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 Scraper Scrape CoinGecko's public API. Four datasets: - **markets** - top coins by market cap (price, volume, change, supply, ATH) - **trending** - top 15 trending coins (rank, score, market cap rank) - **exchanges** - paginated exchange list (trust score, volume) - **categories** - DeFi / L1 / meme / etc. with market cap Useful for **crypto market analysis**, **portfolio tracking**, **trading research**, **investor reports**. ### Free vs. paid - **Free plan:** 15 clearly-labelled mock records. - **Paid plan:** real, live CoinGecko data. ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `dataset` | String (required) | `markets`, `trending`, `exchanges`, `categories`. | | `vsCurrency` | String | Quote currency for `markets`. Default `usd`. | | `maxItems` | Integer | Default 250, max 10,000. | | `debug` | Boolean | Verbose logs. | ### Output samples `markets`: ```json { "kind": "coin", "id": "bitcoin", "name": "Bitcoin", "symbol": "BTC", "price": 73450.00, "marketCap": 1450000000000, "marketCapRank": 1, "change24h": 2.34, "change7d": 5.6, "change30d": 12.4, "totalVolume": 28000000000, "circulatingSupply": 19800000, "ath": 78000, "vsCurrency": "usd", "url": "https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/bitcoin" } ```` `trending`: ```json { "kind": "trending", "rank": 1, "id": "bonk", "name": "Bonk", "symbol": "BONK", "marketCapRank": 75, "priceBtc": 0.000000001 } ``` ### Pricing $0.005/record. 1,000 records = $5. ### Limitations - CoinGecko's free public API has a rate limit (~10-30 calls/min). The actor adds a 600ms delay between paged calls. - Some fields (`change7d`, `change30d`) may be `null` for newly-listed coins. If this actor helped you, please leave a review on the Apify Store. # Actor input Schema ## `dataset` (type: `string`): Which CoinGecko dataset to pull: 'markets' (top coins by market cap, paginated), 'trending' (top 15 trending coins), 'exchanges' (paginated exchange list), 'categories' (DeFi/L1/etc). ## `vsCurrency` (type: `string`): Quote currency for prices. Most common: usd, eur, brl, btc, eth. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Max records to return. ## `debug` (type: `boolean`): Enable verbose logging. ## Actor input object example ```json { "dataset": "markets", "vsCurrency": "usd", "maxItems": 250, "debug": false } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): Full record per CoinGecko entry. Fields depend on dataset (markets/trending/exchanges/categories). # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "maxItems": 250 }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("gio21/coingecko-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
