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 ## CryptoCompare Market Data Scraper Scrape live and historical cryptocurrency market data from **CryptoCompare** — the world's largest crypto data aggregator with coverage of 5,500+ coins and 250+ exchanges. Extract top coins by market cap or volume, OHLCV historical price series, exchange rankings, and live coin prices — **no API key required**. --- ### What You Get | Mode | Data | |---|---| | **Top Coins** | Top 500 coins ranked by market cap or 24h volume with full price, volume, market cap, and supply data | | **Historical Price** | Up to 2,000 daily OHLCV candles per coin (open, high, low, close, volume) | | **Exchange Rankings** | Top 250+ crypto exchanges graded by CryptoCompare quality score | | **Coin Details** | Live prices for specific coins in up to 5 currencies simultaneously | --- ### Input Parameters | Parameter | Type | Description | Default | |---|---|---|---| | `mode` | Select | `topCoins`, `historicalPrice`, `exchangeRankings`, `coinDetails` | `topCoins` | | `sortBy` | Select | For topCoins: `market_cap` or `volume_24h` | `market_cap` | | `currency` | Select | Quote currency: `USD`, `EUR`, `GBP`, `BTC`, `ETH` | `USD` | | `symbols` | List | Coin symbols for historical/detail modes, e.g. `["BTC","ETH"]` | — | | `historyDays` | Integer | Number of daily candles (1–2000) | `30` | | `maxItems` | Integer | Maximum records to return (1–500) | `50` | --- ### Output Fields #### Top Coins / Coin Details | Field | Description | |---|---| | `coin_id` | CryptoCompare coin ID (e.g. `BTC`) | | `coin_name` | Full name (e.g. `Bitcoin`) | | `symbol` | Ticker symbol | | `price_usd` | Current USD price | | `market_cap_usd` | Market capitalisation | | `volume_24h_usd` | 24-hour trading volume | | `change_pct_24h` | 24h price change % | | `change_pct_1h` | 1h price change % | | `high_24h` / `low_24h` | 24h high/low | | `open_24h` | 24h open price | | `supply` / `circulating_supply` | Supply metrics | | `max_supply` | Maximum token supply | | `algorithm` | Consensus algorithm (e.g. SHA-256) | | `proof_type` | Proof type (PoW, PoS, etc.) | | `asset_launch_date` | When the asset launched | | `last_market` | Exchange of last trade | | `image_url` | Coin logo image URL | | `url` | CryptoCompare coin page | #### Historical Price (candle records) | Field | Description | |---|---| | `date` | Date (YYYY-MM-DD) | | `open` / `high` / `low` / `close` | OHLCV prices | | `volume_from` | Volume in base coin | | `volume_to` | Volume in quote currency | #### Exchange Rankings | Field | Description | |---|---| | `exchange_name` | Exchange name | | `exchange_grade` | Letter grade (AA, A, B…) | | `exchange_grade_points` | Numerical score (0–100) | | `url` | CryptoCompare exchange page | --- ### Example Use Cases - **Portfolio tracker** — pull daily OHLCV history for your holdings - **Market screener** — rank top 100 coins by 24h volume to find momentum - **Exchange comparison** — identify highly-rated exchanges by grade score - **Price dashboard** — get live prices for 50+ coins in one run --- ### FAQs **Does this require an API key?** No. All modes use CryptoCompare's public free-tier endpoints. No registration required. **How many coins can I scrape?** Up to 500 in `topCoins` mode. `coinDetails` supports unlimited coins in batches. **How far back does history go?** Up to 2,000 daily candles (~5.5 years) per coin in `historicalPrice` mode. **Is the data real-time?** Data is updated every few minutes on CryptoCompare's servers. **What currencies can I quote prices in?** USD, EUR, GBP, BTC, and ETH. **Are stablecoins included?** Yes — filter them out using `maxItems` or by post-processing on your end. # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): What data to fetch. ## `sortBy` (type: `string`): Ranking metric for top coins. ## `currency` (type: `string`): Currency to quote prices in. ## `symbols` (type: `array`): List of coin symbols to fetch details or history for.
