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 Scrape cryptocurrency prices and market data from [CoinMarketCap](https://coinmarketcap.com), the world's largest crypto tracking platform with 8,500+ cryptocurrencies. ### What does CoinMarketCap Scraper do? This Actor extracts real-time cryptocurrency market data from CoinMarketCap's internal data API. Get current prices, market capitalizations, trading volumes, price changes across multiple time periods, and supply data for thousands of cryptocurrencies. ### Features - Scrape up to 8,500+ cryptocurrencies in a single run - Sort by market cap, price, volume, name, or price change - Filter by crypto type (all, coins only, tokens only) - Rich data: price, market cap, volume, 1h/24h/7d/30d/60d/90d changes, dominance, YTD change - Fast HTTP-only scraper (no browser needed) - Automatic pagination handling ### Output Each cryptocurrency result includes: | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `id` | CoinMarketCap internal ID | | `name` | Cryptocurrency name (e.g., "Bitcoin") | | `symbol` | Ticker symbol (e.g., "BTC") | | `slug` | URL slug (e.g., "bitcoin") | | `cmcRank` | CoinMarketCap ranking | | `price` | Current price in USD | | `marketCap` | Market capitalization in USD | | `volume24h` | 24-hour trading volume in USD | | `percentChange1h` | Price change in last 1 hour (%) | | `percentChange24h` | Price change in last 24 hours (%) | | `percentChange7d` | Price change in last 7 days (%) | | `percentChange30d` | Price change in last 30 days (%) | | `percentChange60d` | Price change in last 60 days (%) | | `percentChange90d` | Price change in last 90 days (%) | | `fullyDilutedMarketCap` | Fully diluted market cap in USD | | `circulatingSupply` | Circulating supply | | `totalSupply` | Total supply | | `maxSupply` | Maximum supply (null if unlimited) | | `marketPairCount` | Number of trading pairs | | `dominance` | Market dominance percentage | | `turnover` | Volume/market cap ratio | | `ytdPriceChangePercentage` | Year-to-date price change (%) | | `percentChange1y` | 1-year price change (%) | | `dateAdded` | Date first listed on CoinMarketCap | | `lastUpdated` | Timestamp of last data update | | `scrapedAt` | Timestamp when data was scraped | ### Example output ```json { "id": 1, "name": "Bitcoin", "symbol": "BTC", "slug": "bitcoin", "cmcRank": 1, "circulatingSupply": 20020787, "totalSupply": 20020787, "maxSupply": 21000000, "marketPairCount": 12615, "isActive": true, "dateAdded": "2010-07-13T00:00:00.000Z", "price": 93249.50, "volume24h": 34567890123, "marketCap": 1867123456789, "percentChange1h": -0.12, "percentChange24h": 2.34, "percentChange7d": 5.67, "percentChange30d": 12.45, "percentChange60d": 18.90, "percentChange90d": -8.23, "fullyDilutedMarketCap": 1958239500000, "dominance": 61.23, "turnover": 0.0185, "ytdPriceChangePercentage": -10.5, "percentChange1y": 45.67, "lastUpdated": "2026-04-25T12:00:00.000Z", "scrapedAt": "2026-04-25T12:01:00.000Z" } ```` ### Input parameters | Parameter | Type | Default | Description | |-----------|------|---------|-------------| | `sortBy` | select | `market_cap` | Sort field: market\_cap, name, price, percent\_change\_24h, percent\_change\_7d, volume\_24h | | `sortOrder` | select | `desc` | Sort direction: desc or asc | | `cryptoType` | select | `all` | Filter: all, coins, or tokens | | `maxResults` | integer | `500` | Max results (0 = all, max 10,000) | | `proxyConfiguration` | proxy | none | Optional proxy settings | ### Use cases - **Portfolio tracking**: Get real-time prices for your crypto holdings - **Market analysis**: Track market caps, volumes, and dominance shifts - **Trend detection**: Monitor 1h/24h/7d/30d price changes to spot momentum - **Research**: Compare supply metrics, FDV, and market pair counts - **Alerts**: Feed data into monitoring systems for price alerts - **Data pipelines**: Export to Google Sheets, databases, or BI tools ### Cost of usage This Actor uses CoinMarketCap's public data API which requires no authentication. Typical usage costs on Apify: - **500 cryptos**: ~$0.003 (a few seconds) - **5,000 cryptos**: ~$0.01 (under a minute) - **All 8,500+**: ~$0.02 (1-2 minutes) ### Tips - Start with the default 500 results to get top cryptocurrencies by market cap - Use `cryptoType: "coins"` to filter out tokens and focus on major cryptocurrencies - Sort by `percent_change_24h` descending to find today's biggest gainers - The API returns up to 200 results per page; the scraper handles pagination automatically - No proxy is typically needed, but enable it if you experience rate limiting # Actor input Schema ## `sortBy` (type: `string`): Field to sort cryptocurrency results by. ## `sortOrder` (type: `string`): Sort direction for results. ## `cryptoType` (type: `string`): Filter by cryptocurrency type: all, coins only, or tokens only. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of cryptocurrencies to scrape.
