## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Crypto Market Data Scraper — Prices, Market Caps, Rankings

**Crypto Market Data Scraper — Prices, Market Caps, Rankings** — a fast, reliable coingecko scraper that needs **no API key**. Scrape live crypto market data — price, market cap, volume, rankings, ATH/ATL, supply. You pay only for the results you get: failed or empty runs are always free.

This coingecko scraper runs on the [Apify platform](https://apify.com), so you can call it from the API, run it on a schedule, or export results to JSON, CSV, Excel, or Google Sheets.

### What this scraper does

- Extracts structured **coingecko** data with no browser or API key required
- Returns clean JSON, one record per result — ready for sheets, databases, or apps
- Pay-per-result pricing: you are never charged for a run that returns nothing
- Runs on demand or on a schedule, and integrates with 5,000+ apps via the Apify API and webhooks

### What data you get

Each result record includes fields such as:

- **Id** (`id`) — e.g. `"bitcoin"`
- **Symbol** (`symbol`) — e.g. `"BTC"`
- **Name** (`name`) — e.g. `"Bitcoin"`
- **Rank** (`rank`) — e.g. `1`
- **Price Usd** (`priceUsd`) — e.g. `63845`
- **Market Cap Usd** (`marketCapUsd`) — e.g. `1280093063588`
- **Fully Diluted Valuation Usd** (`fullyDilutedValuationUsd`) — e.g. `1280093063588`
- **Volume24h Usd** (`volume24hUsd`) — e.g. `28957077901`
- **High24h** (`high24h`) — e.g. `64105`
- **Low24h** (`low24h`) — e.g. `62506`
- **Price Change24h** (`priceChange24h`) — e.g. `1104.03`
- **Price Change Pct24h** (`priceChangePct24h`) — e.g. `1.75966`
- **Price Change Pct7d** (`priceChangePct7d`) — e.g. `3.996886563365824`
- **Market Cap Change Pct24h** (`marketCapChangePct24h`) — e.g. `1.75668`
- **Circulating Supply** (`circulatingSupply`) — e.g. `20054340`

### Run it as a monitor (alerts on new coingecko)

Schedule this coingecko scraper to run automatically — hourly, daily, or on any cron schedule — with the built-in [Apify Scheduler](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules), and have results pushed to you by **webhook, email, Slack, or your own app** the moment they're ready. It's the easiest way to **monitor coingecko for changes over time** and get alerted the instant something new appears — no manual runs. Because pricing is per result, a scheduled monitor only ever charges you for the data each run actually returns.

### Pricing

This actor uses **pay-per-result** pricing at **$0.0005 per record**. There is no monthly fee and no start fee — and **empty or failed runs cost $0**, so you only ever pay for data you actually receive.

### Frequently asked questions

**Do I need an API key or account for the source?** No. This coingecko scraper works out of the box with no API key required.

**What happens if a run returns no results?** You are not charged. Billing is per result, so empty or failed runs are free.

**Can I run the coingecko scraper on a schedule?** Yes. Use the Apify Scheduler to run it hourly, daily, or on any cron schedule, and get results by webhook or API.

**What export formats are supported?** Results can be exported as JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, or pushed to Google Sheets, a database, or your own app via the Apify API.

**Is the data structured?** Yes. Every coingecko result is a clean, flat JSON record you can use immediately.

# Actor input Schema

## `coinIds` (type: `array`):

Specific coin IDs for detailed data (e.g. bitcoin, ethereum, solana). Leave empty to pull the top market-cap list.

## `maxCoins` (type: `integer`):

How many coins to pull from the top market-cap ranking (when no coin IDs given).

## `currency` (type: `string`):

Quote currency (usd, eur, gbp, ...).

## `minMarketCapUsd` (type: `integer`):

Skip coins below this market cap. Leave empty for no filter.

## `maxCostUsd` (type: `integer`):

HARD budget cap. The run stops cleanly with partial data before exceeding this.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

The CoinGecko API is open; no proxy is needed. Default is fine.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "coinIds": [],
  "maxCoins": 100,
  "currency": "usd",
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}
```
