## Pricing

from $1.75 / 1,000 results

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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`).

### What This Actor Does

Pull rich market data for any set of cryptocurrencies. Each coin comes back as one clean record:

- **Price & market cap** — current price, market cap, **market-cap rank**, fully diluted valuation
- **Volume & range** — 24h volume, 24h high/low
- **Performance** — price change over **1h, 24h, 7d, 30d and 1y**, plus 24h market-cap change
- **Supply** — circulating, total and max supply
- **All-time** — ATH and ATL with dates and % from each
- **Meta** — symbol, logo, currency, trending flag, CoinGecko URL and data timestamp

Five ways to select coins:

1. **Top by market cap** (default) — leave inputs empty.
2. **Category** — e.g. `layer-1`, `meme-token`, `artificial-intelligence`.
3. **Search** — by coin name or symbol.
4. **Coin IDs** — exact IDs like `bitcoin`, `ethereum`.
5. **Trending** — the current trending coins.

Prices come in **any currency** (USD, EUR, GBP, TRY, BTC…).

***

### Why Use This

- **Track prices & market caps** across thousands of coins on a schedule, in your currency.
- **Build dashboards & portfolios** with ranks, volume, supply and multi-period performance.
- **Research sectors** by category (L1s, memes, AI, DeFi…) and spot trending coins.
- **Clean and fast.** Reads CoinGecko's public API — no key, no login, no browser.

***

### Quick Start

#### Run it in the console (no code)

1. Leave inputs empty for the **top coins**, or add a **category**, **searches**, **coin IDs**, or toggle **trending**.
2. Pick a **currency**, set **Max coins**, click **Start**.
3. Export as **JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML**, or push to Sheets, a webhook or a database.

#### Top 500 coins (Python)

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")

run = client.actor("YOUR_USERNAME/coingecko-scraper").call(run_input={"maxItems": 500, "vsCurrency": "usd"})

for c in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(c["marketCapRank"], c["symbol"], c["currentPrice"], c["priceChangePercentage24h"], "%")
```

#### A sector + trending (Python)

```python
run = client.actor("YOUR_USERNAME/coingecko-scraper").call(run_input={
    "category": "artificial-intelligence", "includeTrending": True, "vsCurrency": "eur",
})
```

***

### Input Parameters

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `searchTerms` | array | Coin names/symbols to search. |
| `coinIds` | array | Exact CoinGecko coin IDs (e.g. `bitcoin`). |
| `category` | string | Category ID (e.g. `layer-1`, `meme-token`). |
| `includeTrending` | boolean | Also include the current trending coins. |
| `vsCurrency` | string | Quote currency (e.g. `usd`, `eur`, `try`, `btc`). |
| `maxItems` | integer | Max coins. `0` = no limit. Empty searches = top coins by market cap. |
| `maxPages` | integer | Pagination cap for top/category modes (250 per page). |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Apify Proxy. Datacenter is enough (public API). |

***

### Output

Each coin is one record:

```json
{
  "id": "bitcoin", "symbol": "BTC", "name": "Bitcoin",
  "currentPrice": 86294, "marketCap": 1733815420370, "marketCapRank": 1,
  "totalVolume": 39437028591, "high24h": 86794, "low24h": 83457,
  "priceChangePercentage1h": 0.16, "priceChangePercentage24h": 2.81,
  "priceChangePercentage7d": 2.34, "priceChangePercentage30d": 12.43, "priceChangePercentage1y": -27.22,
  "circulatingSupply": 20092375, "maxSupply": 21000000,
  "ath": 126080, "athDate": "2025-10-06T10:57:42.000Z",

  "isTrending": false, "vsCurrency": "usd",
  "url": "https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/bitcoin"
}
```

***

### Use Cases

#### 1. Price & market-cap tracking

Snapshot prices, ranks and volume for thousands of coins on a schedule, in any currency.

#### 2. Dashboards & portfolios

Feed ranks, performance and supply into dashboards, sheets or portfolio tools.

#### 3. Sector & trend research

Pull a category (L1, meme, AI, DeFi) or the trending list to analyse a segment.

#### 4. Alerts & analytics

Watch 24h/7d changes or ATH distance for alerting and backtesting.

***

### Tips

- **Leave searches empty** for the top coins by market cap — the fastest way to a full table.
- **`category`** focuses on a sector; browse CoinGecko categories for IDs (e.g. `meme-token`).
- **`vsCurrency`** re-prices everything — compare the same coins across currencies.
- **`priceChangePercentage7d` / `30d` / `1y`** give momentum beyond 24h.
- **Schedule it** with Apify Schedules for recurring market snapshots.

***

### Frequently Asked Questions

**Do I need an account or key?**
No. The CoinGecko public API is free and keyless — no login or anti-bot.

**Which currencies are supported?**
Fiat (USD, EUR, GBP, TRY, JPY…) and crypto (BTC, ETH) quote currencies.

**How do I get a whole sector?**
Use `category` with a CoinGecko category ID such as `layer-1`, `meme-token` or `artificial-intelligence`.

**How fresh is the data?**
Each record includes `lastUpdated` from CoinGecko; prices are near real-time.

**What export formats are supported?**
JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, or via API — plus Google Sheets, webhooks, Make and Zapier.

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).
