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 ## Polymarket Top Traders — Leaderboard + Verified P&L Profiles The Polymarket **trader leaderboard** (by P&L or volume, per category, per time window) — plus what raw leaderboards never tell you: **is this trader actually worth following?** Enriched mode adds each trader's **live open positions, verified open P&L, cross-window consistency, and recent activity stats**, straight from Polymarket's public APIs. Built for copy-trading research, smart-money tracking, and prediction-market analytics. ### Why this one - **Leaderboards lie by omission.** A trader can top the DAY board with one lucky longshot. We check every top trader against **all four windows (DAY / WEEK / MONTH / ALL)** and report how many they rank in — one-hit wonders are obvious at a glance. - **Verified open P&L, not just the headline number.** For each enriched trader you get their current positions, portfolio value, and open P&L computed from the live positions API — every number traceable, nothing modeled. - **Copy-trading signals included:** `tradesLast7d`, `avgTradeUsd7d`, `activeLast7d`, `lastActivityAt` — know whether the trader is still active before you follow them. - **Partial-failure resilient.** One bad wallet never kills your run. - **No API keys, no wallet, no login** — public Polymarket endpoints only. ### Modes | Mode | What you get | Typical use | |---|---|---| | `leaderboard` | Raw ranked rows: rank, P&L, volume, username, wallet | Cheap bulk ranking data, dashboards | | `enriched` | Top N traders + consistency across windows + live positions/P&L + activity stats | "Who is worth copying?" research | | `profiles` | The same rich profile for explicit wallet addresses | Track specific traders over time | ### Categories & windows All 10 Polymarket categories (`OVERALL`, `POLITICS`, `SPORTS`, `CRYPTO`, `CULTURE`, `MENTIONS`, `WEATHER`, `ECONOMICS`, `TECH`, `FINANCE`) × 4 time windows (`DAY`, `WEEK`, `MONTH`, `ALL`), ranked by `PNL` or `VOL`. ### Sample output (enriched) ```json { "rank": 2, "wallet": "0x3496...", "userName": "skk1ch", "pnlUsd": 441523.58, "volumeUsd": 202503.98, "category": "OVERALL", "window": "WEEK", "windowsRanked": {"DAY": 5, "WEEK": 2, "MONTH": 11, "ALL": 40}, "consistency": "4/4 windows in top 50", "profile": { "openPositions": 12, "portfolioValueUsd": 380211.40, "openPnlUsd": 25103.22, "topPositions": [{"title": "...", "outcome": "Yes", "cashPnl": 8121.50}], "tradesLast7d": 34, "avgTradeUsd7d": 11842.10, "activeLast7d": true }, "profileUrl": "https://polymarket.com/profile/0x3496..." } ```` ### Quick start 1. Run with defaults — top 25 `OVERALL` weekly P\&L leaders. 2. Switch to `enriched` mode to vet the top 10 before following anyone. 3. Schedule it daily and diff the results to catch new names entering the boards. 4. Pipe into the **Polymarket Whale Tracker** actor (same author) to watch the wallets you picked in real time. ### Pricing Pay-per-event: cheap `leaderboard-row` events for raw rows; `trader-profile` events only for the rich enriched/profile records you actually receive. ### Use with AI agents (Claude, Cursor, n8n — MCP) This Actor works out of the box as an **MCP tool**. Point your agent at Apify's hosted MCP server and it can call the Actor directly: ```json { "mcpServers": { "apify": { "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=mrlarryjohnson/polymarket-top-traders" } } } ``` OAuth sign-in happens on first connect (or use an `Authorization: Bearer ` header). Your agent can then fetch trader leaderboards and verified P\&L profiles on demand and reason over the results — same pay-per-event pricing, no extra setup. ### FAQ - **Do I need API keys or a crypto wallet?** No — public Polymarket endpoints only. - **Where do the numbers come from?** Polymarket's own leaderboard, positions, and activity APIs — every record links to the trader's public profile page. - **Can I export CSV / Excel / JSON?** Yes — standard Apify dataset exports. - **Is this financial advice?** No. Informational data only. ### Changelog - **0.1** — initial release: leaderboard / enriched / profiles modes, cross-window consistency, live open P\&L verification. # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): leaderboard = raw ranked rows (cheap). enriched = top traders with live positions, open P\&L, cross-window consistency. profiles = the same rich profile for explicit wallet addresses. ## `category` (type: `string`): Market category to rank traders in. ## `timePeriod` (type: `string`): Ranking window for the leaderboard. ## `orderBy` (type: `string`): Rank traders by realized profit (PNL) or by trading volume (VOL). ## `limit` (type: `integer`): How many leaderboard rows to return (Polymarket caps at 50 per page; use offset to page). ## `offset` (type: `integer`): Pagination offset into the leaderboard (0-1000). ## `enrichTop` (type: `integer`): How many of the top leaderboard traders get the full profile treatment. Each enriched trader is one billable trader-profile event. ## `wallets` (type: `array`): Polymarket proxy wallet addresses (0x...) to profile. Max 50. ## `maxPositions` (type: `integer`): How many of the largest open positions to include in each trader profile. ## `activityLimit` (type: `integer`): How many recent activity rows to sample when computing trade stats (tradesLast7d, avgTradeUsd7d). ## Actor input object example ```json { "mode": "leaderboard", "category": "OVERALL", "timePeriod": "WEEK", "orderBy": "PNL", "limit": 25, "offset": 0, "enrichTop": 10, "wallets": [], "maxPositions": 10, "activityLimit": 50 } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
