📑 CoinGecko Derivatives Scraper — Scrape Crypto Futures & Perpetual Tickers

Scrape 22,000+ crypto derivative tickers from CoinGecko in a single run — every perpetual and futures contract across all derivatives exchanges — and export them to JSON, CSV or Excel. This CoinGecko derivatives scraper pulls price, funding rate, open interest, basis, spread and 24h volume straight from the official CoinGecko API, with no login and no API key required.

Derivatives data moves constantly, so this Actor is built for scheduled, recurring use: run it on an interval to keep a continuously fresh crypto derivatives feed for trading, risk and research.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an API key or login? No. This Actor uses the official, public CoinGecko API — no API key, no account and no login are required.

Is using CoinGecko data allowed? The Actor consumes CoinGecko's public API directly. Always use the data responsibly and in line with CoinGecko's terms.

How much data can I get? You can pull all 22,000+ derivative tickers in a single run. Set maxTickers to 0 for the full set, or a smaller number for a quick targeted run.

Can I filter by contract type or volume? Yes. Use contractType to focus on perpetuals or futures, and minVolume24h to drop low-liquidity tickers. You can also sort by volume, open interest, price change or price.

How fresh is the data? The data reflects CoinGecko's current values at the time of the run. Because derivatives data changes constantly, schedule the Actor to run frequently for an up-to-date feed.

Can I build a historical archive? Yes. Schedule the Actor on a fixed interval and each run appends a fresh snapshot, giving you a longitudinal dataset of funding rates, open interest and volume.
