## 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.

**Get CryptoPanic's crypto news as structured data with zero setup.** Point it at [CryptoPanic](https://cryptopanic.com), pick your coins, and get a clean dataset with every story's headline, summary, source, exact publish time, tagged coins, and how the community voted on it. There is no account to create and no key to lose.

### 🔍 What does this CryptoPanic scraper do?

It collects CryptoPanic's news for each coin you list and merges everything into one de-duplicated dataset. Each story arrives with its headline, a short summary, the publishing source and author, an exact publish timestamp, the coins it was tagged with, and CryptoPanic's own sentiment and panic score where the community has voted. Around half of all stories also carry the full article text.

You can read the plain latest feed or switch to one of CryptoPanic's ranked views such as Rising, Hot, Bullish, or Bearish, and narrow any of them with a keyword.

### 🎯 Why use it?

**You want sentiment data without paying for a second subscription.** Vote counts, panic scores, and coin tags normally sit behind a CryptoPanic account. This Actor collects them without one, so there is no key to request and no separate rate limit to manage.

**You're tracking news across several coins at once.** List BTC, ETH, SOL, or any tickers you follow and get one merged feed. Coverage is spread evenly across your coins, so one busy coin cannot crowd out the rest.

**You're feeding an alert, dashboard, or model.** Exact publish timestamps and structured coin tags make the output easy to join against price data. Schedule it hourly and route the results wherever you need them.

### 💡 Tips

- Leave "Coins" empty for the broadest sweep of everything CryptoPanic is publishing right now.
- Use the Bullish and Bearish feeds together to see both sides of the same story cycle for a coin.
- If you want sentiment data, pick a ranked feed. On Rising, nearly every story arrives with vote counts and a panic score, because that feed is ordered by how people voted. On Latest you get the freshest stories, but many are too new for anyone to have voted on yet.
- Ranked feeds also carry full article text more often, so choose Rising or Hot if the article body matters to you.
- Schedule an hourly run and keep only new story IDs if you are building an alert feed.

### ❓ FAQ

**Do I need a CryptoPanic account or API key?**
No. This Actor reads CryptoPanic's public news feed, so there is no account, no key, and no sign-up.

**Can I get vote counts and sentiment scores?**
Yes. Community sentiment, panic score, vote breakdowns, and coin tags are all included, with no API key needed.

**Why do some stories have no full article text?**
CryptoPanic only holds the full body for publishers that share it, which is roughly half of all stories. The rest are link posts where only a headline and summary were published. Requesting those stories individually does not add the text, so this is a limit of what CryptoPanic has rather than of this Actor.

**Why do some stories have no panic score or votes?**
Those values only exist once enough people have voted on a story, so very recent items often have none. This Actor never fills in placeholder values, so the field is simply left out when CryptoPanic has not published it.

**Will I get duplicate articles if I list overlapping coins?**
No. Stories are de-duplicated across every coin in the run, so an article tagged with both BTC and ETH is stored once.

**How far back can it go?**
Each coin feed goes back several hundred stories. Raise "Max items" to collect more, or schedule regular runs to build history over time.

# Actor input Schema

## `currencies` (type: `array`):

Coin tickers to collect news for, for example BTC, ETH, SOL. Each coin is collected separately and the results are merged and de-duplicated. Leave empty for the general news feed.

## `newsFilter` (type: `string`):

Which CryptoPanic feed to read. Latest is the straight chronological feed; the others are CryptoPanic's own community-ranked views.

## `searchQuery` (type: `string`):

Optional keyword filter, for example "ETF" or "halving". Leave empty to collect everything in the selected feed.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of unique stories to collect across all coins in this run.

## `requestDelayMs` (type: `integer`):

Pause between requests. Raise this if a very large run starts getting rate limited.

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

Datacenter proxies (the default) are cheap and work for CryptoPanic. Switch to Residential only if a very large run starts getting blocked.
