## 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.

## GeckoTerminal On-Chain DEX Scraper 🦎📈

Scrape real-time **on-chain DEX data from [GeckoTerminal](https://www.geckoterminal.com/)** across **100+ blockchains** — trending pools, new pools, token prices, 24h volume, liquidity, FDV, market cap and buy/sell counts. **No API key, no login, no proxy required.** Fast, cheap and datacenter-friendly.

> Built for DeFi traders, alpha hunters, trading bots and on-chain analysts who need clean, structured pool data without babysitting a scraper.

***

### 💡 Why this actor?

- ⚡ **Fast & cheap** — hits GeckoTerminal's clean JSON:API directly. Runs on datacenter IPs (no residential proxy needed).
- 🌍 **100+ networks** — Ethereum, Solana, Base, BSC, Arbitrum, Polygon, Avalanche, and dozens more.
- 🔥 **Trending discovery** — surface hot pools per chain or globally to catch momentum early.
- 🆕 **New pool sniping** — pull freshly created pools for launch monitoring.
- 🔎 **Search** — find every pool for a token by name, symbol or contract address.
- 🧱 **Structured output** — every field normalized (numeric strings coerced to floats, timestamps to ISO-8601), all nullable.

### 💸 Pricing

Priced to **undercut** the crowd: about **$0.50 per 1,000 pools** — one of the cheapest on-chain DEX feeds on Apify. Run it every few minutes for a live dashboard and still pay pennies.

***

### 🚀 Use cases

- **DeFi trading & alpha** — monitor trending pools and volume spikes across chains.
- **Trending token discovery** — spot momentum tokens before they hit the mainstream.
- **On-chain analytics** — build dashboards of liquidity, FDV, market cap and trade flow.
- **Trading bots** — feed clean price/volume/liquidity data into automated strategies.
