# CoinGecko Crypto Scraper - Prices & Market Data (`fascinating_lentil/coingecko-crypto-scraper`) Actor Scrape cryptocurrency market data from CoinGecko: prices, market cap, rank, volume, 24h change, supply, ATH/ATL. By coin, search, or top by market cap. No API key needed. - **URL**: https://apify.com/fascinating\_lentil/coingecko-crypto-scraper.md - **Developed by:** [Md Jakaria Mirza](https://apify.com/fascinating_lentil) (community) - **Categories:** Developer tools, Other - **Stats:** 2 total users, 1 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, 0 bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing from $1.00 / 1,000 coin scrapeds This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

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 ## CoinGecko Crypto Scraper - Prices and Market Data Collect structured cryptocurrency market data from CoinGecko. Scrape specific CoinGecko coin IDs, resolve coin names or symbols through search, or retrieve the leading cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. The Actor returns current price, market cap, rank, 24-hour volume and price movement, supply data, all-time high and low, image URL, and source timestamps. It uses CoinGecko's public API and supports an optional Demo API key for higher limits. ### Features - Specific coin IDs such as `bitcoin`, `ethereum`, and `solana` - Coin search with a configurable match limit - Top cryptocurrencies ranked by market cap - Quote currencies including USD, EUR, INR, and BTC - Automatic deduplication across all input modes - Optional proxy rotation for rate-limited large runs - Pay only after a clean coin record is saved ### Input | Field | Description | Default | |---|---|---| | `coinIds` | CoinGecko coin IDs | `[]` | | `searchQueries` | Coin names or symbols to search | `[]` | | `maxSearchResults` | Maximum selected matches per search query | `5` | | `topCoins` | Number of leading coins by market cap | `10` | | `vsCurrency` | Quote currency | `usd` | | `apiKey` | Optional CoinGecko Demo API key | None | | `proxyConfiguration` | Optional proxy rotation | Disabled | ```json { "coinIds": ["solana"], "searchQueries": ["dogecoin"], "maxSearchResults": 2, "topCoins": 5, "vsCurrency": "usd", "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } } ```` ### Sample output ```json { "id": "solana", "symbol": "SOL", "name": "Solana", "vsCurrency": "usd", "currentPrice": 65.23, "marketCap": 37808420731, "marketCapRank": 7, "totalVolume": 3341336457, "high24h": 65.38, "low24h": 62.38, "priceChangePercentage24h": 2.03, "circulatingSupply": 579707291.97, "maxSupply": null, "ath": 293.31, "athDate": "2025-01-19T11:15:27.957Z", "atl": 0.500801, "imageUrl": "https://coin-images.coingecko.com/coins/images/...", "lastUpdated": "2026-06-12T16:00:00.000Z", "scrapedAt": "2026-06-12T16:00:01.000Z" } ``` ### How to scrape CoinGecko data 1. Add coin IDs, search queries, or set `topCoins`. 2. Choose the quote currency. 3. Leave proxy rotation disabled for normal API runs. 4. Add a CoinGecko Demo API key for larger workloads when needed. 5. Run the Actor and export the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, or another supported format. ### Use cases - Cryptocurrency dashboards and market tables - Portfolio valuation and scheduled price monitoring - Trading and quantitative research - Market-cap, volume, and momentum analysis - Historical ATH and ATL reference datasets ### Pricing | Event | Price | |---|---| | `coin-scraped` | $0.001 per successfully saved coin | The Actor charges only for records written to the dataset. Apify platform usage is billed separately. ### Data source Market data is provided by CoinGecko. Users are responsible for following CoinGecko's API terms, attribution requirements, and applicable usage limits. ### License Apache-2.0 # Actor input Schema ## `coinIds` (type: `array`): CoinGecko coin IDs (e.g. "bitcoin", "ethereum", "solana"). ## `searchQueries` (type: `array`): Coin names/symbols to look up and resolve to coin IDs (e.g. "bitcoin", "doge"). ## `maxSearchResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of relevant CoinGecko matches selected for each search query. ## `topCoins` (type: `integer`): Number of top coins (by market cap) to scrape. Set to 0 to scrape only the specified coins/searches. ## `vsCurrency` (type: `string`): Currency to quote prices in (e.g. "usd", "eur", "inr", "btc"). ## `apiKey` (type: `string`): A CoinGecko Demo API key raises rate limits. Leave empty to use the free public API. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Optional proxy settings. Keep disabled for normal runs; enable rotation only when rate limits require it. ## Actor input object example ```json { "coinIds": [], "searchQueries": [], "maxSearchResults": 5, "topCoins": 10, "vsCurrency": "usd", "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } } ``` # 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 '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "topCoins": 10 }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("fascinating_lentil/coingecko-crypto-scraper").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); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
