How It Works

This actor uses intelligent extraction with Apify's proxy infrastructure to gather public data from CoinMarketCap AI Gateway. It handles authentication, pagination, and error recovery automatically.

Quick Start

# Run via Apify API
apify run -a red.cars/coinmarketcap-ai-gateway

# Or configure input and click Run on:
# https://apify.com/red.cars/coinmarketcap-ai-gateway

Using as an MCP Tool

If you have the Apify MCP server configured, the actor exposes coinmarketcap_ai_gateway as an MCP tool:

{
  "mcp_tool_example": "coinmarketcap_ai_gateway"
}

Running on Apify Platform

Set API_KEY in your Apify Console secrets, configure input via the Actor input schema UI, and click Run.
