🟧 BitMEX Instruments Scraper

🚀 Export every active BitMEX instrument in seconds. Pull perpetual swaps, dated futures, options, and spot pairs with last price, mark price, open interest, funding rate, 24h volume, and bid/ask depth. No API key, no signup.

The BitMEX Instruments Scraper queries the BitMEX /api/v1/instrument/active endpoint and returns one rich record per active instrument. Each record can carry up to 30+ fields, including the canonical symbol, root symbol, instrument state, instrument type (typ), underlying asset, quote and settlement currencies, expiry and listing timestamps, last price, mark price, indicative settle, open interest, open value, funding rate (with a computed daily figure), 24h volume and turnover, VWAP, high, low, prior close, percent change, top-of-book bid/ask, midprice, and a liquidity flag.

BitMEX pioneered the perpetual swap contract in 2016 and remains a central venue for crypto derivatives. This Actor classifies every record into one of perpetual, futures, spot, or other, so you can slice the dataset by structure without parsing internal type codes.

📋 What the BitMEX Scraper does

Four built-in workflows in a single run:

• 🌍 Full instrument export. Every active BitMEX instrument in one pull.
• 🟧 Type filter. Restrict to perpetual swaps, dated futures, or spot pairs.
• 💵 Quote-currency filter. Restrict to USD or USDT quoted markets.
• 📊 Server-side sort. Order by 24h volume, open interest, last price, or symbol.

Each record exposes the raw exchange fields plus a classification label and a fundingRateDaily value (per-period rate scaled to 24h), so you can drop the dataset into BI tools without further normalization.

💡 Why it matters: BitMEX is the original venue for crypto perpetual swaps and remains a key venue for institutional-grade derivatives data. Open interest, funding rate, and 24h volume on BitMEX feed every serious perp dashboard, basis-spread engine, and volatility-surface tool.

📊 Data fields

Each record includes: askPrice, bidPrice, classification, front, fundingRate, fundingRateDaily, hasLiquidity, highPrice, indicativeFundingRate, indicativeSettlePrice, lastChangePcnt, lastPrice, listing, lowPrice, markPrice, midPrice, openInterest, openValue, positionCurrency, prevPrice24h, quoteCurrency, rootSymbol, scrapedAt, settlCurrency, state, symbol, turnover24h, typ, underlying, url, volume24h, vwap. All 32 field names come from a real production run, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.
