Upbit Market Scraper

Upbit Market Scraper

Scrape live Upbit market data for every KRW, BTC, and USDT pair, up to a million rows per run. Each row includes last price, 24h volume, 24h change rate, and market code. No API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Upbit's official API requires an account and API key, and rate-limits you. This reads the public market ticker endpoint directly, filtered by quote currency and sorted by volume, price change, or market code, and returns each market in one fixed schema.

Who uses it	What they scrape Upbit for
Crypto traders	Which KRW pairs are moving the most in the last 24 hours

Arbitrage bots	Price and volume feeds to compare against global exchanges
Market analysts	Korean retail demand signals from KRW pair activity

What it does

This Actor collects Upbit market tickers by quote currency and returns each one as a flat row with last price, 24h volume, and 24h change rate.

• 💱 Quote currency filter: KRW, BTC, or USDT pairs, or all markets at once.
• 📊 Sorting: by 24h quote volume, 24h base volume, 24h change rate, last price, or market code.
• 🔢 Max items: cap the number of markets returned per run, from 1 to 1,000,000.
• 📦 Flat schema: every market is one row, ready for CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML export.

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

What you can do with Upbit data

📈 Track Korean retail demand.

A market analyst runs the Actor with quoteCurrency=KRW and sortBy=accTradePrice24h to see which Korean Won pairs have the highest 24h volume, then uses that list to gauge retail interest.

🔍 Find arbitrage opportunities.

A trader collects Upbit prices for BTC and USDT pairs, compares them against Binance or Coinbase, and spots gaps where the Korean premium is wide enough to trade.

🧪 Backtest trading strategies.

A quant researcher pulls a full snapshot of Upbit market stats, saves it as CSV, and feeds it into a backtesting engine to test momentum or mean-reversion signals.

📊 Monitor market breadth.

A portfolio manager runs the Actor daily with sortBy=changeRate to see how many Upbit markets are up or down, and uses that as a sentiment indicator for Korean crypto.

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

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check your quoteCurrency filter. If you set it to USDT but Upbit has no USDT pairs at the moment, you will get an empty dataset. Try leaving it empty to see all markets.

Why is the dataset smaller than maxItems?

Upbit only lists a limited number of markets, currently around 200. If you set maxItems to 1000, you will still only get the markets that exist.

Why are the prices different from the Upbit website?

The Actor reads the public API, which should match the website. Small differences can occur due to timing. If the difference is large, check that you are looking at the same market and quote currency.

Can I get order book depth?

No, this Actor only returns ticker data. For order book depth, use a different scraper or Upbit's official WebSocket API.

Why did the run fail with a timeout?

Upbit's API occasionally rate-limits or has downtime. Retry the run after a few minutes. If the problem persists, check Upbit's status page.
