💱 Crypto & Fiat Exchange Rates Scraper

🚀 Export the live global currency rate board in seconds. Pull 150+ crypto, fiat, and commodity rates all denominated against Bitcoin, in one clean dataset. No API key, no registration, no parser engineering.

🕒 Last updated: 2026-05-22 · 📊 8 fields per record · 💱 150+ currencies · 🌍 every major fiat & crypto · 🔁 live per run

The Crypto & Fiat Exchange Rates Scraper exports the global currency rate board and returns 150+ live rates, including major fiat currencies (USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, CNY, INR), top crypto (BTC, ETH, BNB, XRP, SOL), and commodity reference units (gold, silver). Every rate is denominated in Bitcoin so you can re-derive any cross-pair in one division. Records arrive as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML in under five seconds.

Coverage spans the full fiat board, the top tradeable crypto tokens, and metal commodity references, all from the same trusted global market data feed. Filter by category (crypto, fiat, commodity) or pass a specific list of currency IDs. All filters run on the source side, so you skip the parser engineering entirely.

🎯 Target Audience	💡 Primary Use Cases
Forex and crypto traders, accounting and finance tools, fintech apps, treasury teams, e-commerce platforms, indie devs	Daily rate snapshots, multi-currency pricing displays, treasury reporting, crypto-to-fiat conversion widgets, accounting reconciliation, dashboard tickers

📋 What the Rates Scraper does

Three filtering workflows in a single run:

• 💵 Full board. Every supported currency and commodity in one pull.
• 🪙 Crypto only. Filter to crypto tokens (BTC, ETH, BNB, XRP, SOL, and more).
• 💷 Fiat only. Filter to fiat currencies across 150+ central banks.
• 🥇 Commodity only. Gold and silver reference rates.
• 🎯 Specific IDs. Pass an explicit list (e.g. ["btc", "eth", "usd", "eur"]) and only those rates are returned.

Each record carries id, name, unit, value (denominated in 1 BTC), type, base, and a scrapedAt timestamp. Use the BTC base as a hub: divide any two rates to derive any cross-pair.

💡 Why it matters: accurate, fresh currency rates power treasury, payments, accounting, and trading workflows. Building your own pipeline means juggling multiple data providers, handling crypto and fiat separately, and refreshing constantly. This Actor returns one clean board on every run.

⚙️ Input

Input	Type	Default	Behavior
maxItems	integer	10	Records to return. Free plan caps at 10, paid plan at 1,000,000.
rateType	string	"all"	One of: all, crypto, fiat, commodity.
currencyIds	array	[]	Optional list of currency IDs (e.g. btc, eth, usd, eur). When supplied, overrides rateType.

Example: full board for treasury reporting.

{
    "maxItems": 200,
    "rateType": "all"
}

Example: only USD, EUR, BTC, and ETH for a pricing widget.

{
    "maxItems": 4,
    "currencyIds": ["usd", "eur", "btc", "eth"]
}

⚠️ Good to Know: every value in the dataset is expressed as "how many of this currency equals 1 BTC". Need USD-to-EUR? Divide the USD rate by the EUR rate. For best accuracy, treat the feed as a reference snapshot, not a tradeable quote. For execution-grade pricing, layer in a live order book from your venue of choice.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

🧩 How does it work?

Pick a rate type, optionally pass a list of currency IDs, click Start, and the Actor returns one clean record per currency. No browser automation, no captchas, no setup.

💱 What's the base currency?

Every rate is denominated in Bitcoin. The value field tells you how many units of the currency equal 1 BTC. To get USD-to-EUR, divide value for USD by value for EUR.

🪙 What currencies are supported?

150+ in total: the full major fiat board (USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, CNY, INR, BRL, AUD, CAD, CHF and 140+ more), top crypto tokens (BTC, ETH, BNB, XRP, SOL, DOT, ADA, DOGE, AVAX), and metal commodities (gold, silver).

🔁 How fresh are the rates?

The source updates the board continuously. Every run pulls the latest snapshot, so the dataset reflects current market levels at the moment of the run.

⏰ Can I schedule regular runs?

Yes. Use Apify Schedules to trigger this Actor on any cron interval. Common patterns: every minute for live tickers, every hour for treasury, or end-of-day for accounting snapshots.

🎯 Can I get only specific currencies?

Yes. Pass currencyIds as an array (e.g. ["usd", "eur", "btc", "eth"]) and the Actor returns only those rates. The filter is exact-match on the currency ID.

🥇 Are commodities included?

Yes. Set rateType: "commodity" to get gold and silver reference rates (denominated in 1 BTC per ounce).

💳 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 gives you access to scheduling, higher concurrency, and larger pulls.

🔁 What happens if a run fails or gets interrupted?

Apify automatically retries transient errors. If a run still fails, inspect the log in the Runs tab, fix the input, and re-run. Partial datasets from failed runs are preserved so you never lose progress.

⚖️ Is this data safe to use for production?

The rates are reference-grade and suitable for analytics, reporting, treasury, and indicative display. For execution-grade pricing (placing live orders), layer in a live order book from your venue of choice.
