## 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.
For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).

### Who is it for
| Use case | Who benefits |
|---|---|
| Trading and analytics | Quants and bots tracking price, volume and momentum |
| Research | Analysts studying market caps, supply and rankings |
| Dashboards | Builders feeding live prices into their own apps |
| Portfolio tools | Anyone tracking a basket of coins over time |
### How to use it
1. Set the **quote currency** (for example usd, eur, gbp or btc).
2. Set **Max Items** to choose how many coins to collect, ranked by market cap.
3. Run it. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull it through the Apify API.
### Frequently Asked Questions
**Which coins are included?**
Coins are returned in order of market capitalization, highest first, so the top of the market is always covered. Increase Max Items to go deeper down the list.
**Can I price coins in euros or bitcoin?**
Yes. Set the quote currency to any supported fiat or crypto ticker, for example eur, gbp, jpy or btc.
**What do the price change fields mean?**
priceChangePct24h and priceChangePct7d are the percentage moves over the last 24 hours and 7 days. priceChange24h is the absolute change in price.
**How fresh is the data?**
Prices, volume and market cap are read live at run time, so each record reflects the market at the moment of the run (see observedAt).
