## 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 Prices — Live Cryptocurrency Market Data (CoinGecko)

**Get live cryptocurrency prices and market data as clean JSON.** Ask for specific coins (like `bitcoin`, `ETH`, `Solana`) or the **top N by market cap**, and get back a tidy row per coin: price, market cap, rank, 24h volume, 1h/24h/7d price change, circulating/total/max supply, all-time high/low and more. Powered by CoinGecko — no API key, no anti-bot.

> AI-agent ready: this Actor is callable and payable by AI agents via [x402](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/x402) (USDC on Base), no Apify account required.

A fast, affordable crypto price API for dashboards, bots, research and alerts.

### Who uses this

- 📈 **Traders & analysts** — track prices, market caps and momentum across coins.
- 🤖 **Bots & dashboards** — feed live market data into your app on a schedule.
- 💼 **Portfolio & fintech tools** — value holdings and monitor movements.
- 📊 **Researchers** — build historical datasets by running on a schedule.
- 🧑‍💻 **Developers** — a clean crypto price endpoint by coin or top-N.

### What you get — one clean row per coin

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `name` + `symbol` + `id` | Coin identity |
| `price` + `vsCurrency` | Current price in your quote currency |
| `marketCap` + `marketCapRank` | Market cap & rank |
| `fullyDilutedValuation` | FDV |
| `circulatingSupply` + `totalSupply` + `maxSupply` | Supply metrics |
| `ath` + `athDate` / `atl` + `atlDate` | All-time high / low |
| `image` | Coin logo URL |
| `lastUpdated`, `scrapedAt` | Freshness & provenance |

### Example

**Input**

```json
{ "coins": ["bitcoin", "ethereum", "SOL"], "vsCurrency": "usd" }
```

*(or leave `coins` empty and set `topN` to fetch the top coins by market cap)*

**Output (one item)**

```json
{
  "id": "bitcoin", "symbol": "btc", "name": "Bitcoin",
  "price": 68250.42, "vsCurrency": "usd",
  "marketCap": 1348000000000, "marketCapRank": 1,
  "ath": 73738, "athDate": "2024-03-14T07:10:36.635Z",
  "circulatingSupply": 19750000, "maxSupply": 21000000
}
```

### Why this actor

- ✅ **Live data** — straight from CoinGecko on every run.
- 🎯 **Specific coins *or* top-N** — by id, symbol or name, or the top market caps.
- 💱 **Any quote currency** — USD, EUR, GBP, BTC and more.
- 📊 **Rich metrics** — market cap, rank, supply, ATH/ATL, FDV.
- ⚡ **Fast & affordable** — pay only per coin returned. No key, no anti-bot.

### Input options

- `coins` — specific coins by id, symbol or name (e.g. `bitcoin`, `ETH`, `Solana`). Leave empty for top-N.
- `topN` — when no coins given, how many top coins by market cap (default 100).
- `vsCurrency` — quote currency (default `usd`).

### FAQ

**Specific coins or the whole market?** Both — pass `coins`, or leave it empty and set `topN` for the top coins by market cap.

**Which currencies?** Any CoinGecko-supported quote currency — `usd`, `eur`, `gbp`, `btc`, etc.

**How do I refer to a coin?** By CoinGecko id (`bitcoin`), symbol (`btc`/`ETH`), or name (`Solana`) — all resolve.

**How fresh is the data?** Live from CoinGecko on every run.

**Can I export to CSV/Excel/Google Sheets?** Yes — the dataset exports to JSON, CSV, Excel and HTML, or pull it via the API.

**What does it cost?** Pay-per-coin — you're only charged for coins actually returned.

*Tip: schedule this hourly on your watchlist and store the results to build your own price-history dataset.*
