## Pricing

Pay per usage

This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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 Multi-Timeframe Momentum Scanner

> Scan **1000 cryptocurrencies** across **9 timeframes** (1m to 1 year) with composite momentum scoring and trend confluence detection. Find coins gaining consistently across multiple timeframes, or catch early reversals. No API key. **$0.001/coin** (50 coins = $0.05/run).

***

### The Problem It Solves

A coin up 50% in 24h sounds exciting — but is it already topping, or just starting? A coin down 5% today but up 30% in the past week might be pulling back for the next leg. Single-timeframe analysis misses this.

This actor gives you **all 9 timeframes at once** with a composite momentum score that weights recent price action while keeping longer-term context.

### How the Momentum Score Works

Each coin gets a weighted composite score:

| Timeframe | Default Weight |
|-----------|---------------|
| 1h | 10% |
| 4h | 20% |
| 24h | 35% |
| 7d | 25% |
| 30d | 10% |

Customize weights in the input to match your trading style (e.g., increase 4h weight for swing trading, increase 7d for trend following).

### Trend Labels

| Label | Score Range |
|-------|------------|
| `strong_uptrend` | +15 and above |
| `uptrend` | +5 to +15 |
| `neutral` | -5 to +5 |
| `downtrend` | -5 to -15 |
| `strong_downtrend` | -15 and below |
