Kraken Market Data Scraper — Prices, OHLC & Order Book

Pull Kraken spot market data in bulk and export it as clean JSON, CSV or Excel. Get ticker statistics (ask, bid, last price plus 24-hour high, low, volume and VWAP), OHLC candles at any interval, order book depth (top bids and asks), and the full tradable pair list — one tidy row per pair or per candle.

Perfect for crypto trading bots, price dashboards, backtesting, portfolio trackers, alerting and automated watchlists.

What you get

• 🐙 Every spot pair — request specific pairs like XBTUSD and ETHUSD, or leave the list empty to snapshot all tradable pairs at once (ticker & asset pairs).
• 📈 Four datasets in one Actor — ticker stats, OHLC candles, order book depth, and tradable pair metadata. Pick one with a single dataType field.
• 🕯️ Candles at any interval — 1m, 5m, 15m, 1h, 4h, 1d, 1w and more, up to the 720 most recent candles per pair.
• 📖 Order book snapshots — top bids and asks per side, with best bid, best ask and spread computed for you.
• ⚡ Fast & clean — flat records with numeric fields (not strings), ready for spreadsheets, databases or code.

Note: Kraken uses XBT for Bitcoin, so Bitcoin/US-Dollar is XBTUSD (not BTCUSD).

{ "pairs": ["XBTUSD", "ETHUSD", "SOLUSD"], "dataType": "ticker" }

FAQ

Which pairs can I request? Any Kraken spot trading pair, written as base + quote with no separator — XBTUSD, ETHUSD, SOLEUR, ADAUSD, and so on. Remember Kraken uses XBT for Bitcoin. For a full snapshot of every pair, leave pairs empty (ticker or asset pairs). Not sure of a pair's exact code? Run assetpairs first to list every tradable pair.

What interval options are there for candles? 1, 5, 15, 30, 60, 240 minutes, plus 1440 (daily), 10080 (weekly) and 21600. You get up to the 720 most recent candles per pair.

How is order book depth returned? One row per pair containing the top bids and asks (each a price, volume and timestamp), plus the best bid, best ask and the computed spread. Use count to choose how many levels per side.

What's the output format? Structured JSON — one clean record per pair or per candle, with numeric fields. Export as JSON, CSV, Excel or via the API.

Can I use this in n8n? Yes. Apify has an official n8n community node — run this Actor from an n8n workflow and pipe the returned market data straight into your automation, database or spreadsheet. It also works with Make, Zapier and many more.

Can I integrate this with other tools? The Kraken Market Data Scraper connects with almost any cloud service or web app via integrations on the Apify platform: Make, Zapier, Slack, Google Drive and more, plus the Apify API, JavaScript/Python clients, webhooks and MCP.
