Kraken Crypto Exchange Scraper

Kraken Crypto Exchange Scraper

Scrape Kraken crypto exchange tickers for any trading pair, up to a million per run. Get last price, 24h volume, and pair data in a flat row. No API key or login. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Kraken's official API needs an account, API keys, and rate limits you. This reads the public ticker feed directly, filtered by trading pair and sorted by volume or price, and returns each match in one fixed schema.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check that the pairs you specified exist on Kraken. If pairs is empty, ensure maxItems is set high enough to include tickers.

Why is my run slow?

Scraping many pairs can take time. Reduce maxItems or specify fewer pairs to speed up the run.

Why are some fields empty?

Some tickers may not have all fields populated. Check the Kraken feed for the specific pair to see available data.

Can I get historical data?

This Actor provides current ticker data only. For historical data, consider scheduling regular runs and storing snapshots.

Why did my run fail?

Check the Actor log for errors. Common issues include network problems or invalid input values.
