## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

### Lido Staking Stats Scraper

**Scrape live Lido staking statistics including stETH APR, total ETH staked, and validator counts.** Every record comes with current APR, 7-day moving average, and protocol-level metrics. No wallet connection or API key required. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Lido's on-chain data is scattered across smart contracts, guide chain endpoints, and governance dashboards. This scraper pulls the key staking metrics into one flat dataset so you can track stETH performance, total value locked, and validator growth without writing a single Solidity query. It reads the public protocol stats directly and returns each snapshot as a structured row.

| Who uses it | What they scrape Lido for |
|---|---|
| DeFi analysts | Monitoring stETH APR trends to time liquid staking deposits |
| Crypto fund managers | Tracking total ETH staked on Lido for market share reports |
| Validator operators | Comparing Lido validator counts against solo staking economics |
| Staking dashboard builders | Feeding live Lido metrics into portfolio tracking apps |

### What it does

This Actor collects live Lido staking statistics including stETH APR, total ETH staked, and validator counts, and returns each snapshot as a flat row.

- 📈 **Live APR tracking:** current stETH annual percentage rate plus the 7-day smoothed moving average.
- 🔢 **Protocol-level metrics:** total ETH staked, active validator count, and market share data.
- 📊 **Flat row output:** every snapshot lands as one row, ready for time-series analysis in any spreadsheet.
- ⚡ **No authentication:** reads public protocol endpoints, no wallet connect or RPC endpoint needed.

Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

### What you can do with Lido data

**📈 Monitor stETH yield trends.**

A DeFi analyst runs the scraper daily to plot stETH APR against money market rates and decide when to allocate stablecoins into liquid staking.

**🏦 Track Lido market dominance.**

A research firm collects total ETH staked snapshots weekly to update their Ethereum staking market share dashboard for institutional clients.

**🔔 Feed staking dashboards.**

A frontend developer schedules the Actor every hour to populate a public staking stats widget with live Lido protocol metrics.

**📊 Build historical datasets.**

A data scientist pulls one million records to backtest correlations between stETH APR, gas prices, and ETH price action over the past year.

### Why choose this scraper

| | What you get |
|---|---|
| **stETH APR** | Current annual percentage rate for Lido staked ETH |
| **Total ETH staked** | Aggregate ETH locked in the Lido protocol |
| **Validator count** | Number of active Lido node operators |
| **7-day SMA** | Smoothed APR trend over the trailing week |

### How it compares

This Actor focuses exclusively on Lido protocol metrics, while the ETH Staking Tracker covers multiple staking providers in one tool.

| Feature | ParseForge | ETH Staking Tracker (Lido + RocketPool + Guide Chain) |
|---|---|---|
| Lido stETH APR (current) | Yes | Yes |
| Lido stETH APR (7-day SMA) | Yes | Yes |
| Total ETH staked on Lido | Yes | Not listed |
| Lido validator count | Yes | Not listed |
| Rocket Pool rETH APR | Not listed | Yes |
| Guide Chain APR | Not listed | Yes |
| Telegram alerts on APR changes | Not listed | Yes |

### Configure the run

Drive the Actor by setting a maximum number of staking records to collect, from a quick 10-row preview up to one million snapshots for historical tracking. The Input tab lists every parameter.

A first run with the defaults:

```json
{
 "maxItems": 10
}
```

A larger pull:

```json
{
 "maxItems": 200
}
```

### Pricing

Pay-per-result: **$0.0018 per result** collected. You pay only for the results written to your dataset.

| Results collected | Approximate cost |

| 100 results | $0.18 |
| 1,000 results | $1.80 |
| 10,000 results | $18.00 |

New Apify accounts start with $5 in free credit.

### Free users

Free-plan runs return up to 10 results as a preview. [Upgrade your Apify plan](https://console.apify.com/sign-up?fpr=vmoqkp) to collect up to 1,000,000 results per run.

### Run it

1. [Create a free Apify account with $5 in credit](https://console.apify.com/sign-up?fpr=vmoqkp).
2. Open the [Lido Staking Stats Scraper](https://apify.com/parseforge/lido-staking-stats-scraper?fpr=vmoqkp).
3. Set your inputs and any filters, then click **Start**.
4. Export the results as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML from the **Dataset** tab.

Run it programmatically through the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2) (`run-sync-get-dataset-items`) or the [ApifyClient](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js) for JavaScript and Python.

### Use with AI agents (MCP)

Give an AI agent live access to Lido through the Model Context Protocol. Add the Actor to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=parseforge/lido-staking-stats-scraper"
```

Then prompt it in plain language to run the scraper and read back the results.

### Troubleshooting

**Why am I getting no results?**

Check that your maxItems is set to at least 1. If the Lido public endpoints are temporarily unreachable, wait a few minutes and retry the run.

**Why does the run stop before reaching my maxItems limit?**

Free Apify accounts are capped at 10 records. Upgrade to a paid plan to collect up to the full one million records you configured.

**The APR values look different from the Lido website.**

The Actor pulls from Lido's on-chain data endpoints. Slight differences can occur due to timing. The Lido frontend may apply additional smoothing or display a different averaging window.

**Why did my scheduled run fail?**

Check the run log in Apify for error details. Common causes include temporary endpoint downtime or hitting your account's concurrent run limit. Retry manually to confirm.

**Can I get historical APR data from before today?**

This Actor collects live snapshots only. To build historical data, schedule recurring runs starting now and accumulate records over time in a named dataset.

### FAQ
