## 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

## 🚀 CryptoCap: Web3 Funding & VC Deal Flow Scraper

**Turn crypto news into actionable B2B leads.** This Actor is a high-performance, lightweight scraper designed for Web3 sales teams, VC analysts, and startup founders who need structured data on the latest capital raises in the blockchain space.

It monitors the **"Top Three"** crypto news powerhouses—**The Block, CoinDesk, and Decrypt**—extracting clean, structured funding data directly into your CRM or spreadsheet.

***

### 🌟 Why use CryptoCap?

In the fast-moving crypto world, a funding announcement is the #1 signal that a company is ready to scale. Stop manual tracking and automate your lead pipeline:

- **B2B Sales & Agencies**: Target startups the moment they close a round—the "peak" buying window for security audits, marketing, and dev tools.
- **VC & Research**: Track which ecosystems (Solana, Ethereum, L2s) are attracting the most capital this week.
- **Market Research**: Identify industry trends and competitive investment patterns without reading through hundreds of articles.

***

### 🛠️ Features

- **✅ Multi-Source Intelligence**: Monitors The Block, CoinDesk, and Decrypt simultaneously.
- **✅ Noise Cancellation**: Sophisticated filters automatically strip out "price gossip," daily market updates, and sidebar widgets.
- **✅ Deep Archive Access**: Built-in pagination logic allows you to crawl through pages of history.
- **✅ Lightweight & Stealthy**: Uses optimized **Cheerio** logic and browser-fingerprinting to run 10x cheaper than browser-based scrapers while avoiding 403 blocks.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://crawlee.dev"
    }
  ]
}' |
apify call complex_intricate_networks/crypto-funding-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

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

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).
