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). # README ## CoinGecko Crypto Scraper Get cryptocurrency prices, market rankings, trending coins, and global market stats from the CoinGecko API. No API key required. ### What data does it extract? #### Markets / Coin Detail mode | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `id` | CoinGecko identifier (e.g. `bitcoin`) | | `symbol` | Ticker symbol (e.g. `btc`) | | `name` | Full coin name | | `currentPrice` | Current price in your chosen currency | | `marketCap` | Market capitalization | | `marketCapRank` | Rank by market cap | | `volume24h` | 24-hour trading volume | | `priceChange24h` | Absolute 24h price change | | `priceChangePercent24h` | Percentage 24h price change | | `high24h` | 24-hour high price | | `low24h` | 24-hour low price | | `ath` | All-time high price | | `athDate` | Date of all-time high | | `circulatingSupply` | Coins currently in circulation | | `totalSupply` | Total supply | | `image` | Coin logo URL | #### Trending mode | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `id` | CoinGecko identifier | | `symbol` | Ticker symbol | | `name` | Coin name | | `marketCapRank` | Market cap rank | | `priceBtc` | Price in BTC | | `priceUsd` | Price in USD | | `score` | Trending score | | `thumb` | Thumbnail image URL | | `marketCap` | Market capitalization | | `totalVolume` | Trading volume | #### Global mode | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `activeCryptocurrencies` | Number of active cryptocurrencies | | `markets` | Number of active markets | | `totalMarketCapUsd` | Total market cap in USD | | `totalVolumeUsd` | Total 24h volume in USD | | `btcDominance` | Bitcoin dominance percentage | | `ethDominance` | Ethereum dominance percentage | | `marketCapChangePercent24hUsd` | 24h market cap change % | | `marketCapPercentage` | Market cap share per coin | | `updatedAt` | Last update timestamp | ### 🎯 Use cases - **Portfolio dashboards** -- Pull live prices for your holdings into Google Sheets or a database. - **Market screening** -- Rank the top 500 coins by market cap and filter by price change. - **Trend spotting** -- Check which coins are trending on CoinGecko right now. - **DeFi research** -- Filter by category (e.g. `decentralized-finance-defi`) to analyze specific sectors. - **Market snapshots** -- Get a daily global overview of total crypto market cap and BTC dominance. ### 🚀 How to use **Get the top 50 coins by market cap:** ```json { "mode": "markets", "vsCurrency": "usd", "maxResults": 50 } ```` **See what's trending right now:** ```json { "mode": "trending" } ``` **Get details for specific coins in EUR:** ```json { "mode": "coin_detail", "coinIds": ["bitcoin", "ethereum", "solana"], "vsCurrency": "eur" } ``` ### 📥 Input | Parameter | Type | Default | Description | |-----------|------|---------|-------------| | `mode` | enum | `"markets"` | `markets`, `trending`, `global`, or `coin_detail` | | `vsCurrency` | string | `"usd"` | Quote currency (e.g. `usd`, `eur`, `btc`) | | `maxResults` | integer | `100` | Max coins to return in markets mode (1-500) | | `coinIds` | string\[] | `[]` | CoinGecko IDs for coin\_detail mode | | `category` | string | `""` | Category filter for markets mode (e.g. `layer-1`, `meme-token`) | ### 📋 Output example ```json { "id": "bitcoin", "symbol": "btc", "name": "Bitcoin", "currentPrice": 67432.00, "marketCap": 1328456789012, "marketCapRank": 1, "volume24h": 28945678901, "priceChange24h": 1234.56, "priceChangePercent24h": 1.87, "high24h": 68100.00, "low24h": 66200.00, "ath": 73750.00, "athDate": "2025-11-14T09:15:00.000Z", "circulatingSupply": 19623450, "totalSupply": 21000000, "image": "https://assets.coingecko.com/coins/images/1/large/bitcoin.png" } ``` ### ⚡ Performance - Markets mode fetches up to 250 coins per API call, so 500 coins takes just 2 requests. - A 2.5-second delay is applied between pages to respect CoinGecko's free tier rate limits (10-30 req/min). - A typical run for 100 coins completes in under 10 seconds and costs less than $0.01 on Apify. ### ❓ FAQ **Do I need a CoinGecko API key?** No. The actor uses the free public API. Rate limits are 10-30 requests per minute, and the actor handles retries with exponential backoff on 429 responses. **What coin IDs should I use in coin\_detail mode?** CoinGecko IDs are lowercase slugs like `bitcoin`, `ethereum`, `solana`. You can find them on any CoinGecko coin page in the URL, or use markets mode first to discover IDs. **Can I get prices in EUR or BTC?** Yes. Set `vsCurrency` to any currency CoinGecko supports: `usd`, `eur`, `gbp`, `jpy`, `btc`, `eth`, and many more. **How current is the data?** CoinGecko updates prices every 1-2 minutes on the free tier. The data you get is near real-time. # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): Choose what data to fetch: market listings, trending coins, global market stats, or details for specific coins. ## `vsCurrency` (type: `string`): The fiat or crypto currency to quote prices in (e.g. usd, eur, btc). ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of results to return (markets mode).
