How much does it cost to scrape CryptoPanic news?

This actor uses pay-per-event pricing.

There is a small start fee and then a per-result item charge.

The initial BRONZE target is around one tenth of a cent per saved news post, aligned with equivalent CryptoPanic actors on Apify.

Actual total cost depends on how many posts you request and whether you resolve source URLs.

Input options

maxItems controls how many unique CryptoPanic posts are saved.

includeLatestFeed starts with the public homepage/latest feed.

coinSlugs lists CryptoPanic /news/<slug>/ pages such as bitcoin, ethereum, ripple, solana, or cardano.

startUrls lets you provide exact CryptoPanic feed URLs and overrides the generated coin feeds.

resolveSourceUrls opens each post detail page to extract the original publisher URL and summary.

requestDelayMs adds a polite delay between detail-page requests.

Example input: monitor major coins

{
  "maxItems": 100,
  "includeLatestFeed": true,
  "coinSlugs": ["bitcoin", "ethereum", "ripple", "solana", "cardano"],
  "resolveSourceUrls": true,
  "requestDelayMs": 150
}

Example input: fastest feed-only scrape

{
  "maxItems": 100,
  "includeLatestFeed": true,
  "coinSlugs": ["bitcoin", "ethereum", "dogecoin", "chainlink"],
  "resolveSourceUrls": false
}

Example input: custom CryptoPanic URL

{
  "maxItems": 25,

  ],
  "resolveSourceUrls": true
}

Scheduling

Schedule the actor hourly for near-real-time monitoring.

Schedule it daily for newsletter source collection.

Use small runs for alerts and larger runs for research snapshots.

Limitations

CryptoPanic's public SSR markup exposes headlines, timestamps, source labels, tags, and detail-page publisher links.

Public vote counts are not always visible without authenticated web API calls, so sentiment vote fields are nullable.

Some coin pages may have fewer than 20 public SSR items.

If a source URL is not visible on the detail page, the actor still saves the CryptoPanic URL.

Troubleshooting

Why did I get fewer results than maxItems?

CryptoPanic public pages expose a finite number of SSR posts per feed.

Add more coin slugs or custom feed URLs to increase coverage.

Why are vote fields null?

The public page does not always expose community vote counts in static markup.

The actor does not invent sentiment numbers; it returns null when the data is not publicly visible.

Legality

This actor extracts publicly visible CryptoPanic pages and should be used responsibly.

Respect CryptoPanic's terms, avoid abusive run frequency, and do not scrape personal data.

Consult your legal team if your use case has regulatory requirements.

FAQ
