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 ## CoinMarketCap Scraper – Crypto Prices, Market Cap & Historical Data API 🚀 **The fastest, most reliable way to extract live cryptocurrency market data from CoinMarketCap — without an API key, without login, without rate-limit headaches.** Get real-time **crypto prices**, **market capitalization**, **24h volume**, **rankings**, **trending coins**, **top gainers & losers**, full **coin profiles**, and **historical OHLCV price data** — all delivered in one clean, structured dataset ready for Excel, Google Sheets, BigQuery, your database, your dashboard, or your AI agent. > 💡 A turnkey **CoinMarketCap API alternative** for traders, analysts, fintech builders, researchers and AI agents who need accurate crypto data on demand. --- ### ✨ Why use this CoinMarketCap Scraper? - ⚡ **Blazing fast & reliable** — engineered for speed and high success rates, even at scale. - 🔓 **No API key, no account, no authentication** — just enter what you want and run it. - 💰 **Cost-efficient** — optimized to use minimal compute, so you pay less for more data. - 🧱 **One clean dataset** — consistent, well-typed fields.
