## 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 Whale & Exchange Flow Intelligence

Stop guessing what the whales are doing. This Actor monitors large-scale movements between private wallets and major exchanges to give you a clear market sentiment.

#### Important:

Getting a free Etherscan key takes 2 minutes — sign up at etherscan.io, go to API Keys, click "Add". Free tier gives you 100,000 calls/day which is more than enough.

#### 🚀 How to Use

1. **Select Network:** Choose Ethereum or Solana.
2. **Set Min Value:** Enter the minimum USD amount to track (e.g., `500000`).
3. **Run Actor:** Get a structured list of whale movements with "Bullish" or "Bearish" labels.

#### ✨ Key Features

- **Exchange Labeling:** Automatically identifies Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, and 20+ other exchanges.
- **Sentiment Tagging:** Instantly tags moves as "Accumulation" or "Sell Pressure."
- **Historical Data:** View flows over the last hour, 24 hours, or 7 days.

#### 🛠 Technical Input Schema (Simplified)

To make it **very easy to use**, this Actor utilizes a streamlined JSON input UI:

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **network** | `Select` | `ethereum` | Choose between ETH or SOL chains. |
| **min_usd_value** | `Number` | `100000` | Only track moves above this amount. |
| **lookback_hours** | `Number` | `24` | How far back to check (1-168 hours). |
| **notify_email** | `String` | `(Optional)` | Receive a summary report via email. |

***

#### 💡 Why this wins in 2026

Most current trackers just tell you *"Whale moved $10M."* Your Actor tells them **"Whale moved $10M to Binance—be careful, a sell-off is likely."** That extra layer of **"Why it matters"** is what makes a tool go viral.

# Actor input Schema

## `apiKey` (type: `string`):

Required. Get a free key at etherscan.io/apis

## `thresholdUsd` (type: `integer`):

Only track whale moves above this USD amount. Recommended: 50,000 to 500,000.

## `lookbackMinutes` (type: `integer`):

How far back to scan. 60 = 1 hour | 1440 = 24 hours | 10080 = 7 days.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "thresholdUsd": 50000,
  "lookbackMinutes": 1440
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `report` (type: `string`):

Visual summary of bearish and bullish whale activity.

## `full_results` (type: `string`):

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("complex_intricate_networks/crypto-whale-tracker-api").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("complex_intricate_networks/crypto-whale-tracker-api").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call complex_intricate_networks/crypto-whale-tracker-api --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

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

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).
