## 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.

# README

## Deribit Crypto Options & Derivatives Tracker

Keyless **BTC and ETH options** data from **Deribit** — the dominant crypto options venue. No API key, no account. Three modes:

- **Summary** — per-expiry analytics: put/call open-interest and volume ratios, at-the-money implied volatility, total open interest, and strike count. The dashboard options traders read first.
- **Options** — the full option chain: one row per instrument with mark price, implied vol, open interest, volume, strike, expiry, and moneyness.
- **DVOL** — the Deribit volatility index (the crypto "VIX") as a time series.

### Who uses it

- **Crypto options & volatility traders** — read positioning and skew, track IV and the put/call ratio into expiry.
- **Quant & systematic desks** — pull the chain or DVOL history for models and dashboards.
- **Newsletters & analysts** — "BTC put/call ratio spiked into month-end expiry" is a recurring story.

Pairs with our [Crypto Funding Rates & Open Interest Tracker](https://apify.com/scrapemint/crypto-funding-rates-tracker) for the perps side of the book.

### Input

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `mode` | `summary`, `options`, or `dvol`. |
| `currencies` | Underlyings, e.g. `BTC`, `ETH`. |
| `optionType` | `both` / `call` / `put` (options mode). |
| `expiries` | Filter to specific expiries in Deribit format, e.g. `28AUG26` (empty = all). |
| `minOpenInterest` | Skip thin instruments (options mode). |
| `sortBy` | `open_interest` / `volume` / `mark_iv` (options mode). |
| `dvolHours` / `dvolResolution` | Volatility-index lookback and candle size (dvol mode). |
| `maxRows` | Row cap per run. |

### Output

- **Summary**: `currency`, `expiry`, `daysToExpiry`, `underlyingPrice`, `atmIv`, `callOpenInterest`, `putOpenInterest`, `totalOpenInterest`, `putCallOiRatio`, `callVolumeUsd`, `putVolumeUsd`, `putCallVolumeRatio`, `strikeCount`.
- **Options**: `instrument`, `optionType`, `strike`, `expiry`, `daysToExpiry`, `markPrice`, `markPriceUsd`, `markIv`, `openInterest`, `openInterestUsd`, `volume`, `volumeUsd`, `bidPrice`, `askPrice`, `midPrice`, `underlyingPrice`, `moneyness`.
- **DVOL**: `currency`, `timestamp`, `dvolOpen`, `dvolHigh`, `dvolLow`, `dvolClose`.

### Pricing

Pay per event: **$0.003 per row**. The first 2 rows of every run are free.

# Actor input Schema

## `mode` (type: `string`):

summary = per-expiry put/call ratios + ATM implied vol + open interest (the dashboard). options = the full option chain, one row per instrument. dvol = the Deribit volatility index time series.

## `currencies` (type: `array`):

Which underlyings to pull, e.g. BTC, ETH.

## `optionType` (type: `string`):

Filter the option chain to calls, puts, or both.

## `expiries` (type: `array`):

Filter to specific expiries in Deribit format, e.g. 28AUG26, 26DEC26. Empty = all listed expiries.

## `minOpenInterest` (type: `integer`):

Skip option instruments with open interest below this (in contracts). 0 = no minimum.

## `sortBy` (type: `string`):

Order the option chain by open interest, USD volume, or implied vol.

## `dvolHours` (type: `integer`):

How many hours of volatility-index history to return.

## `dvolResolution` (type: `integer`):

Candle resolution in seconds, e.g. 3600 = hourly, 86400 = daily.

## `maxRows` (type: `integer`):

Cap on rows returned. Controls total cost.
