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). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ![ParseForge Banner](https://github.com/ParseForge/apify-assets/blob/ad35ccc13ddd068b9d6cba33f323962e39aed5b2/banner.jpg?raw=true) ## ๐ŸŽฏ dYdX v4 Perpetual Markets Scraper > ๐Ÿš€ **Export dYdX v4 perpetual market data in seconds, including oracle price, 24h volume, open interest, and next funding rate, straight from the public indexer.dydx.trade endpoint.** > ๐Ÿ•’ **Last updated:** 2026-05-29 ยท **๐Ÿ“Š 8 fields** per record ยท 60+ perp markets ยท Cosmos-based on-chain DEX The dYdX Markets Scraper turns the dYdX v4 indexer into a clean dataset. It hits `/v4/perpetualMarkets`, iterates every active market, and emits one row per ticker with the oracle price, 24h move, 24h notional volume, open interest, and the next predicted funding rate. dYdX v4 runs on its own Cosmos app-chain, with funding paid every hour. The indexer is fully public, no key required. | ๐ŸŽฏ Target Audience | ๐Ÿ’ก Primary Use Cases | |---|---| | ๐Ÿ“Š Crypto quant teams | Real-time perp screener | | ๐Ÿ’ฑ Basis traders | Compare dYdX funding vs CEX | | ๐Ÿข On-chain analytics | DEX volume dashboards | | ๐Ÿค– ML researchers | Market microstructure datasets | | ๐Ÿ“ฐ Crypto journalists | Snapshot DEX state | | ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ’ป DeFi developers | Mirror dYdX data locally | ### ๐Ÿ“‹ What the dYdX Markets Scraper does - Calls `https://indexer.dydx.trade/v4/perpetualMarkets`. - Iterates every market keyed by ticker. - Casts numeric strings to numbers. - Optionally filters to a list of tickers. - Exports as CSV, Excel, JSON, JSONL, XML, RSS, or HTML. > ๐Ÿ’ก **Why it matters:** dYdX is the largest Cosmos-based perp DEX. Its indexer is fully public but returns string-typed numbers; this actor normalizes them. ### ๐ŸŽฌ Full Demo _๐Ÿšง Coming soon._ ### โš™๏ธ Input
