Poloniex Market Tickers Scraper

Poloniex Market Tickers Scraper

Scrape live ticker data for any Poloniex spot market, or pull the full 24h list for every trading pair in one run. Each row returns last price, 24h change, high, low, and volume. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Poloniex's public API returns live market data, but building a pipeline to poll it, handle pagination, and reshape the JSON into flat rows takes time you could spend on analysis. This Actor reads the 24h ticker endpoint directly, lets you target a single symbol or filter the full list by quote currency, and delivers every match in a consistent schema.\n\nNo API key, no rate-limit management, no code.

Who uses it	What they scrape Poloniex for
Crypto traders	Monitor price and volume of a watchlist of pairs before entering a position.
Quantitative analysts	Pull the full market snapshot every hour to feed a volatility or arbitrage model.
Portfolio trackers	Update the USD or BTC value of holdings by fetching the latest ticker for each asset.
Market researchers	Compare 24h volume and price change across all USDT pairs to spot trending tokens.

What it does

This Actor collects Poloniex spot market tickers by symbol or quote currency and returns each one as a flat row with price, volume, and 24h change.

• 🎯 Single symbol mode: set one trading pair like BTC_USDT and get its current ticker.
• 📋 Full market list mode: leave the symbol empty to pull every available spot market at once.
• 💱 Quote currency filter: when pulling the full list, keep only pairs quoted in USDT, BTC, TRX, or any other base you choose.
• 🔢 Row cap: stop the run after a set number of markets, so you pay only for what you need.

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

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check that the Symbol you entered is a valid Poloniex spot pair, like BTC_USDT. If you are using Quote Currency, make sure it matches an active quote asset on the exchange. Also confirm that Maximum markets is set to at least 1.

The Actor returns fewer rows than I expected.

Poloniex may list fewer pairs than your Maximum markets value. If you set a Quote Currency filter, only pairs with that quote asset are returned. Try removing the filter to see the full list.

I set a Symbol but the Actor still returned multiple rows.

When you set a Symbol, the Actor returns exactly one row for that pair. If you see more, check that the input field is spelled correctly and that you did not accidentally leave the Symbol empty while setting a Quote Currency.

The run failed with a timeout or network error.

Poloniex's public API may occasionally be slow or unreachable. Retry the run after a minute. If the problem persists, increase the run timeout in the Actor's advanced settings.

Some fields are empty or zero in the output.

Poloniex returns null or zero for fields that have no data, such as volume for a newly listed pair with no trades yet. This is expected behavior and not an error.

FAQ

Question	Answer
Do I need a Poloniex account or API key?	No. This Actor reads the public ticker endpoint, which requires no authentication or account.
What data does each row contain?	Each row includes the trading pair symbol, last price, 24h high and low, 24h percentage change, base and quote volume, and a timestamp. The exact field list is shown in the sample output on the Actor's page.
Can I get data for one trading pair?	Yes. Set the Symbol input to a pair like BTC_USDT and the Actor returns only that ticker.
How do I get all USDT pairs?	Leave the Symbol field empty and set Quote Currency to USDT. The Actor will pull the full list and keep only pairs quoted in USDT.
How often is the data updated?	The Actor fetches a fresh snapshot from Poloniex on every run. Schedule it to run as often as you need, from once a minute to once a day.
What is the maximum number of markets I can pull?	You can set the Maximum markets field up to 1,000,000. Poloniex typically lists a few hundred spot pairs, so the default cap of 10 is only a starting point.
Can I filter by base currency instead of quote currency?	The Actor filters by quote currency only. If you need base-currency filtering, pull the full list and filter the resulting dataset in your own code or spreadsheet.
Does this include futures or margin markets?	No. This Actor reads the spot market ticker endpoint. Futures and margin markets are not included.
What output formats are supported?	You can export your dataset as CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML from the Apify storage tab.
