## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Market Buy and Sell Counts

Retrieve historical market buy and sell counts for a trading pair, exchange and interval. Export timestamped observations as structured JSON.

### What this Actor does

Compare activity counts across the requested historical period. Each run is a bounded query, not a live feed.

### Input

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `exchange` | string | Yes | Exchange selector. Verified example: `Binance`. |
| `symbol` | string | Yes | Trading-pair symbol. Verified example: `BTCUSDT`. |
| `interval` | string | Yes | Query interval. Keep the spelling shown in the example; supported intervals depend on the query. |
| `endTime` | string | Yes | End timestamp in Unix milliseconds, supplied as a string. The example uses a fixed historical timestamp, not the current time. |
| `size` | string | Yes | Requested number of observations, supplied as a string. Verified example: `10`. |
| `productType` | string | Yes | Market-type selector. Verified value: `SWAP`. |

#### Example input

```json
{
  "endTime": "1789544653328",
  "exchange": "Binance",
  "interval": "1h",
  "productType": "SWAP",
  "size": "10",
  "symbol": "BTCUSDT"
}
```

This input was used for the saved successful run on September 16, 2026. Historical timestamps are examples; update them for your desired period. Supported markets and data coverage depend on the selected parameters. Unsupported combinations can return empty data or errors.

### Output

The observed response contains an outer code, success and data envelope, with a nested envelope in data. Its data array contains timestamped numeric rows. Preserve row positions and confirm market units before interpreting the values.

#### Example output

Abbreviated from the September 16, 2026 response. This is historical data, not a current quote. Rows, series and fields have been omitted for readability.

```json
{
  "code": "1",
  "data": {
    "code": "1",
    "data": [
      [
        1789509600000,
        91873,
        87211
      ],
      [
        1789513200000,
        56977,
        57712
      ]
    ],
    "success": true
  },
  "success": true
}
```

A successful run saves its JSON result under `OUTPUT`. Open the Output tab to inspect response status, fields and available timestamps.

### Pricing

One request event is $0.05. Review the current Pricing panel and set a maximum run charge that covers the event. Check any platform usage displayed before starting.

### How to run

1. Review the required fields and update the example input.
2. Check the current price and run budget.
3. Start one run and wait for its final status.
4. Open Output and inspect the response before using it in a report or workflow.

### Scope and troubleshooting

Each run performs one data query. Data availability and freshness vary by market and query parameters. This Actor does not execute trades, move funds or maintain a live subscription.

If a run fails, inspect its status and log before retrying. For support, open an Actor Issue with the Run ID and sanitized input; omit credentials and private keys. Financial data is informational, not investment advice.

# 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 = {
    "exchange": "Binance",
    "symbol": "BTCUSDT",
    "interval": "1h",
    "endTime": "1789544653328",
    "size": "10",
    "productType": "SWAP"
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("grasstech/data-1866acaa").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 = {
    "exchange": "Binance",
    "symbol": "BTCUSDT",
    "interval": "1h",
    "endTime": "1789544653328",
    "size": "10",
    "productType": "SWAP",
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("grasstech/data-1866acaa").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():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "exchange": "Binance",
  "symbol": "BTCUSDT",
  "interval": "1h",
  "endTime": "1789544653328",
  "size": "10",
  "productType": "SWAP"
}' |
apify call grasstech/data-1866acaa --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,grasstech/data-1866acaa"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
