## 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

## CoinMarketCap Scraper

Extract cryptocurrency listings from CoinMarketCap in a clean, structured dataset for research, monitoring, and market analysis.

### Features

- **Comprehensive listings** - Collect ranked cryptocurrency records with pricing, market cap, volume, supply, and performance fields.

- **Pagination control** - Limit requests with `max_pages` and control output size with `results_wanted`.
- **Clean dataset output** - Removes null and empty values before storing each item.
- **Deduplicated records** - Prevents duplicate coin entries in the final dataset.

### Use Cases

#### Market Monitoring

Track top assets and price movement snapshots on a schedule for ongoing market visibility.

### Tips For Best Results

#### Use Real Listing URLs

- Use CoinMarketCap listing URLs so sorting and pagination context stays consistent.
- Start with the default `all/views/all` page for complete coverage.

#### Keep QA-Friendly Defaults

- Keep `results_wanted` near `20` for quick validation runs.
- Increase `results_wanted` and `max_pages` for production collection.

#### Manage Throughput

- Use proxy settings if your network needs additional request stability.
- Scale gradually and monitor result counts in each run.

***

### Integrations

Connect output datasets with:

- **Google Sheets** - Create analysis sheets and reports.
- **Airtable** - Build searchable asset tables.
- **Make** - Automate downstream workflows.
- **Zapier** - Trigger alerts and notifications.
- **Webhooks** - Push records to custom services.

#### Export Formats

- **JSON** - Best for APIs and engineering workflows.
- **CSV** - Best for spreadsheet analysis.
- **Excel** - Best for business reporting.
- **XML** - Best for legacy integrations.

### Frequently Asked Questions

#### Can I run with only a keyword?

Yes. If no URL is provided, the scraper uses the default CoinMarketCap all-listings page.

#### Can I run with only a URL?

Yes. A URL alone is enough to run the scraper.

#### Will user input override defaults?

Yes. Values sent in the run input always take priority.

#### Why are some fields missing on some rows?

Not every asset includes every market field at every moment; empty fields are removed from output.

#### Can I collect more than one page?

Yes. Increase `max_pages` and `results_wanted`.
