😨 Crypto Fear and Greed Index Scraper

🚀 Export the Crypto Fear and Greed Index in seconds. Pull the daily 0-100 sentiment score plus its classification, going back to February 2018, in a single run. No sign-up, no token plumbing, no manual paging.

The Crypto Fear and Greed Index Scraper queries the alternative.me sentiment feed and returns 7 fields per day, including the 0-100 index value, the textual classification (Extreme Fear, Fear, Neutral, Greed, Extreme Greed), the source timestamp in ISO and Unix form, the time until the next update, and a scrape timestamp. The index is the most widely cited crypto-sentiment gauge, blending volatility, market momentum, social signals, dominance, and survey data into a single daily reading.

The dataset covers every day from 2018-02-01 to today (2,500+ readings as of mid-2026), plus the live current-day value. This Actor streams the chosen window as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML in under thirty seconds. Pick the last 30 days, the last year, or the entire history with one parameter.

📋 What the Crypto Fear and Greed Index Scraper does

Two run modes in a single Actor:

• 📅 Window mode. Pull the last N days (1-5000) of daily readings.
• 📜 Full history mode. Pass limit: 0 to pull every reading back to February 2018.

Each record includes the calendar date, the index value (0 = extreme fear, 100 = extreme greed), the textual classification bucket, both ISO and Unix timestamps, and the seconds until the next scheduled update.

💡 Why it matters: crypto sentiment swings drive flows. A daily 0-100 score with a 7+ year history is a rare, clean feature for trading systems, content pipelines, and macro dashboards. This Actor turns that history into a downloadable dataset in one click.

📊 Data fields

Each record includes: date, nextUpdateAt, scrapedAt, timestamp, timestampUnix, value, valueClassification. These field names come straight from the actor's dataset schema, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.
