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 live crypto data from CoinGecko — no browser, no headless Chrome, just clean API data. Supports three modes: - **Markets** — coin prices, market caps, volumes, ATH/ATL, and price change % across any time interval - **Trending** — the 15 coins trending on CoinGecko right now - **Global** — total market cap, 24h volume, BTC/ETH dominance, active cryptocurrency count No API key required for basic use. Add a free CoinGecko Demo API key for higher rate limits. ### Use Cases - Portfolio tracking dashboards - Price alert pipelines (connect to Zapier/Make) - Daily crypto newsletters and digests - Market research and data analysis - Altcoin screeners by category (DeFi, L1/L2, NFT tokens, etc.) ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `mode` | string | `markets` | `markets`, `trending`, or `global` | | `vsCurrency` | string | `usd` | Price currency (usd, eur, btc, eth, etc.) | | `coinIds` | string[] | `[]` | Filter to specific coins by CoinGecko ID (e.g. `bitcoin`, `ethereum`). Empty = all | | `category` | string | — | CoinGecko category slug (e.g. `decentralized-finance-defi`, `layer-1`) | | `order` | string | `market_cap_desc` | Sort order for markets mode | | `maxResults` | integer | `100` | Max coins to return (markets mode only, up to 5000) | | `includeSparkline` | boolean | `false` | Include 7-day sparkline price array | | `priceChangePercentages` | string[] | `["24h"]` | Price change % intervals: `1h`, `24h`, `7d`, `14d`, `30d`, `1y` | | `apiKey` | string | — | CoinGecko Demo API key (optional, for higher rate limits) | ### Output — Markets Mode ```json { "id": "bitcoin", "symbol": "btc", "name": "Bitcoin", "image": "https://...", "currentPrice": 67842, "marketCap": 1337000000000, "marketCapRank": 1, "fullyDilutedValuation": 1424000000000, "totalVolume": 28500000000, "high24h": 68100, "low24h": 66500, "priceChange24h": 450.12, "priceChangePercentage24h": 0.67, "marketCapChange24h": 8900000000, "marketCapChangePercentage24h": 0.67, "circulatingSupply": 19700000, "totalSupply": 21000000, "maxSupply": 21000000, "ath": 73738, "athChangePercentage": -7.99, "athDate": "2024-03-14T07:10:36.635Z", "atl": 67.81, "atlChangePercentage": 99900.12, "atlDate": "2013-07-06T00:00:00.000Z", "lastUpdated": "2024-10-20T12:00:00.000Z" } ```` ### Output — Trending Mode ```json { "id": "solana", "name": "Solana", "symbol": "SOL", "marketCapRank": 5, "score": 0, "thumb": "https://...", "large": "https://...", "priceChange24h": 3.21, "marketCap": "$76.5 B" } ``` ### Output — Global Mode ```json { "activeCryptocurrencies": 15230, "markets": 1120, "totalMarketCap": { "usd": 2650000000000, "btc": 38900, "eth": 890000 }, "totalVolume": { "usd": 98000000000 }, "marketCapPercentage": { "btc": 56.2, "eth": 13.1 }, "marketCapChangePercentage24hUsd": 1.23, "updatedAt": "2024-10-20T12:00:00.000Z" } ``` ### Rate Limits CoinGecko's free (public) API allows ~30 requests/minute. This Actor automatically handles rate limiting with retries and delays. For higher limits, get a free Demo API key at [coingecko.com](https://www.coingecko.com/en/api) and pass it as `apiKey`. ### Category Slugs Popular CoinGecko category slugs for the `category` input: - `decentralized-finance-defi` — DeFi - `layer-1` — L1 blockchains - `layer-2` — L2 / rollups - `non-fungible-tokens-nft` — NFT tokens - `artificial-intelligence` — AI coins - `real-world-assets-rwa` — RWA - `meme-token` — Meme coins - `gaming` — GameFi Find all category slugs via the CoinGecko API: `/api/v3/coins/categories/list` # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): What data to fetch from CoinGecko. ## `vsCurrency` (type: `string`): Currency to express prices in (e.g. usd, eur, btc, eth). ## `coinIds` (type: `array`): Filter to specific coins by CoinGecko ID (e.g. bitcoin, ethereum, solana).
