## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

### What does CoinGlass Footprint History do?

CoinGlass Footprint History helps you search supported futures instruments and fetch historical footprint chart data for a selected instrument, interval, and optional time range. Use `search_symbols` to find the correct `symbol` value, then send that value to `footprint_history` to get clean JSON output with buy and sell volume at each price level.

### Why use CoinGlass Footprint History?

Use this Actor when you need futures footprint history data for dashboards, market analysis, order-flow research, alerts, or automated workflows.

- Search futures instruments by keyword
- Fetch footprint history by instrument, interval, and optional timestamps
- Get price-level buy and sell volume data
- Use separate pay-per-event pricing for symbol searches and footprint history data
- Export results as JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, or RSS

### How to use CoinGlass Footprint History

1. Open the Actor on Apify.
2. Select `search_symbols` to find an instrument, or `footprint_history` to fetch footprint chart history.
3. Fill the matching input fields.
4. Click **Start**.
5. Read the output from the default dataset.

### Input

| Field | Required | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `mode` | Yes | `footprint_history` | Operation to run. Supported values: `search_symbols`, `footprint_history`. |
| `keyword` | No | empty | Optional search keyword used with `search_symbols`. Leave it empty to return the default futures symbol list. |
| `symbol` | Required for `footprint_history` | `Binance_BTCUSDT` | Symbol value returned by `search_symbols`, such as `Binance_BTCUSDT`. |
| `interval` | Required for `footprint_history` | `30m` | Time interval for data aggregation. Supported values: `1m`, `3m`, `5m`, `15m`, `30m`, `1h`, `2h`, `4h`, `6h`, `8h`, `12h`, `1d`, `1w`. |
| `startTime` | No | empty | Optional start timestamp in seconds. |
| `endTime` | No | empty | Optional end timestamp in seconds. |

### Search symbols input example

```json
{
    "mode": "search_symbols",
    "keyword": "btc"
}
````

`keyword` is optional. You can also leave it empty when using `search_symbols`.

### Search symbols output example

```json
{
    "success": true,
    "message": "Futures symbols fetched successfully.",
    "mode": "search_symbols",
    "data": [
        {
            "base_asset": "BTC",
            "quote_asset": "USDT",
            "exchange": "Binance",
            "symbol": "Binance_BTCUSDT"
        }
    ]
}
```

Use the `symbol` value from the `search_symbols` response as the `symbol` input for `footprint_history`.

### Footprint history input example

```json
{
    "mode": "footprint_history",
    "symbol": "Binance_BTCUSDT",
    "interval": "30m",
    "startTime": "1781244000",
    "endTime": "1781727922"
}
```

`startTime` and `endTime` are optional. If you leave them empty, the Actor fetches the default available footprint history for the selected symbol and interval.

### Footprint history output example

The example below includes comments to explain each timestamp and price-level array value.

```json
{
    "success": true,
    "message": "Footprint history data fetched successfully.",
    "mode": "footprint_history",
    "data": [
        [
            1757808000, // Timestamp (seconds)
            [
                [
                    115765,       // Price start
                    115770,       // Price end
                    3.223,        // Taker buy volume
                    9.906,        // Taker sell volume
                    373118.1958,  // Taker buy volume (quote currency)
                    1146773.5391, // Taker sell volume (quote currency)
                    373118.1958,  // Taker buy volume (USDT)
                    1146773.5391, // Taker sell volume (USDT)
                    193,          // Taker buy trade count
                    153           // Taker sell trade count
                ],
                [
                    115770,      // Price start
                    115775,      // Price end
                    3.315,       // Taker buy volume
                    0.528,       // Taker sell volume
                    383782.5569, // Taker buy volume (quote currency)
                    61127.0686,  // Taker sell volume (quote currency)
                    383782.5569, // Taker buy volume (USDT)
                    61127.0686,  // Taker sell volume (USDT)
                    40,          // Taker buy trade count
                    64           // Taker sell trade count
                ]
            ]
        ]
    ]
}
```

### Pay-per-event pricing

This Actor uses separate charge events for each operation:

| Event name | Used for |
| --- | --- |
| `SEARCH_SYMBOLS` | Searching futures instruments. |
| `FOOTPRINT_HISTORY` | Fetching footprint history data. |

### Tips

- Run `search_symbols` first if you do not know the exact `symbol`.
- Use the returned `symbol` as the `symbol` input for `footprint_history`.
- Leave `startTime` and `endTime` empty when you want the default available history.
