## 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

## Crypto Prices — Live Cryptocurrency Market Data (CoinGecko)

**Get live cryptocurrency prices and market data as clean JSON.** Ask for specific coins (like `bitcoin`, `ETH`, `Solana`) or the **top N by market cap**, and get back a tidy row per coin: price, market cap, rank, 24h volume, 1h/24h/7d price change, circulating/total/max supply, all-time high/low and more. Powered by CoinGecko — no API key, no anti-bot.

> AI-agent ready: this Actor is callable and payable by AI agents via [x402](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/x402) (USDC on Base), no Apify account required.

A fast, affordable crypto price API for dashboards, bots, research and alerts.

### Who uses this

- 📈 **Traders & analysts** — track prices, market caps and momentum across coins.
- 🤖 **Bots & dashboards** — feed live market data into your app on a schedule.
- 💼 **Portfolio & fintech tools** — value holdings and monitor movements.
- 📊 **Researchers** — build historical datasets by running on a schedule.
- 🧑‍💻 **Developers** — a clean crypto price endpoint by coin or top-N.

### What you get — one clean row per coin

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `name` + `symbol` + `id` | Coin identity |
| `price` + `vsCurrency` | Current price in your quote currency |
| `marketCap` + `marketCapRank` | Market cap & rank |
| `fullyDilutedValuation` | FDV |
| `circulatingSupply` + `totalSupply` + `maxSupply` | Supply metrics |
| `ath` + `athDate` / `atl` + `atlDate` | All-time high / low |
| `image` | Coin logo URL |
| `lastUpdated`, `scrapedAt` | Freshness & provenance |

### Example

**Input**
```json
{ "coins": ["bitcoin", "ethereum", "SOL"], "vsCurrency": "usd" }
````

*(or leave `coins` empty and set `topN` to fetch the top coins by market cap)*

**Output (one item)**

```json
{
  "id": "bitcoin", "symbol": "btc", "name": "Bitcoin",
  "price": 68250.42, "vsCurrency": "usd",
  "marketCap": 1348000000000, "marketCapRank": 1,
  "ath": 73738, "athDate": "2024-03-14T07:10:36.635Z",
  "circulatingSupply": 19750000, "maxSupply": 21000000
}
```

### Why this actor

- ✅ **Live data** — straight from CoinGecko on every run.
- 🎯 **Specific coins *or* top-N** — by id, symbol or name, or the top market caps.
- 💱 **Any quote currency** — USD, EUR, GBP, BTC and more.
- 📊 **Rich metrics** — market cap, rank, supply, ATH/ATL, FDV.
- ⚡ **Fast & affordable** — pay only per coin returned. No key, no anti-bot.

### Input options

- `coins` — specific coins by id, symbol or name (e.g. `bitcoin`, `ETH`, `Solana`). Leave empty for top-N.
- `topN` — when no coins given, how many top coins by market cap (default 100).
- `vsCurrency` — quote currency (default `usd`).

### FAQ

**Specific coins or the whole market?** Both — pass `coins`, or leave it empty and set `topN` for the top coins by market cap.

**Which currencies?** Any CoinGecko-supported quote currency — `usd`, `eur`, `gbp`, `btc`, etc.

**How do I refer to a coin?** By CoinGecko id (`bitcoin`), symbol (`btc`/`ETH`), or name (`Solana`) — all resolve.

**How fresh is the data?** Live from CoinGecko on every run.

**Can I export to CSV/Excel/Google Sheets?** Yes — the dataset exports to JSON, CSV, Excel and HTML, or pull it via the API.

**What does it cost?** Pay-per-coin — you're only charged for coins actually returned.

*Tip: schedule this hourly on your watchlist and store the results to build your own price-history dataset.*
