## 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 Scraper 🪙

Export **live cryptocurrency market data** — prices, market caps, volumes, and 1h/24h/7d price
changes — via the free CoinGecko API. Scan the entire market, a category, or a specific list of
coins. **No API key required.**

### What you can use it for

- **Trading dashboards & alerts** — feed live prices and momentum into your own tools.
- **Portfolio tracking** — pull specific coins on a schedule.
- **Market research** — rank coins by market cap, volume, or category.
- **Data pipelines** — clean structured crypto data on demand.

### Input

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `vsCurrency` | Currency to price against (usd, eur, btc, …). |
| `order` | Sort by market cap or volume. |
| `coinIds` | Optional list of specific coins (bitcoin, ethereum, …). |
| `category` | Optional CoinGecko category filter. |
| `maxItems` | Max coins to return (up to 250). |

### Output

One item per coin: `name`, `symbol`, `price`, `marketCap`, `marketCapRank`, `volume24h`,
`change1h/24h/7d`, `high24h`, `low24h`, `circulatingSupply`, `ath`, and a timestamp.

### Pricing

Pay-per-event: a small charge per run plus per coin returned.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "coinIds": [],
    "category": ""
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("navy_currant/crypto-market-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

    "category": "",
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("navy_currant/crypto-market-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print("💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/" + run["defaultDatasetId"])
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
