🚀 Crypto Launch Tracker - ICO & Token Launch Intel with Delta Alerts

Stay ahead of the crypto fundraising market with Crypto Launch Tracker — a comprehensive ICO Drops scraper that gives you structured, actionable data on every token launch. With three distinct operating modes — Discover, Enrich, and Monitor — you can crawl entire categories, deep-scrape specific projects, or set up delta tracking that only surfaces brand-new launches. Every project comes with normalized social links and an auto-selected "best contact," so your outreach pipeline starts working the moment data lands.

📊 What data can you extract?

• Project fundamentals — name, description, token ticker, stage (upcoming / active / ended)
• Funding details — fundraising goal, token price, accepted currencies, platform/blockchain
• Timeline data — start date, end date, registration deadlines
• Social links — Twitter/X handle, Telegram group, Discord server, Medium blog, GitHub org
• Contact info — auto-selected "best contact" (prioritizes Telegram > Twitter > email)
• Categorization — project category, tags, ICO rating, interest level
• Change tracking — delta flags for new or updated projects across runs

⭐ Key Features

• 3 Operating Modes — Discover crawls ICO Drops categories to build a full project list. Enrich deep-scrapes specific project URLs you provide. Monitor compares against the previous run and only outputs new or changed projects.
• Delta Tracking — In Monitor mode, the actor persists state between runs and only returns projects it has never seen before, or projects whose key fields have changed. Zero noise, maximum signal.
• Social Link Normalization — Raw URLs are cleaned and standardized. Twitter links become @handle format. Telegram links resolve to group names. Duplicate and broken links are stripped automatically.
• Auto "Best Contact" Selection — Every project gets a bestContact field chosen by a priority hierarchy: direct Telegram group > Twitter handle > email. Saves hours of manual research for outreach teams.
• 3 Output Formats — Choose research (all fields), outreach (contact-focused subset), or CRM (flat key-value pairs ready for import into HubSpot, Salesforce, or any CRM).
• Field-Level Filtering — Request only the fields you need. Reduce payload size and post-processing work by specifying exactly which columns matter to your workflow.

❓ FAQ

What is the difference between Discover and Monitor modes? Discover returns all projects in a category every time it runs — useful for building an initial dataset or doing a one-off research sweep. Monitor stores the previous run's results and only outputs projects that are new or have changed fields since the last run. Use Monitor for ongoing pipelines where you only want fresh leads.

How does "best contact" selection work? The actor evaluates all social and contact links found on a project page and picks the most actionable one using a priority order: Telegram group (highest — direct community access) > Twitter/X handle > email address > Discord. The logic prefers channels where outreach gets the fastest response.

Can I scrape ended/completed ICOs? Yes. Set category to ended in Discover or Enrich mode to scrape historical token launches. This is useful for market research, building training datasets, or analyzing which categories and blockchains have the highest completion rates.
