## Pricing

Pay per usage

This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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 Whale Transaction Tracker

Track large cryptocurrency transfers (whale movements) across **Solana** and **Ethereum** blockchains. Monitor transactions from known exchange wallets, institutional addresses, and large holders in real-time.

### Features

- **Dual-chain support:** Solana and Ethereum whale tracking
- **USD value filtering:** Only return transactions above your threshold
- **Real-time prices:** Fetches current SOL and ETH prices from CoinGecko
- **Known whale wallets:** Pre-curated list of exchange and institutional addresses (Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, Wintermute, Jump Trading, and more)
- **Structured output:** Every transaction includes token, amount, USD value, from/to addresses, and timestamp
- **No API keys needed** — uses public Solana RPC and Etherscan free tier

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `chain` | select | `solana` | Blockchain: `solana`, `ethereum`, or `all` |
| `min_value_usd` | integer | `100000` | Minimum USD value threshold |
| `limit` | integer | `50` | Max transactions to return (1-500) |
| `lookback_hours` | integer | `24` | How far back to look |

### Sample Input

```json
{
  "chain": "all",
  "min_value_usd": 500000,
  "limit": 25,
  "lookback_hours": 24
}
````

### Output

```json
{
  "chain": "solana",
  "wallet": "9WzDXwBbmkg8ZTbNMqUxvQRAyrZzDsGYdLVL9zYtAWWM",
  "tx_hash": "5xK...",
  "token": "SOL",
  "amount": 5000.0,
  "amount_usd": 750000.00,
  "from_address": "9WzDXwBb...",
  "to_address": "GjwqQ6z8...",
  "timestamp": "2026-07-14T20:00:00Z",
  "block_time": 1784071239,
  "scraped_at": "2026-07-14T20:05:00Z"
}
```

### Tracked Wallets

The actor monitors a curated list of publicly known whale wallets:

**Solana:** Binance hot/cold wallets, FTX/Alameda, Coinbase, Wintermute, Jump Trading
**Ethereum:** Binance (14, 15), Coinbase, Bitfinex, Gemini, Kraken, Wintermute, Jump Trading

### Use Cases

- **Trading signals:** Detect large movements that may impact prices
- **Market research:** Track institutional flow patterns
- **Risk management:** Monitor exchange inflows/outflows
- **Alpha generation:** Front-run whale movements
- **Data feeds:** Power trading bots and alert systems

### Pricing

Pay-per-result: **$0.50 per 1,000 whale transactions**

### Limitations

- Solana: Uses public RPC (may rate-limit on high frequency)
- Ethereum: Uses Etherscan free tier (5 req/sec)
- Whale wallet list is updated quarterly
- Only tracks native tokens (SOL, ETH) — ERC-20/SPL token support coming soon

# Actor input Schema

## `chain` (type: `string`):

Which blockchain to scan for whale transactions

## `min_value_usd` (type: `integer`):

Only return transactions worth at least this many USD

## `limit` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of whale transactions to return

## `lookback_hours` (type: `integer`):

How far back to look for transactions

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "chain": "solana",
  "min_value_usd": 100000,
  "limit": 50,
  "lookback_hours": 24
}
```

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("outofboundslab/crypto-whale-tx-tracker").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("outofboundslab/crypto-whale-tx-tracker").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print("💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/" + run["defaultDatasetId"])
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
