## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Bitfinex Crypto Ticker Scraper

Scrape **live ticker data for every trading pair on Bitfinex** — last price, bid, ask, 24-hour change %, 24-hour volume, daily high and low — in a single run. Powered by the official Bitfinex public REST API, so there is **no API key, no login, and no rate-limit headaches**.

Perfect for crypto traders, market-monitoring dashboards, trading bots, and portfolio trackers that need clean, structured price data on demand.

***

### What it does

This actor calls Bitfinex's public `v2/tickers` endpoint and returns one clean record per trading pair. It automatically skips funding-market symbols and normalizes the exchange's compact positional-array format into readable JSON.

- **All trading pairs** in one run (270+ pairs).
- **Optional symbol filter** — grab just `USD`, `BTC`, `ETH` pairs, or anything else.
- **Clean, typed output** — every numeric field parsed to a float, everything nullable.
- **Fast & cheap** — a single API call, no browser, tiny memory footprint.

### Example use cases

- **Crypto trading** — pull real-time prices and spreads for order routing.
- **Market monitoring** — feed a dashboard or alert system with 24h change and volume.
- **Trading bots** — schedule the actor and stream fresh tickers into your strategy engine.
- **Portfolio tracking** — value holdings using the latest last-price per pair.

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `mode` | select | What to scrape. `tickers` returns all trading pairs. |
| `symbolFilter` | string | Optional case-insensitive substring filter on the pair symbol, e.g. `USD`. Leave empty for all pairs. |
| `maxItems` | integer | Max records to store. Default `500`, max `5000`. |

#### Example input

```json
{
  "mode": "tickers",
  "symbolFilter": "USD",
  "maxItems": 500
}
```

```json

  "symbol": "BTCUSD",
  "last_price": 63947.0,
  "bid": 63949.0,

| `last_price` | Last traded price. |
| `bid` / `ask` | Best bid / best ask. |
| `daily_change` | Absolute 24h price change. |
| `change_pct_24h` | 24h change in percent, rounded to 2 decimals. |

### Pricing

Runs are cheap — a single lightweight API call. Expect roughly **~$0.50 per 1,000 runs** on the Apify platform depending on your plan. Schedule it as often as you need for near-real-time data.

### FAQ

**Do I need a Bitfinex API key?** No. This uses the public market-data endpoint only.

**How fresh is the data?** It reflects Bitfinex's live ticker at the moment of the run.

**Can I get a single pair?** Yes — set `symbolFilter` to the exact symbol, e.g. `BTCUSD`.

**Is funding-market data included?** No, only trading pairs are returned.

What to scrape. Currently 'tickers' returns every Bitfinex trading pair with its live price, 24h change, and volume.

## `symbolFilter` (type: `string`):

Optional case-insensitive substring filter on the pair symbol. For example 'USD' returns only USD-quoted pairs, 'BTC' returns pairs that contain BTC. Leave empty to return all trading pairs.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of ticker records to store in the dataset. Default 500, maximum 5000.

## Actor input object example

```json

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call ninhothedev/bitfinex-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,ninhothedev/bitfinex-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
