Pay-Per-Event Pricing

This Actor is configured for PPE with transparent billing:

• apify-actor-start: synthetic start event, $0.00005
• market-pair-result: one charge per delivered market pair result (success or error item), $0.01

PPE optimization:

• The Actor applies charging only for successful result delivery.
• It checks available budget for market-pair-result and caps processing to avoid unpaid overproduction.
• It stops gracefully when the user-defined max total charge is reached.

Best Use Cases

• Crypto trading dashboards and portfolio apps
• Quant research and backtesting pipelines
• Price alerting and spread monitoring
• LLM agents that need reliable Coinbase market data context
• ETL jobs feeding warehouses, BI tools, or timeseries stores
