## Get Smart Money Netflow Data > Analyze net capital flows (inflows vs outflows) from smart traders and funds across different time periods. This endpoint helps identify which tokens are experiencing net accumulation or distribution by smart money.\ > \ > What are Net Flows?\ > Net flows represent the difference between smart money inflows and outflows for a token. This includes:\ > \ > \- DEX Trading Activity: Tokens bought vs sold on decentralized exchanges\ > \- CEX Transfers: Tokens sent to or received from centralized exchanges\ > \- Positive Net Flow: Smart money is accumulating (buying more than selling, or withdrawing from CEXs)\ > \- Negative Net Flow: Smart money is distributing (selling more than buying, or depositing to CEXs)\ > \ > Key Features:\ > \ > \- Aggregated net flow calculations across all smart money activity\ > \- Multiple time period analysis (1h, 24h, 7d, 30d)\ > \- Sortable results by volume metrics\ > \- Includes both DEX trades and CEX transfers ```json {"openapi":"3.1.0","info":{"title":"Nansen API","version":"1.0.0"},"servers":[{"url":"https://api.nansen.ai"}],"security":[{"ApiKeyAuth":[]}],"components":{"securitySchemes":{"ApiKeyAuth":{"type":"apiKey","in":"header","name":"apiKey","description":"API key for authentication"}},"schemas":{"SmartMoneyNetflowRequest":{"properties":{"chains":{"items":{"$ref":"#/components/schemas/SmartMoneyChain"},"type":"array","title":"Chains","description":"Chains to include in the analysis (only smart money supported chains).
