## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Crypto Market Scraper — Prices, Market Data & History (CoinGecko)

Get **cryptocurrency market data** from CoinGecko's public API — **no API key**. Fetch the **top coins by market cap**, **specific coins** you name, the **trending** coins right now, and **daily price/market-cap/volume history** for any coin.

> ⚠️ Data is provided for **informational purposes only** and is **not investment advice**.

### What it does

- **Markets** — top N coins by market cap: price, market cap & rank, 24h/7d/30d change, volume, ATH/ATL, circulating/total/max supply.
- **Coins** — the same rich data for specific coins (`bitcoin`, `ethereum`, `solana`).
- **Trending** — the coins trending on CoinGecko right now.
- **History** — daily price / market-cap / volume points for any coin (1 day → max).
- Price in any currency (`usd`, `eur`, `aed`, `btc`, …).
- Export to **JSON, CSV, or Excel**, or pull via the Apify API.

### Input

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `mode` | `markets`, `coins`, or `trending`. |
| `coinIds` | CoinGecko IDs for `coins` mode / history targets. |
| `vsCurrency` | Quote currency (`usd`, `eur`, …). |
| `topN` | How many coins in `markets` mode. |
| `getHistory` | Also fetch price history. |
| `historyDays` | `1`…`365` or `max`. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | Optional proxy (usually not needed). |

#### Example

```json
{
  "mode": "markets",
  "vsCurrency": "usd",
  "topN": 50,
  "getHistory": false
}
```

### Output

One item per **coin** or **history point**:

```json
{ "resultType": "coin", "id": "bitcoin", "symbol": "BTC", "name": "Bitcoin",
  "price": 77641, "marketCapRank": 1, "priceChangePct24h": -1.2, "ath": 109000 }
```

```json
{ "resultType": "pricePoint", "coinId": "bitcoin", "date": "2026-09-10T00:00:00Z",
  "price": 78120.4, "marketCap": 1543000000000, "volume": 41200000000 }
```

### Use cases

- **Dashboards & watchlists** — live market data for a portfolio of coins.
- **Backtesting** — daily price/volume history for any coin.
- **Market research / screening** — rank the market, spot movers, track trending coins.
- **Alerts & AI/RAG** — feed structured crypto data to an LLM or a bot.

### FAQ

**Do I need an API key?** No — it uses CoinGecko's free public API (the Actor backs off on rate limits).

**How do I find a coin's ID?** It's the CoinGecko slug, e.g. `bitcoin`, `ethereum`, `binancecoin`, `solana`.

# Actor input Schema

## `mode` (type: `string`):

What to fetch: the market-cap leaderboard, specific coins you name, or the currently trending coins.

## `coinIds` (type: `array`):

CoinGecko coin IDs, e.g. 'bitcoin', 'ethereum', 'solana'. Used in 'Specific coins' mode (and to target history).

## `vsCurrency` (type: `string`):

Currency to price in, e.g. 'usd', 'eur', 'aed', 'btc'.

## `topN` (type: `integer`):

How many top coins to return in 'Top coins' mode.

## `getHistory` (type: `boolean`):

Also fetch daily price / market-cap / volume history for each coin.

## `historyDays` (type: `string`):

How far back the history goes (days).

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Optional proxy. CoinGecko's public API usually works without one.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "mode": "markets",
  "coinIds": [
    "bitcoin",
    "ethereum"
  ],
  "vsCurrency": "usd",
  "topN": 50,
  "getHistory": false,
  "historyDays": "30",
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `results` (type: `string`):

Structured results in the default dataset - one item per coin or history point.

# 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 = {
    "coinIds": [
        "bitcoin",
        "ethereum"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("get_anything/crypto-market-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);
});

        "ethereum",
    ] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("get_anything/crypto-market-scraper").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():

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "coinIds": [
    "bitcoin",
    "ethereum"
  ]
}' |
apify call get_anything/crypto-market-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,get_anything/crypto-market-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).
