## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Crypto Token Monitor — DEX Screener Data

Track crypto tokens across **Solana, Base, Ethereum, BSC, Arbitrum and 90+ chains** — new launches the moment they get a DexScreener profile, tokens paying for promotion, liquidity/volume spikes, and your own watchlist. Powered by the official DexScreener API — **no API key, no account, no wallet needed.**

### Why this actor?

Most DEX scrapers dump a token snapshot. This one is built for **trading workflows**:

- **New launches as they happen** — the `new` feed catches tokens minutes after listing, with pair age in hours
- **Promotion signals** — the `boosts` feed shows which tokens are spending on DexScreener ads right now (real money = real intent)
- **Watchlists** — point `watch` at your address list on a schedule; each run emits current price/volume/liquidity for diffing and alerts
- **Rug-filter inputs** — minimum liquidity, minimum 24h volume, max pair age, require-socials — skip dust-tier deploys automatically
- **Full market data per row** — price, volume (m5→h24), buys/sells, liquidity, FDV, market cap, social links — not just a name and address

### Modes

| Mode | What it returns | Use for |
|---|---|---|
| `new` | Latest token profiles + live pair data + age | Sniping new launches, launch alerts |
| `boosts` | Latest & top boosted tokens, sorted by spend | Finding tokens with active marketing budgets |
| `search` | Token lookup by name/symbol/address across all chains | Research, due diligence |
| `watch` | Current metrics for your address list | Scheduled portfolio/competitor monitoring |

### Input examples

**Newest Solana launches with real liquidity:**

```json
{ "mode": "new", "chains": ["solana"], "minLiquidityUsd": 5000, "requireSocials": true }
```

**Tokens spending on promotion (all chains):**

```json
{ "mode": "boosts", "maxResults": 50 }
```

**Find every "pepe" market:**

```json
{ "mode": "search", "query": "pepe", "minLiquidityUsd": 10000 }
```

**Scheduled watchlist** (run hourly — only ~1 credit per 30 tokens):

```json
{ "mode": "watch", "tokenAddresses": ["solana:So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112", "base:0x..."] }
```

### Output fields

`recordType`, `chain`, `dex`, `tokenAddress`, `name`, `symbol`, `priceUsd`, `pairAddress`, `pair`, `pairCreatedAt`, `ageHours`, `priceChangeM5/H1/H6/H24`, `volumeH1/H6/H24`, `buysH1/H24`, `sellsH1/H24`, `liquidityUsd`, `fdv`, `marketCap`, `iconUrl`, `website`, `twitter`, `telegram`, `hasSocials`, `url` — plus `boostAmount`/`totalBoostAmount`/`boostSource` on boosted rows and `watchedAddress` on watch rows.

### Monitoring workflow

1. Schedule `new` runs every 15–60 min with your filters → catch launches
2. Feed interesting `tokenAddress`es into a `watch` schedule → track them
3. `boosts` tells you who's actively marketing — a leading indicator of volume

### Limits & caveats

- Data is what DexScreener indexes — brand-new tokens may have a profile but no tradeable pair yet (emitted with market fields empty).
- `new`/`boosts` feeds return the latest ~30 items each — schedule frequent runs to avoid gaps; we dedupe within each run.
- Chains: use DexScreener chain IDs (`solana`, `base`, `ethereum`, `bsc`, `arbitrum`, `polygon`, `avalanche`, `ton`, `sui`, `pulse`, `robinhood`…).

### Pricing

**$1.00 per 1,000 results** (pay-per-event). A watchlist of 30 tokens costs ~$0.03/run — monitoring a whole portfolio is nearly free.

# Actor input Schema

## `mode` (type: `string`):

new = latest token profiles (new launches). boosts = tokens paying for promotion (latest + leaderboard). search = find tokens/pairs by keyword. watch = current metrics for your token address watchlist.

## `query` (type: `string`):

search mode: token name, symbol, or address — e.g. 'SOL', 'pepe'.

## `chains` (type: `array`):

Filter to chain IDs: solana, base, ethereum, bsc, arbitrum, polygon, avalanche, ton, sui… Empty = all chains.

## `tokenAddresses` (type: `array`):

watch mode: addresses to track. Format 'chain:address' (e.g. 'solana:So11...12') or bare 'address' (chain auto-detected).

## `minLiquidityUsd` (type: `number`):

Filter out pairs below this liquidity — kills dust/rug-tier tokens.

## `minVolumeH24` (type: `number`):

Only tokens with real trading activity.

## `maxAgeHours` (type: `number`):

Only pairs created within this window — true 'new launch' filtering.

## `requireSocials` (type: `boolean`):

Only tokens with a website/twitter/telegram link — filters low-effort deploys.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Global cap on rows returned.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Optional Apify proxy — the DexScreener API rarely needs it.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "mode": "new",
  "requireSocials": false,
  "maxResults": 100
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `results` (type: `string`):

Dataset containing token/pair records

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call brick_joey_yto/crypto-token-monitor --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,brick_joey_yto/crypto-token-monitor"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
