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 ## WhatToMine Scraper - Crypto Mining Profitability Scrapes cryptocurrency mining profitability data from [WhatToMine.com](https://whattomine.com). Extract coin algorithms, block rewards, difficulty, network hashrate, exchange rates, market caps, and estimated revenue for both GPU and ASIC mining. ### Features - **GPU & ASIC coins**: Scrape 44+ GPU-minable coins and 55+ ASIC-minable coins - **Real-time profitability**: Get current profitability scores and 24h comparisons - **Revenue estimates**: BTC revenue, estimated rewards, and exchange rates - **Filtering**: Filter by mining type, algorithm, market cap, or profitability score - **No anti-bot**: WhatToMine provides clean JSON data, so scraping is fast and reliable ### Input Parameters | Parameter | Type | Default | Description | |-----------|------|---------|-------------| | `miningType` | string | `gpu` | Mining type: `gpu`, `asic`, or `both` | | `filterAlgorithm` | string | (empty) | Filter by algorithm (e.g., `Ethash`, `SHA-256`) | | `minMarketCap` | integer | 0 | Minimum market cap filter | | `minProfitability` | integer | 0 | Minimum profitability score | ### Output Example ```json { "name": "Ravencoin", "tag": "RVN", "algorithm": "KawPow", "miningType": "gpu", "blockTime": 60.0, "blockReward": 2500.0, "difficulty": 45234.5, "nethash": 3456789, "exchangeRate": 0.01234, "marketCap": "$150,000,000", "profitability": 85, "btcRevenue": "0.00001234", "url": "https://whattomine.com/coins/234" } ```` ### Use Cases - **Mining rig operators**: Compare profitability across coins to optimize mining decisions - **Crypto researchers**: Track difficulty trends and network hashrate changes - **Portfolio managers**: Monitor mining economics for investment decisions - **Mining pools**: Analyze which coins to add based on profitability data - **Data analysts**: Build historical profitability datasets for trend analysis *** ### Run on Apify This scraper runs on the [Apify platform](https://apify.com/?fpr=lulzasaur) — a full-stack web scraping and automation cloud.

Leave empty for all. ## `minMarketCap` (type: `integer`): Filter out coins below this market cap. Set 0 for no filter. ## `minProfitability` (type: `integer`): Filter coins with profitability score below this. Set 0 for no filter. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings (usually not needed for WhatToMine) ## Actor input object example ```json { "miningType": "gpu", "filterAlgorithm": "", "minMarketCap": 0, "minProfitability": 0, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `dataset` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = {}; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("lulzasaur/whattomine-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
