## What's an Apify Actor?

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.

# README

## Cryptocurrency Market Scanner

Aggregate real-time cryptocurrency market data from CoinGecko in a single API call. Track prices, volumes, market caps, and historical metrics for multiple coins simultaneously.

### Features

- **Multi-Coin Support**: Scan up to 250 coins in a single run
- **Real-Time Data**: Current prices, 24h changes, volume, market cap
- **Historical Context**: All-time high prices and current distance from ATH
- **Multiple Currencies**: USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, KRW support
- **Resilient**: Exponential backoff retry on API failures
- **Pay-Per-Event**: Only $0.02 per coin scanned (no subscription)

### Input

```json
{
  "coinIds": ["bitcoin", "ethereum", "cardano"],
  "currency": "usd"
}
````

#### Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
| `coinIds` | array | `["bitcoin"]` | CoinGecko coin IDs to scan |
| `currency` | string | `"usd"` | Target currency (usd, eur, gbp, jpy, krw) |

### Output

Array of cryptocurrency market data objects:

```json
[
  {
    "coinId": "bitcoin",
    "name": "Bitcoin",
    "symbol": "BTC",
    "currentPrice": 43250.50,
    "priceChange24hPercent": 2.15,
    "volume24h": 28500000000,
    "marketCap": 850000000000,
    "marketCapRank": 1,
    "ath": 69000,
    "athChangePercent": -37.25,
    "lastUpdated": "2026-03-31T12:00:00.000Z"
  },
  {
    "coinId": "ethereum",
    "name": "Ethereum",
    "symbol": "ETH",
    "currentPrice": 2340.75,
    "priceChange24hPercent": 1.88,
    "volume24h": 15200000000,

    "athChangePercent": -52.15,
    "lastUpdated": "2026-03-31T12:00:00.000Z"
  }
]
```

### Pricing

**Pay-Per-Event Model**: $0.02 per cryptocurrency scanned

- Scan 1 coin = $0.02
- Scan 10 coins = $0.20
- Scan 100 coins = $2.00

No subscription required. Only charged on successful completion.

### Use Cases

- **Market Intelligence**: Track top cryptocurrencies in real-time
- **Investment Analysis**: Monitor price movements and volatility
- **Risk Assessment**: Identify high-volatility assets
- **Portfolio Tracking**: Multi-coin consolidated data fetching
- **Automated Alerts**: Feed into monitoring/alerting systems

### Example: Top 5 Cryptocurrencies by Market Cap

```json
{
  "coinIds": [
    "bitcoin",
    "ethereum",
    "tether",
    "bnb",
    "solana"
  ],
  "currency": "usd"
