The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

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 ## CoinGecko Crypto Market Data Fetch live and historical cryptocurrency data from [CoinGecko](https://coingecko.com) — the most comprehensive free crypto data API. No API key required. Runs reliably on a schedule for price monitoring, portfolio tracking, and market alerts. ### What it does - **Top coins** — live prices, market caps, 24h/7d % changes, volume, supply, ATH for the top N coins by market cap - **Trending** — the 7 coins trending on CoinGecko in the last 24 hours, with full market data - **Specific coins** — exact coin IDs you choose (bitcoin, ethereum, solana, etc.) - **Market overview** — global totals: total market cap, 24h volume, BTC/ETH dominance %, active coins - **Price history** — daily OHLCV (open/high/low/close) for any coin, up to 365 days back - **Social stats** — GitHub stars/forks, Twitter followers, Reddit subscribers (optional) ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | `mode` | string | `top_coins` | `top_coins`, `trending`, `specific_coins`, or `market_overview` | | `coinIds` | array | `["bitcoin","ethereum","solana"]` | Coin IDs for `specific_coins` mode | | `topN` | integer | `100` | How many top coins to return (max 250) | | `currency` | string | `usd` | Quote currency: `usd`, `eur`, `gbp`, `btc`, `eth`, etc. | | `includeHistory` | boolean | `false` | Fetch daily OHLCV price history | | `historyDays` | integer | `30` | Days of history per coin (1–365) | | `includeSocialStats` | boolean | `false` | Add GitHub, Twitter, Reddit stats per coin | ### Output Each coin record: ```json { "id": "bitcoin", "recordType": "coin", "symbol": "BTC", "name": "Bitcoin", "rank": 1, "price": 67420.15, "priceChange24h": 1205.80, "priceChangePct24h": 1.82, "priceChangePct7d": -3.41, "marketCap": 1328456789012, "volume24h": 24567890123, "circulatingSupply": 19700000, "totalSupply": 21000000, "ath": 73738.0, "athDate": "2024-03-14T07:10:36.635Z", "athChangePct": -8.59, "currency": "usd", "fetchedAt": "2026-06-19T10:00:00.000Z" } ```` History record (when `includeHistory: true`): ```json { "id": "bitcoin-1718755200000", "recordType": "history_point", "coinId": "bitcoin", "symbol": "BTC", "timestamp": "2026-06-19T00:00:00.000Z", "open": 66800.0, "high": 67900.0, "low": 66200.0, "close": 67420.0, "currency": "usd" } ``` ### Pricing - **$0.002 per coin** (live data record) - **$0.001 per history point** (when `includeHistory: true`) | Run | Cost | |---|---| | Top 100 coins, live prices | $0.20 | | Top 100 coins + 30 days history | $3.20 | | Trending 7 coins | $0.014 | | Market overview | $0.002 | ### Use cases - **Portfolio tracker** — schedule hourly to keep a spreadsheet or dashboard current - **Price alert system** — run every 15 minutes, pipe into n8n/Make to trigger alerts when a coin crosses a threshold - **AI trading signal feed** — feed into an LLM agent for market commentary or trading decisions - **DeFi dashboard** — display live top 50 prices on a custom UI - **Research & analytics** — download 1-year OHLCV history for backtesting strategies - **Market sentiment** — track trending coins daily to spot emerging narratives early ### Scheduling tip Set up a scheduled run in Apify Console → Schedules. Common patterns: - Every 15 minutes: `*/15 * * * *` (trending + specific watchlist) - Daily at 09:00 UTC: `0 9 * * *` (top 100 + history) - First of each month: `0 0 1 * *` (full market snapshot) ### Why CoinGecko? CoinGecko's free API has been stable and publicly accessible since 2014. It covers 13,000+ coins across 900+ exchanges, updated every ~60 seconds. No API key required for the free tier (used by this actor). All data is sourced directly from the official CoinGecko API — no scraping, no brittle selectors, no proxies needed. # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): What data to fetch. top\_coins = top N by market cap. trending = coins trending in last 24h. specific\_coins = exact coin IDs you provide. market\_overview = global market summary only. ## `coinIds` (type: `array`): CoinGecko coin IDs to fetch. E.g. \["bitcoin", "ethereum", "solana", "cardano"]. Only used when mode=specific\_coins. ## `topN` (type: `integer`): How many top coins by market cap to return. Max 250. ## `currency` (type: `string`): Currency for prices and market caps. E.g. usd, eur, gbp, jpy, btc, eth. ## `includeHistory` (type: `boolean`): If true, fetches daily OHLCV history for each coin. Set historyDays to control range. ## `historyDays` (type: `integer`): Number of days of price history to fetch per coin (when includeHistory is true).
