CryptoCompare Coin List Scraper
Scrape the full CryptoCompare coin list with symbol, name, and sort order, up to a million coins per run. No API key or login. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.
CryptoCompare's official API needs a key and rate-limits you. This reads the public coin list directly, filtered by symbol and sorted by name, symbol, or CryptoCompare's own order, and returns each match in one fixed schema.
| Who uses it | What they scrape CryptoCompare for |
|---|---|
| Crypto traders | Which coins are listed on CryptoCompare and their ticker symbols |
| Market researchers | A clean list of coin names and symbols for further analysis |
| Data engineers | A scheduled export of the CryptoCompare coin universe into a warehouse |
| App developers | A reference list of coin symbols to power a crypto app |
What it does
This Actor collects CryptoCompare coin entries by symbol filter and sort order, and returns each one as a flat row.
- 🔍 Symbol filter: return only coins whose ticker contains your text, like BTC or USD.
- 🔢 Sort control: order results by CryptoCompare's default, coin name, or symbol.
- 📦 Bulk export: pull up to 1,000,000 coins in one run and save as CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.
Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

Troubleshooting
Why am I getting no results?
Your symbol filter may be too specific. Try a shorter substring like 'BTC' instead of 'BTCUSD', or leave the filter empty to get all coins.
Why did I only get 10 coins?
Free Apify users are limited to 10 coins per run. Upgrade to a paid plan to increase maxItems up to 1,000,000.
Why is the sort order not what I expected?
Check the sortBy input. 'CryptoCompare Sort Order' is the default. Choose 'Coin Name (A-Z)' or 'Symbol (A-Z)' for alphabetical sorting.
Can I get more fields like price or market cap?
No. This Actor only returns the coin list fields: symbol, name, and sort order. For market data, use the CryptoCompare Market Data Scraper.
Why does the run fail with a timeout?
If you set maxItems very high, the run may take longer. Try a smaller maxItems or run on a higher-memory plan.
