## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

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

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).

### What does Crypto Currency Converter do?

**Crypto Currency Converter** converts any cryptocurrency amount to another coin or fiat currency using real-time exchange rates. Pass a coin pair and amount — get back the converted value instantly. Supports thousands of crypto-to-crypto and crypto-to-fiat conversions.

This Actor runs on the [Apify platform](https://apify.com). Integrate live conversion rates into your applications, financial tools, or data pipelines without a paid crypto API subscription.

### Why use Crypto Currency Converter?

- **Real-time rates** — conversion based on current market prices
- **Crypto to crypto** — convert BTC to ETH, SOL to USDT, and any other pair
- **Crypto to fiat** — convert to USD, EUR, GBP, and 30+ other currencies
- **No API key** — no CoinGecko Pro or exchange API subscription required
- **Batch conversions** — run multiple conversions in one Actor call

### How to use Crypto Currency Converter

1. Open the Actor and click **Try for free**
2. Enter the source coin, target coin, and amount to convert
3. Click **Start** — conversion results are ready in seconds
4. Download as JSON or use the Apify API to integrate into your app

### Input

```json
{
  "conversions": [
    { "from": "bitcoin", "to": "usd", "amount": 1.5 },
    { "from": "ethereum", "to": "eur", "amount": 10 },
    { "from": "solana", "to": "bitcoin", "amount": 100 }
  ]
}
````

| Field | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| `conversions` | array | List of conversion requests | required |
| `conversions[].from` | string | Source coin (CoinGecko ID or symbol) | required |
| `conversions[].to` | string | Target coin or fiat currency code | required |
| `conversions[].amount` | number | Amount to convert | required |

### Output

Results are stored in the Apify dataset. Download in JSON, CSV, HTML, or Excel.

```json
{
  "from": "bitcoin",
  "to": "usd",
  "amount": 1.5,
  "result": 101148.23,
  "rate": 67432.15,
  "timestamp": "2024-03-20T12:00:00Z"
}
```

### Output fields

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `from` | string | Source coin |
| `to` | string | Target coin or fiat |
| `amount` | number | Input amount |
| `result` | number | Converted value |
| `rate` | number | Exchange rate used |
| `timestamp` | string | Timestamp of the rate used |

### Cost

Pay-per-result pricing:

| Volume | Estimated cost |
|---|---|
| 100 conversions | ~$0.01–$0.05 |
| 1,000 conversions | ~$0.10–$0.50 |

### Tips

- Use CoinGecko coin IDs (e.g., `bitcoin`, `ethereum`) for most reliable results
- For fiat currencies, use standard ISO codes: `usd`, `eur`, `gbp`, `jpy`, `cad`
- Schedule runs to log conversion rates over time and build a rate history dataset

### FAQ

**What currencies are supported?**
All cryptocurrencies tracked on CoinGecko plus 30+ major fiat currencies (USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, CAD, AUD, and more).

**How current are the exchange rates?**
Rates are updated every 1–5 minutes from CoinGecko's market data.
