Crypto Token Scanner - Analysis, Safety & Smart Money

Scan, grade, and audit any cryptocurrency token in seconds using 5 specialized analysis modes — from technical buy/sell signals to smart contract scam detection. Built for traders, researchers, and developers who need structured, actionable crypto data without signing up for paid APIs or managing API keys. No API key required.

What does Crypto Token Scanner do?

Crypto Token Scanner is an all-in-one token intelligence tool that combines five distinct analysis modes into a single, consistent interface. Whether you need RSI-based trading signals for Bitcoin, a honeypot check on an unknown ERC-20 contract, a letter-graded investment scorecard, a view of trending DEX pairs, or a snapshot of whale-boosted tokens — this Actor handles it with a single run.

Each mode pulls from purpose-built data sources: CoinGecko for price and market data, DexScreener for real-time DEX activity, GoPlus Labs and RugCheck for on-chain security audits, and Alternative.me for market sentiment. The output is always structured JSON, ready for downstream automation, alerts, or storage in your own pipeline.

Key features

• Five analysis modes in one Actor: technical analysis, safety check, token analysis, market signals, and smart money tracking
• Technical analysis produces actionable signals — STRONG BUY, BUY, HOLD, SELL, STRONG SELL — based on RSI, StochRSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, EMA crossovers, and Pivot Points
• Safety check audits EVM and Solana contracts for honeypots, rug pull indicators, high buy/sell taxes, mintable supply, and ownership renouncement status
• Token analysis generates A+ to F letter grades using a 100-point scoring system that combines price action, sentiment, volume, and DEX liquidity
• Market signals mode surfaces top DEX pairs by volume, trending boosted tokens, newest pairs, and best yield opportunities across all chains
• Smart money mode tracks whale-boosted tokens on DexScreener and cross-checks each one against GoPlus Labs and RugCheck safety audits
• Supports 20+ major tokens by symbol, any CoinGecko-listed token by ID, and any contract address (EVM 0x or Solana base58)
• Covers 6 chains: Ethereum, BSC, Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, and Solana
• All data sources are free public APIs — no API key, no subscription, no setup required

Use cases

• Crypto traders: Run technical analysis on any token before entering a position, getting a quantified signal instead of guessing from charts
• DeFi investors: Grade tokens with the full token analysis mode before allocating capital — catch red flags like low liquidity, poor sentiment, or bearish technicals in a single score
• Security researchers: Audit any ERC-20 or Solana contract for honeypot traps, rug pull vectors, or dangerous ownership configurations before interacting with the contract
• Alpha hunters: Monitor DEX trending pairs and whale-boosted tokens in real time to identify new opportunities before they reach mainstream awareness
• Data engineers and quant developers: Pull structured market data at scale via the Apify API for backtesting, dashboards, alerting systems, or portfolio automation workflows

How to use Crypto Token Scanner

1. Configure input — Select a mode (technical_analysis, safety_check, token_analysis, market_signals, or smart_money) and enter the token symbol, CoinGecko ID, or contract address. The smart_money mode requires no token input.
2. Run the Actor — Click "Start" in Apify Console or call via the Apify API for programmatic access and automation
3. Get structured results — Output is pushed to the Apify dataset as structured JSON. Download directly, connect to Zapier or Make, or retrieve via the REST API

FAQ

Is an API key required?

No. All five data sources used by this Actor are free, public APIs that require no authentication or registration. You can run the Actor immediately after creating an Apify account.

Which chains are supported for safety checks?

The safety_check mode supports Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain (BSC), Base, Polygon, Arbitrum (all via GoPlus Labs), and Solana (via RugCheck). Pass either a contract address or a token symbol and the Actor will resolve the chain automatically.

Can I scan tokens not listed on CoinGecko?

Yes. For the safety_check and market_signals modes, you can pass a raw contract address (EVM 0x... or Solana base58) directly. CoinGecko is only required for price-based modes like technical_analysis and token_analysis.

How current is the data?

All data is fetched live on each run. There is no cache layer — every scan reflects the latest available data from the underlying APIs at the time of execution.

Limitations

• Free API rate limits apply to all data sources; running many scans in rapid succession may result in slower responses or temporary throttling
• The technical_analysis mode requires sufficient historical OHLCV data from CoinGecko, which may not be available for very new or obscure tokens
• Safety grades (SAFE / CAUTION / DANGER / SCAM) are heuristic classifications based on on-chain metadata, not formal security audits
• Token letter grades and buy/sell signals are data-driven outputs, not financial advice
• DexScreener coverage varies by chain; very new DEX pairs may not appear immediately in market_signals results
