## 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

## CoinGecko Scraper — Crypto Market Data

**Full crypto market data from CoinGecko in one keyless actor** — price, market-cap rank, volume, 24h/7d/30d change, all-time high/low, circulating/total/max supply, and optional daily price history. For the top coins, specific coin ids, or a whole category. Priced in any fiat or crypto currency.

For portfolio trackers, dashboards, trading bots, research and crypto apps.

### What you get

Per coin:

- **Identity** — `id`, `symbol`, `name`, `image`, CoinGecko `url`
- **Market** — `rank`, `price`, `marketCap`, `fullyDilutedValuation`, `totalVolume`
- **Movement** — `high24h`, `low24h`, `priceChange24h`, `priceChangePct24h`, `priceChangePct7d`, `priceChangePct30d`
- **Supply** — `circulatingSupply`, `totalSupply`, `maxSupply`
- **Extremes** — `ath`, `athChangePct`, `athDate`, `atl`, `atlDate`, `lastUpdated`
- **History (optional)** — nested `history[]` of `{ date, price, totalVolume, marketCap }` daily points

### Output sample

```json
{
  "id": "bitcoin",
  "symbol": "btc",
  "name": "Bitcoin",

`history` is present only when `includeHistory` is on.

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `vsCurrency` | string | `usd` | Quote currency, e.g. `usd`, `eur`, `btc` |
| `coinIds` | array | — | Specific coin ids (e.g. `bitcoin`); empty = top coins by order |
| `category` | string | — | CoinGecko category id, e.g. `layer-1`, `meme-token` |
| `order` | string | `market_cap_desc` | `market_cap_desc/asc`, `volume_desc/asc`, `id_asc` |
| `includeHistory` | boolean | `false` | Also fetch each coin's daily price history |
| `historyDays` | integer | `30` | Days of history when enabled (e.g. 7, 30, 90, 365) |
| `maxResults` | integer | `100` | Cap on coins returned |

### Example input

```json
{
  "vsCurrency": "usd",
  "coinIds": ["bitcoin", "ethereum", "solana"],
  "includeHistory": true,
  "historyDays": 90
}
```

### Why this actor

- **More than a screener** — market-cap rankings, supply figures, ATH/ATL *and* per-coin price history in one actor.
- **Flexible targeting** — top-N, specific coins, or a category; any fiat/crypto quote currency.
- **Reliable** — handles CoinGecko's free-tier rate limits with throttling and 429 backoff.

### Pricing

Pay per result — **$2.00 per 1,000 results** (one result = one coin, with history nested). No subscription; you pay only for what you get.

### Notes & limits

- Uses CoinGecko's free public API, which is rate-limited; enabling `includeHistory` adds one throttled request per coin (slower).
- Market data reflects CoinGecko at fetch time and changes constantly. Not financial advice; not affiliated with CoinGecko.
