## 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.

## 📊 Etherscan Gas Tracker Scraper

> 🚀 **Export Etherscan gas tracker data in seconds. Structured records direct from the public api.etherscan.io endpoint to CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML.**

The Etherscan Gas Tracker Scraper turns the [api.etherscan.io](https://api.etherscan.io) public REST endpoint into a clean, structured dataset. It calls the endpoint with the parameters you supply, parses the JSON, and flattens each record into one row.

Dataset coverage depends on the upstream source. All field names are clean snake\_case / camelCase, numeric strings are auto-cast to numbers, and upstream rate-limit notes are surfaced as a clean `error` record instead of crashing your pipeline.

| 🎯 Target Audience | 💡 Primary Use Cases |
|---|---|
| 📊 Analysts | Pull structured records for analysis |
| 🏢 Finance teams | Snapshot data for dashboards and reports |
| 🤖 ML engineers | Build training sets from public sources |
| 📰 Journalists | Verify numbers for stories with one click |
| 👩‍💻 Developers | Mirror upstream data into your own DB without writing client code |
| 🎓 Researchers | Run reproducible studies on public data |

### 📋 What the Etherscan Gas Tracker Scraper does

- Calls the public `api.etherscan.io` endpoint.
- Parses the JSON response and flattens each record into a clean row.
- Casts numeric fields to numbers so they import cleanly into Excel and BI tools.
- Surfaces upstream rate-limit or error notes as a single-row `error` record instead of crashing.
- Exports as CSV, Excel, JSON, JSONL, XML, RSS, or HTML.

> 💡 **Why it matters:** The raw Etherscan gas tracker JSON is verbose and hard to consume in spreadsheets. This actor normalizes the payload into one row per record so the data drops straight into pandas, BigQuery, or a Google Sheet.

### 📊 Data fields

Each record includes: `fastGasPrice`, `gasUsedRatio`, `lastBlock`, `proposeGasPrice`, `results`, `safeGasPrice`, `scrapedAt`, `suggestBaseFee`. These field names come straight from the actor's dataset schema, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.

> ⚠️ **Good to Know:** The Etherscan gas tracker API is rate-limited. This actor surfaces rate-limit notes as a clean `error` record so your downstream pipeline can decide how to retry.

2. Adjust input fields (or leave defaults).
3. Click **Start**. Within seconds, your dataset is ready — download as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML, or pipe to your warehouse.
