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/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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 ## Kraken Crypto Ticker Scraper 🐙📈 Scrape **live Kraken ticker data** for any crypto trading pair — **price, bid/ask spread, 24h volume, VWAP, 24h high/low, open price and 24h change %** — as clean, structured JSON. No API key, no login, datacenter-proxy friendly, and fast. Perfect for **crypto trading bots, price monitoring, portfolio tracking and market dashboards**. --- ### ✨ What it does Give it a list of Kraken pairs (e.g. `XBTUSD`, `ETHUSD`, `SOLUSD`) and it returns one clean ticker snapshot per pair, straight from Kraken's official public API. Leave the pair list empty and it scrapes **every tradable pair** on the exchange (capped by *Max items*). Kraken renames pairs internally (`XBTUSD` → `XXBTZUSD`), so the scraper maps results by Kraken's normalized keys — you always get the exact market Kraken matched. ### 💡 Use cases - **Crypto trading bots** — feed live bid/ask and last price into automated strategies. - **Price monitoring & alerts** — poll pairs on a schedule and trigger notifications on moves. - **Trading bots & signals** — build spread, VWAP and momentum signals. - **Portfolio tracking** — value holdings with real-time market prices. ### 🔧 Input | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `mode` | select | Scraping mode. Currently `ticker` (live market snapshot per pair). | | `pairs` | array | Kraken pairs to scrape, e.g. `XBTUSD`, `ETHUSD`, `SOLUSD`. Empty = **all** tradable pairs. | | `maxItems` | integer | Max ticker items to return (default `500`, max `5000`). | #### Example input ```json { "mode": "ticker", "pairs": ["XBTUSD", "ETHUSD", "SOLUSD"], "maxItems": 500 } ```` ### 📤 Output One dataset item per pair: ```json { "pair": "XXBTZUSD", "ask": 65310.4, "bid": 65310.3, "last_price": 65310.4, "volume_24h": 2073.71806112, "vwap_24h": 64825.9822, "trades_24h": 64665, "low_24h": 63691.6, "high_24h": 65757.0, "open_price": 64678.1, "change_pct": 0.98, "source": "kraken", "scraped_at": "2026-07-20T21:00:00+00:00" } ``` All numeric fields are coerced to numbers and every field is nullable — a partial upstream payload still yields a usable item. ### 💰 Pricing Pay-as-you-go, roughly **~$0.50 per 1,000 ticker items** in platform usage. A single run can pull the entire Kraken market in seconds. Cheap enough to poll on a tight schedule. ### 🔗 Related actors - [CoinGecko Crypto Scraper](https://apify.com/ninhothedev/coingecko-crypto-scraper) - [Binance Crypto Scraper](https://apify.com/ninhothedev/binance-crypto-scraper) - [DexScreener Scraper](https://apify.com/ninhothedev/dexscreener-scraper) - [KuCoin Scraper](https://apify.com/ninhothedev/kucoin-scraper) ### ❓ FAQ **Do I need a Kraken API key?** No. It uses Kraken's public REST endpoints. **Which pairs are supported?** Every pair Kraken lists. Use Kraken names (`XBTUSD` for Bitcoin/USD). Leave `pairs` empty to fetch them all. **How fresh is the data?** Real-time — each item is a live snapshot with a `scraped_at` timestamp. *** **Keywords:** kraken scraper, crypto ticker, bitcoin price api, ethereum price, crypto market data, bid ask spread, 24h volume, crypto trading bot, price monitoring, portfolio tracker, cryptocurrency scraper, kraken api no key. # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): Scraping mode. 'ticker' fetches a live market snapshot (price, bid/ask, 24h volume, high/low) for each requested trading pair. ## `pairs` (type: `array`): Kraken trading pairs to scrape, e.g. XBTUSD, ETHUSD, SOLUSD. Kraken auto-normalizes names (XBTUSD becomes XXBTZUSD). Leave empty to fetch ALL tradable pairs (large, capped by Max items). ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of ticker items to return (one item per pair). Protects against huge runs when scraping all pairs. ## Actor input object example ```json { "mode": "ticker", "pairs": [ "XBTUSD", "ETHUSD", "SOLUSD" ], "maxItems": 500 } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
