CryptoCompare Scraper — Crypto Market Data, Exchanges & Trading Pairs

Scrape cryptocurrency market data from CryptoCompare.com — coin fundamentals, USD price, market cap, circulating/total/max supply, social stats, exchange listings and trading pairs for 1,600+ cryptocurrencies — for portfolio dashboards, trading bot routing, DeFi analytics and crypto market research. No API key required.

Main Use Cases

• Crypto market data — collect coin fundamentals, prices and supply data for dashboards
• Portfolio tracker building — feed comprehensive coin data into tracking tools
• Trading bot routing — map exchange listings and trading pairs across exchanges
• Crypto market research — analyze market cap, supply, and social stats for many coins
• DeFi analytics dashboards — aggregate price and exchange data across sources
• AI/ML research — build datasets of crypto fundamentals and price data

How It Works

Give the actor a list of coin symbols (e.g. BTC, ETH, SOL) or leave it empty for the top 20 coins. It reads CryptoCompare's embedded JSON data from each coin page (no API key, no browser) and returns one clean JSON object per coin with fundamentals, price, supply, social stats and exchange/pair counts.

Build Crypto Market Data Datasets Without a Paid CryptoCompare API

CryptoCompare's real-time WebSocket feed and full API are paid. This actor extracts the server-rendered public data — price, market cap, supply, algorithm, social stats, exchange and trading-pair counts — as clean JSON for trading, research and analytics at scale, with no official API subscription.

Input

Field	Type	Required	Default	Notes
coinSymbols	array of strings	No	Top 20 coins	Coin symbols to scrape, e.g. BTC, ETH, SOL
maxRequestsPerCrawl	integer	No	100	Max coin pages to scrape
useApifyProxy	boolean	No	true	Route requests through the Apify proxy

Output

Each dataset item is one coin:

Field	Type	Description
symbol	string	Coin ticker, e.g. BTC

socialStats	object	Reddit subscribers, Twitter followers, page views
exchangesCount / tradingPairsCount	number	Exchanges and pairs
scrapedAt	string	Timestamp

FAQ

Why use this actor instead of the official CryptoCompare API?

The full CryptoCompare API and real-time WebSocket feed are paid. This actor extracts the public server-rendered data (price, market cap, supply, social stats, exchange/pair counts) from the website with no API key and no API subscription.

Does this require an API key?

No. It scrapes the public website and extracts embedded JSON data — no API key needed.

How fresh is the data?

Data is scraped in real-time from CryptoCompare; prices on the source update every few minutes.

Can I scrape all 1,600+ coins?

Yes. Set maxRequestsPerCrawl high and provide the symbols you want. Larger runs use more compute.

Why are some fields missing?

CryptoCompare streams some granular data via WebSocket. This actor captures the server-rendered data (most fundamentals). Real-time price feeds require their paid API.

For AI Agents & LLM Apps

Purpose: Return structured CryptoCompare market data for one or more coins — price USD, market cap, supply, fundamentals, social stats and exchange/pair counts.

Minimal working input:

{
  "coinSymbols": ["BTC", "ETH"],
  "maxRequestsPerCrawl": 5
}

Output fields: symbol, name, url, priceUsd, marketCap, circulatingSupply, totalSupply, maxSupply, startDate, algorithm, proofType, socialStats, exchangesCount, tradingPairsCount, scrapedAt.

Behaviors an agent should know:

• coinSymbols is the primary input; leave it empty to default to the top 20 coins.
• maxRequestsPerCrawl caps the number of coin pages (max 500).

Billing: Compute-based — free tier up to ~10 coins per run; paid runs billed on Apify compute units (≈0.5–1 CU per 10 coins depending on proxy usage).
