CoinGecko Crypto Price & Market Data Scraper

Scrape real-time crypto prices and market data from CoinGecko to power portfolio trackers, price alerts, and AI trading agents. Feed it a list of coin IDs and get back current prices, market caps, 24h volume, price changes, and circulating supply — all from the public CoinGecko API in a single request. Schedule it on Apify for continuous market monitoring without managing API keys.

Features

• Bulk coin lookup — fetch market data for hundreds of cryptocurrencies in a single run
• Real-time pricing — returns current price, 24h change percentage, and last-updated timestamp
• Market fundamentals — includes market cap, trading volume, and circulating supply
• Multi-currency support — price against any fiat currency (USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, etc.)
• No API key required — queries the free CoinGecko API endpoint directly
• Batch optimization — processes up to 250 coins per API call for maximum efficiency
• Pay-per-result pricing — only pay for coins returned, with charge-limit safety built in

Notes

• CoinGecko's free API has a rate limit (approximately 10-30 calls/minute). For large coin lists, the actor batches requests to stay within limits.
• Coin IDs must match CoinGecko's identifier format (e.g. bitcoin, not BTC). Check the CoinGecko website for the correct ID.
