## 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).

## 🌳 Carbonmark Carbon Credits Scraper

> 🚀 **Export Carbonmark tokenized carbon credit projects in seconds. Registry, methodology, vintage, price, supply, country, and category direct from the public Carbonmark API.**

> 🕒 **Last updated:** 2026-06-05 · **📊 12 fields** per record · All major registries · Tokenized voluntary carbon market

The Carbonmark Carbon Credits Scraper turns the public Carbonmark API into a structured dataset of tokenized carbon credit projects. It returns one row per project with registry, methodology, vintage year, current price, available supply, country, and category.

Coverage spans Verra, Gold Standard, American Carbon Registry, Climate Action Reserve, and Puro across all available vintages.

| 🎯 Target Audience | 💡 Primary Use Cases |
|---|---|
| 🌳 ESG analysts | Track voluntary carbon market prices by vintage |
| 🏢 Sustainability teams | Source credits for retirement |
| 🤖 Quants | Build VCM price indices |
| 📊 Researchers | Map registry market share |
| 👩‍💻 Developers | Mirror VCM data into a warehouse |

### 📋 What the Carbonmark Carbon Credits Scraper does

- Calls the public Carbonmark projects endpoint.
- Returns one normalized row per project.
- Optional filters by country, category, registry, and minimum vintage.
- Exports as CSV, Excel, JSON, JSONL, XML, RSS, or HTML.

> 💡 **Why it matters:** Voluntary carbon market data is scattered across registries with inconsistent formats. Carbonmark aggregates tokenized credits in one place and this actor flattens that aggregation into a usable dataset.

### ⚙️ Input

<table>
<tr><th>Field</th><th>Type</th><th>Required</th><th>Description</th></tr>
<tr><td><code>maxItems</code></td><td>integer</td><td>No</td><td>Free users 10. Paid users up to 1,000,000.</td></tr>
<tr><td><code>country</code></td><td>string</td><td>No</td><td>Optional country filter (partial match).</td></tr>
<tr><td><code>category</code></td><td>string</td><td>No</td><td>Optional category filter (partial match).</td></tr>
<tr><td><code>registry</code></td><td>enum</td><td>No</td><td>VCS, GS, ACR, CAR, PURO.</td></tr>
<tr><td><code>minVintage</code></td><td>integer</td><td>No</td><td>Earliest vintage year.</td></tr>
</table>

**Example 1, Verra vintage 2020 plus:**
```json
{ "registry": "VCS", "minVintage": 2020, "maxItems": 50 }
````

**Example 2, Brazil forestry projects:**

```json
{ "country": "Brazil", "category": "forestry", "maxItems": 25 }
```

> ⚠️ **Good to Know:** Prices change with on-chain liquidity. Vintage year reflects when emissions were reduced, not when the credit was tokenized.
