## 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

## Turkey Crypto Exchange Prices — BtcTurk & Paribu + Cross-Exchange Spread

Live prices from Turkey's two largest crypto exchanges — **BtcTurk** and **Paribu** — in one normalized dataset. No API keys, no accounts.

### Why this actor exists

Global crypto APIs quote USD. Turkish traders, fintechs and analysts need **TRY-quoted local prices**, which routinely diverge from global markets (the "lira premium"). This actor gives you both exchanges side by side and — uniquely — computes the **cross-exchange price difference for every pair listed on both**.

### What you get

**Ticker row per exchange & pair:** last, bid, ask, 24h high/low, 24h volume, 24h change %, bid-ask spread %, observation timestamp.

**Cross-exchange spread row per pair (optional):**

```json
{
  "type": "cross_exchange_spread",
  "pair": "BTC/TRY",
  "cheapestExchange": "Paribu",
  "cheapestPrice": 3071869,
  "highestExchange": "BtcTurk",
  "highestPrice": 3074370,
  "differencePct": 0.0814
}
```

### Input

- **exchanges** — `btcturk`, `paribu` (both by default)
- **symbols** — filter base assets (`BTC`, `ETH`, `USDT`…), empty = all (400+ pairs)
- **quote** — `TRY`, `USDT` or `ALL`
- **includeSpread** — on/off for the comparison rows

### Use cases

- **Arbitrage & spread monitoring** between Turkish exchanges
- **TRY premium tracking** vs global prices (pair with any USD feed)
- **Fintech / portfolio apps** needing local TRY quotes
- **Research:** local liquidity and volume per pair
- **Alerting:** schedule every few minutes and trigger when `differencePct` crosses your threshold

### Notes

Public exchange ticker endpoints; no authentication required. Data is as published by each exchange at request time. This is market data, not investment advice.

# Actor input Schema

## `exchanges` (type: `array`):

Which Turkish exchanges to read: "btcturk", "paribu". Both = cross-exchange spread rows are added.

## `symbols` (type: `array`):

Base assets to keep, e.g. \["BTC","ETH","USDT","XRP"]. Empty = every listed pair.

## `quote` (type: `string`):

Filter by quote currency.

## `includeSpread` (type: `boolean`):

Adds one row per pair listed on both exchanges: cheapest vs highest price and the % difference.

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

Apify Proxy (automatic) is recommended.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "exchanges": [
    "btcturk",
    "paribu"
  ],
  "symbols": [
    "BTC",
    "ETH",
    "USDT"
  ],
  "quote": "TRY",
  "includeSpread": true,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}
```

# 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 = {
    "exchanges": [
        "btcturk",
        "paribu"
    ],
    "symbols": [
        "BTC",
        "ETH",
        "USDT"
    ],
    "quote": "TRY"
};

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

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {
    "exchanges": [
        "btcturk",
        "paribu",
    ],
    "symbols": [
        "BTC",
        "ETH",
        "USDT",
    ],
    "quote": "TRY",
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("gmpsignal/turkey-crypto-exchange-prices").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}")

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "exchanges": [
    "btcturk",
    "paribu"
  ],
  "symbols": [
    "BTC",
    "ETH",
    "USDT"
  ],

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,gmpsignal/turkey-crypto-exchange-prices"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
