations to create, update, archive, and manage queries directly from Python.
The library is built on standard HTTP clients (aiohttp and requests) and JSON serialization tools, making it straightforward to integrate into data pipelines, analytics scripts, or automated reporting workflows. It requires Python 3.11 or later and is actively maintained by the Dune Analytics team.
Use it for
- Run parameterized SQL queries against Ethereum and other blockchain data without leaving Python.
- Fetch cached query results to avoid re-execution costs when data freshness allows.
- Build automated dashboards or reports that pull on-chain metrics into Pandas DataFrames.
- Programmatically manage a library of Dune queries (create, update, archive) as part of a data pipeline.
- Integrate blockchain data retrieval into Python applications that need real-time or periodic on-chain metrics.
