## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## CoinPaprika Crypto Scraper 🪙

Scrape **live cryptocurrency market data** from [CoinPaprika](https://coinpaprika.com) — price, market cap, 24h volume, rank, and 24h/7d percentage change — as clean, structured JSON. **No API key, no login, no browser.** The Actor talks directly to CoinPaprika's fast public JSON API, so it is datacenter-proxy friendly and cheap to run.

***

### What it does

- **Whole-market snapshot** — pull the entire ranked market (Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands more) in one run.
- **Targeted lookups** — fetch only the coins you care about by id (e.g. `btc-bitcoin`, `eth-ethereum`).
- **Clean, flat output** — one row per coin, ready for spreadsheets, dashboards, or databases.
- **Reliable** — Chrome-impersonating HTTP client with a pure-Python fallback; every field is nullable so partial data never breaks a run.

### Modes

| Mode | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `tickers` | Fetch the full ranked market, capped by `maxItems`. |
| `coins` | Fetch only the specific coin ids listed in `coinIds`. |

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `mode` | select | `tickers` | `tickers` (whole ranked market) or `coins` (specific ids). |
| `coinIds` | array | `["btc-bitcoin","eth-ethereum"]` | Coin ids for `coins` mode. |
| `maxItems` | integer | `200` (max `5000`) | Maximum coins to scrape. |

#### Example input

```json
{
  "mode": "tickers",
  "maxItems": 200
}
```

```json
{
  "mode": "coins",
  "coinIds": ["btc-bitcoin", "eth-ethereum", "sol-solana"]
}
```

### Output

Each dataset item:

```json
{
  "id": "btc-bitcoin",
  "name": "Bitcoin",
  "symbol": "BTC",
  "rank": 1,
  "price": 63915.2,
  "volume_24h": 22128708456.76,
  "market_cap": 1281999101118,
  "change_24h": 1.69,
  "change_7d": -0.4,
  "circulating_supply": 20057812,
  "max_supply": 21000000,
  "url": "https://coinpaprika.com/coin/btc-bitcoin/",
  "scraped_at": "2026-07-18T05:43:18+00:00"
}
```

### Pricing

This Actor is lightweight and runs on **512 MB**. Expect roughly **~$1 per 1,000 coins** scraped (pay-per-result equivalent) — a full 200-coin market snapshot costs pennies and finishes in seconds.

### Use cases

- **Crypto research** — snapshot the market for analysis and screening.
- **Dashboards** — feed a BI dashboard or Google Sheet with fresh prices and market caps.
- **Trading** — build signals from 24h/7d momentum and volume.
- **Portfolio tracking** — value a portfolio by pulling only the coins you hold.

### Comparison

| | CoinPaprika Scraper | Manual API scripting | Copy-paste from a website |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Setup | None — just click Run | Write & host code | Tedious, error-prone |
| Scheduling | Built-in (Apify) | DIY cron | Not possible |
| Structured export | JSON / CSV / Excel | DIY | No |
| Maintenance | Managed | You own it | N/A |

    "btc-bitcoin",
    "eth-ethereum"
  ]
}' |
apify call ninhothedev/coinpaprika-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {

        }
    }
}

```

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).
