CoinMarketCap Crypto Scraper

# CoinMarketCap Crypto Scraper

Pull live cryptocurrency data from CoinMarketCap. Point it at a list of coin slugs or symbols and you get structured JSON back, price, market cap, volume, supply, ATH, tags, website links, the lot. Works for individual lookups or bulk top-N listings.

What it does

• Look up any coin by slug (bitcoin, ethereum), ticker (BTC, ETH), or a full CoinMarketCap URL
• Scrape the top N coins by market cap in one run, with automatic pagination
• Each result includes price, 24h/7d/30d percentage changes, market cap, volume, circulating and max supply, fully diluted market cap, dominance, 24h range, ATH/ATL, tags, website, block explorer, and logo URL

Use cases

• Price and rank tracking for a watchlist
• Crypto dashboard data pipelines
• Research: categories, tags, official links, project descriptions
• Scheduled monitoring of market cap changes
• Exporting to Google Sheets, databases, or webhooks

Input

Field	Type	Description
coins	string list	Coin slugs, symbols, or CoinMarketCap URLs (e.g. bitcoin, BTC, https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/)
coin	string	Single coin slug or symbol
scrapeListings	boolean	Set to true to scrape top coins by market cap (see below)
maxItems	integer	Max coins to return (default 100, max 1000)
requestTimeoutSecs	integer	Timeout per request in seconds (default 30)

Scrape top coins by market cap

Set scrapeListings to true to collect the top N coins ranked by market cap, without specifying any coin names. Use maxItems to control how many coins to return (default 100, max 1000).

The actor first fetches the ranked coin list, then pulls the full detail page for each coin concurrently. Every output field is populated, including tags, website links, ATH/ATL dates, and description.

{
  "scrapeListings": true,
  "maxItems": 100
}

Top 200:

{
  "scrapeListings": true,
  "maxItems": 200
}

Top 500 for a broad market snapshot:

{
  "scrapeListings": true,
  "maxItems": 500
}

When scrapeListings is true, do not set coins or coin. If both are provided, the coins list takes priority and listings mode is skipped.

Example input — specific coins

{
  "coins": ["bitcoin", "ethereum", "solana", "BNB", "XRP"],
  "maxItems": 5

Tips

• Listings mode paginates automatically. Set maxItems to 500 for a broader market snapshot.
• Symbols are case-insensitive. BTC, btc, and Btc all work the same way.
• You can paste full CoinMarketCap URLs directly into the coins list.
• coinDescription may be null for some coins regardless of mode. CoinMarketCap does not always have a description on file.
• For large listings runs (500+ coins), increase requestTimeoutSecs to 60 to avoid timeouts on slower connections.

Integrations

The dataset output works with:

• Google Sheets via Apify's Google Sheets integration
• Webhooks for run-complete notifications
• Make (Integromat) or Zapier
• Apify API for programmatic access
