# Clanker API

> Track Clanker token launches in real-time with the Codex API. Get launch data, trading activity, and live WebSocket updates.

AI-powered token launcher on Base that creates tokens through social interactions. Codex tracks all Clanker token launches and trading activity from the moment of creation.

<Tip>
  Filter queries to Clanker tokens using `launchpadName: "Clanker"` in [`filterTokens`](/api-reference/queries/filtertokens) or `protocol: Clanker` in subscriptions.
</Tip>

<Tip>
  Clanker V4 also exists as a separate protocol. Use `launchpadName: "Clanker V4"` or `protocol: ClankerV4` to query V4 tokens specifically.
</Tip>

## Token Lifecycle

Clanker tokens are created as standard DEX pairs without bonding curve mechanics. Tokens are tradeable immediately upon launch.

<Note>
  Clanker does not use bonding curves. Fields like `graduationPercent`, `completed`, and `migrated` will not be populated for these tokens.
</Note>
