How this service works
Get perpetual trading leaderboard data showing the most profitable traders within a given date range. This endpoint provides trader performance metrics including total PnL, ROI, and account values. **What it helps to answer:** 1. **Who are the most profitable perpetual traders in a given timeframe?** 2. **What is the ROI of the top performing traders?** 3. **What are the account values of successful perpetual traders?** 4. **How do trader addresses and labels correlate with performance?** 5. **What is a top trader holding right now?** **Key Features:** - Trader address and label information - Total, realized and unrealized PnL in USD - ROI as a fractional ratio (0.15 means 15%) - Traded notional and fill count over the timeframe - The five largest open positions per trader - Account value tracking - Flexible filtering and sorting options **Label Tier Control (`premium_labels`):** When omitted or set to `false` (the default), the response contains free-tier labels and the request is billed at the standard credit cost for this endpoint. Passing `premium_labels=true` returns premium labels (Smart Money, Fund, and other advanced labels), is billed at **150 credits per call**, and requires a paid plan.
Output
A paginated list of trader records, each containing the trader's Ethereum wallet address, optional human-readable label (e.g. exchange name), total PnL in USD for the period, ROI as a percentage, and current account value in USD. Includes pagination metadata (current page, per-page count, is_last_page).

Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.nansen.ai/api/v1/perp-leaderboard?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to identify the best-performing perpetual traders on-chain over a specific time window, especially for smart money research, copy-trading analysis, or competitive benchmarking. Prefer this over individual trade lookups when you want aggregated leaderboard-style rankings rather than raw trade history.
Side effects
- Missing required 'date' field returns validation error
- Invalid date format (not YYYY-MM-DD) causes request failure
- Filters with inverted min/max (min > max) may return empty results
- Account value data may be null or 0 for traders outside the top 500K
- Requesting very large page sizes (>1000) will be rejected
- Overly restrictive filter combinations may yield zero results
