💰 CoinGecko Cryptocurrency Scraper

🚀 Collect real-time prices, market cap, volume, supply metrics, and ATH/ATL records for 15,000+ cryptocurrencies. Filter by category, sort by market cap or volume, and export in seconds.

🕒 Last updated: 2026-04-17

CoinGecko Scraper pulls live market data for thousands of cryptocurrencies. Each record includes the current price, market cap, 24h trading volume, fully diluted valuation, circulating and max supply, all-time high and low with dates, price change percentages across six timeframes (1h, 24h, 7d, 14d, 30d, 1y), and 7-day sparkline data for charting. You can filter by category (DeFi, gaming, layer-1, stablecoins) and sort by market cap or volume.

Crypto traders use this to monitor price movements across their watchlist. DeFi builders feed it into protocol dashboards. Analysts compare performance across token categories. Portfolio tool developers pull live data without managing API keys or rate limits. If you need structured crypto market data at scale, this actor handles the collection and delivers clean, ready-to-use records.

📋 What it does

• 💰 Live market data. Current price, market cap, volume, and fully diluted valuation for each coin.
• 📈 Multi-timeframe changes. Price change percentages over 1h, 24h, 7d, 14d, 30d, and 1 year.
• 📊 Supply metrics. Circulating, total, and maximum supply for token economics analysis.
• 🏆 ATH and ATL tracking. All-time high and low prices with exact dates and distance from current price.
• 🔍 Category filtering. Narrow results to DeFi, gaming, smart contract platforms, layer-2, stablecoins, and more.

Each record represents one cryptocurrency with 30+ data points. Sparkline arrays provide 7-day price history for chart rendering right out of the box.

💡 Why it matters: Manually tracking prices and market caps across hundreds of tokens means switching between tabs and copying numbers. This actor delivers everything in a single structured dataset, updated on demand.
