🪙 Bitfinex Crypto Tickers Scraper

🚀 Export every Bitfinex spot and derivatives ticker in seconds. Pull live bid, ask, mid price, last price, 24h volume, and daily change for 299+ trading pairs across USD, USDT, BTC, ETH, EUR, GBP, and JPY quotes. No API key, no signup, no rate-limit headaches.

🕒 Last updated: 2026-05-13 · 📊 19 fields per record · 🪙 299+ trading pairs · 🌐 9 quote currencies

The Bitfinex Tickers Scraper queries the Bitfinex public market data API and returns 19 fields per record, including the symbol, base and quote assets, last price, bid, ask, mid price, absolute and basis-point spreads, daily change, and 24h base and quote volume. Bitfinex is one of the most liquid spot and derivatives venues in the world, and this Actor turns its raw array-based ticker feed into a clean, structured dataset.

The catalog covers all live trading pairs on the exchange, from majors like BTCUSD and ETHUSD down to long-tail altcoins, perpetual contracts, and stablecoin pairs across nine quote currencies. This Actor produces CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML output in under a minute. All filtering and sorting runs server-side, so you skip the parsing entirely.

📋 What the Bitfinex Scraper does

Four filtering workflows in a single run:

• 🌐 All-pairs snapshot. Every live trading pair on Bitfinex in one dataset.
• 💵 Quote filter. Restrict to USD, USDT (UST), USDC, BTC, ETH, EUR, GBP, or JPY pairs.
• 📈 Sort options. Order by 24h volume, daily percent change, last price, or symbol.
• 🔢 Cap with maxItems. Take the top N rows after sort, ideal for "top movers" tables.

Each record includes the canonical Bitfinex symbol, derived base and quote assets, full order-book top of book (bid, ask, sizes), spread metrics in absolute and basis points, plus daily high, daily low, and quote-converted volume.

💡 Why it matters: Bitfinex's public ticker API returns raw arrays where each index has a different meaning. Building your own pipeline means decoding ten positional fields, handling 6-character versus colon-delimited symbols, and computing spreads by hand. This Actor does all of that and ships clean records you can query immediately.

⚙️ Input

Input	Type	Default	Behavior
maxItems	integer	10	Records to return. Free plan caps at 10, paid plan at 1,000,000.
quoteAsset	string	""	One of USD, UST, USDC, BTC, ETH, EUR, GBP, JPY. Empty = all pairs.
sortBy	string	"volume"	Sort order: volume, changePercent, lastPrice, or symbol.

Example: top 25 USD pairs by 24h volume.

{
    "maxItems": 25,
    "quoteAsset": "USD",
    "sortBy": "volume"
}

Example: every pair, sorted by biggest 24h gainers.

{
    "maxItems": 100,
    "quoteAsset": "",
    "sortBy": "changePercent"
}

⚠️ Good to Know: Bitfinex symbols use a t prefix for trading pairs (e.g. tBTCUSD) and may use a colon when either asset is longer than three characters (e.g. tDOGE:USD). The Actor splits both formats automatically. Quote names like UST (Tether) and XAUT (gold) follow Bitfinex's internal convention, not the wider industry shorthand.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

🧩 How does it work?

Pick a quote asset filter, sort order, and maxItems, click Start, and the Actor calls Bitfinex's public tickers?symbols=ALL endpoint, decodes the positional array, splits each symbol into base and quote, computes mid and spread, then emits one clean record per pair.

📏 How accurate is the data?

The data is the same feed Bitfinex serves to its trading interface. Prices reflect the moment of the run. For tick-by-tick precision, schedule frequent runs or pair this Actor with a streaming feed.

🔁 How often is the dataset refreshed?

Every run pulls live tickers. Schedule a run every minute, every hour, or every day depending on your downstream need.

🛂 Do I need a Bitfinex account or API key?

No. This Actor uses only the public market-data endpoint, which requires no authentication.

🪙 Which quote currencies are supported?

USD, USDT (Bitfinex calls it UST), USDC, BTC, ETH, EUR, GBP, and JPY are all selectable as first-class filters. Leave the field empty to return every quote.

📐 What are spreadAbs and spreadBps?

spreadAbs is the absolute bid-ask spread in quote currency units. spreadBps is the same spread expressed in basis points of last price, so it's directly comparable across pairs at different price levels.

⏰ Can I schedule regular runs?

Yes. Apify Schedules supports any cron interval. A common pattern is one snapshot per minute into a time-series store.

⚖️ Is this data legal to use?

Yes. Bitfinex publishes public market data under standard exchange terms. Review their terms of service for redistribution requirements.

💼 Can I use this data commercially?

Yes. Public market data from a major exchange is widely used in commercial products. Confirm Bitfinex's API terms cover your specific use case if you plan to redistribute the raw feed.

💳 Do I need a paid Apify plan to use this Actor?

No. The free Apify plan is enough for testing and small runs (10 records per run). A paid plan lifts the limit and unlocks scheduling and higher concurrency.
