## What's an Apify Actor?

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.

## CoinGecko Scraper — Crypto Market Data

**Full crypto market data from CoinGecko in one keyless actor** — price, market-cap rank, volume, 24h/7d/30d change, all-time high/low, circulating/total/max supply, and optional daily price history. For the top coins, specific coin ids, or a whole category. Priced in any fiat or crypto currency.

For portfolio trackers, dashboards, trading bots, research and crypto apps.

### What you get

Per coin:

- **Identity** — `id`, `symbol`, `name`, `image`, CoinGecko `url`
- **Market** — `rank`, `price`, `marketCap`, `fullyDilutedValuation`, `totalVolume`
- **Movement** — `high24h`, `low24h`, `priceChange24h`, `priceChangePct24h`, `priceChangePct7d`, `priceChangePct30d`
- **Supply** — `circulatingSupply`, `totalSupply`, `maxSupply`
- **Extremes** — `ath`, `athChangePct`, `athDate`, `atl`, `atlDate`, `lastUpdated`
- **History (optional)** — nested `history[]` of `{ date, price, totalVolume, marketCap }` daily points

### Output sample

```json
{
  "id": "bitcoin",
  "symbol": "btc",
  "name": "Bitcoin",

  ]
}

`history` is present only when `includeHistory` is on.

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `vsCurrency` | string | `usd` | Quote currency, e.g. `usd`, `eur`, `btc` |
| `coinIds` | array | — | Specific coin ids (e.g. `bitcoin`); empty = top coins by order |
| `category` | string | — | CoinGecko category id, e.g. `layer-1`, `meme-token` |
| `order` | string | `market_cap_desc` | `market_cap_desc/asc`, `volume_desc/asc`, `id_asc` |
| `includeHistory` | boolean | `false` | Also fetch each coin's daily price history |
| `historyDays` | integer | `30` | Days of history when enabled (e.g. 7, 30, 90, 365) |
| `maxResults` | integer | `100` | Cap on coins returned |

### Example input

```json
{
  "vsCurrency": "usd",
  "coinIds": ["bitcoin", "ethereum", "solana"],
  "includeHistory": true,
  "historyDays": 90
}
```

### Why this actor

- **More than a screener** — market-cap rankings, supply figures, ATH/ATL *and* per-coin price history in one actor.
- **Flexible targeting** — top-N, specific coins, or a category; any fiat/crypto quote currency.
- **Reliable** — handles CoinGecko's free-tier rate limits with throttling and 429 backoff.

### Pricing

Pay per result — **$2.00 per 1,000 results** (one result = one coin, with history nested). No subscription; you pay only for what you get.

### Notes & limits

- Uses CoinGecko's free public API, which is rate-limited; enabling `includeHistory` adds one throttled request per coin (slower).
- Market data reflects CoinGecko at fetch time and changes constantly. Not financial advice; not affiliated with CoinGecko.
