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). # README ## CoinMarketCap Scraper Extract cryptocurrency listings from CoinMarketCap in a clean, structured dataset for research, monitoring, and market analysis. ### Features - **Comprehensive listings** - Collect ranked cryptocurrency records with pricing, market cap, volume, supply, and performance fields. - **Flexible input mode** - Run with a CoinMarketCap URL, a keyword filter, or both. - **Pagination control** - Limit requests with `max_pages` and control output size with `results_wanted`. - **Clean dataset output** - Removes null and empty values before storing each item. - **Deduplicated records** - Prevents duplicate coin entries in the final dataset. ### Use Cases #### Market Monitoring Track top assets and price movement snapshots on a schedule for ongoing market visibility. #### Portfolio Research Collect standardized market fields to compare assets by rank, liquidity, and supply metrics. #### Data Pipelines Feed fresh listing data into dashboards, BI tools, automations, or alerting workflows. --- ### Input Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description | |-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------| | `url` | String | No | `https://coinmarketcap.com/all/views/all/` | Any CoinMarketCap listing URL to anchor the run. | | `keyword` | String | No | `bitcoin` | Optional filter by coin name, symbol, slug, or tag. | | `results_wanted` | Integer | No | `20` | Maximum number of rows to save. | | `max_pages` | Integer | No | `5` | Maximum number of listing pages to request. | | `sortBy` | String | No | `market_cap` | Sort field. | | `proxyConfiguration` | Object | No | `{ "useApifyProxy": false }` | Optional Apify proxy setup. | Internal runtime defaults: - Sort order is fixed to `desc`. - Quote currency is fixed to `USD`. - API page size is fixed to `100`. --- ### Output Data Each dataset item can include: | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `id` | Integer | CoinMarketCap coin ID | | `cmc_rank` | Integer | Current market rank | | `name` | String | Coin name | | `symbol` | String | Ticker symbol | | `slug` | String | URL slug | | `tags` | Array | Coin tags | | `badges` | Array | Coin badges | | `market_pair_count` | Integer | Number of market pairs | | `circulating_supply` | Number | Circulating supply | | `self_reported_circulating_supply` | Number | Self-reported circulating supply | | `total_supply` | Number | Total supply | | `max_supply` | Number | Max supply | | `date_added` | String | Asset listing date | | `last_updated` | String | Asset update timestamp | | `is_active` | Integer | Active state | | `is_audited` | Boolean | Audit state | | `quote_currency` | String | Quote currency used | | `price` | Number | Current price | | `volume_24h` | Number | 24h volume | | `volume_change_24h` | Number | 24h volume change | | `market_cap` | Number | Market capitalization | | `market_cap_by_total_supply` | Number | Market cap by total supply | | `fully_diluted_market_cap` | Number | Fully diluted market cap | | `percent_change_1h` | Number | 1h change | | `percent_change_24h` | Number | 24h change | | `percent_change_7d` | Number | 7d change | | `percent_change_30d` | Number | 30d change | | `percent_change_60d` | Number | 60d change | | `percent_change_90d` | Number | 90d change | | `percent_change_1y` | Number | 1y change | | `dominance` | Number | Market dominance | | `turnover` | Number | Turnover ratio | | `ytd_price_change_percentage` | Number | Year-to-date price change | | `quote_last_updated` | String | Quote timestamp | | `coin_url` | String | Coin page URL | --- ### Usage Examples #### Basic Run ```json { "url": "https://coinmarketcap.com/all/views/all/", "results_wanted": 20 } ```` #### Keyword Filtering ```json { "url": "https://coinmarketcap.com/all/views/all/", "keyword": "eth", "results_wanted": 50, "max_pages": 10 } ``` #### Custom Sorting ```json { "url": "https://coinmarketcap.com/all/views/all/?page=2", "sortBy": "volume_24h", "results_wanted": 100, "max_pages": 5 } ``` *** ### Sample Output ```json { "id": 1, "cmc_rank": 1, "name": "Bitcoin", "symbol": "BTC", "slug": "bitcoin", "market_pair_count": 12326, "circulating_supply": 19872778, "total_supply": 19872778, "max_supply": 21000000, "price": 110588.94313277966, "volume_24h": 68565612484.21353, "market_cap": 2197962364601.5906, "percent_change_24h": 3.45776338, "quote_currency": "USD", "coin_url": "https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/" } ``` *** ### Tips For Best Results #### Use Real Listing URLs - Use CoinMarketCap listing URLs so sorting and pagination context stays consistent. - Start with the default `all/views/all` page for complete coverage. #### Keep QA-Friendly Defaults - Keep `results_wanted` near `20` for quick validation runs. - Increase `results_wanted` and `max_pages` for production collection. #### Manage Throughput - Use proxy settings if your network needs additional request stability. - Scale gradually and monitor result counts in each run. *** ### Integrations Connect output datasets with: - **Google Sheets** - Create analysis sheets and reports. - **Airtable** - Build searchable asset tables. - **Make** - Automate downstream workflows. - **Zapier** - Trigger alerts and notifications. - **Webhooks** - Push records to custom services. #### Export Formats - **JSON** - Best for APIs and engineering workflows. - **CSV** - Best for spreadsheet analysis. - **Excel** - Best for business reporting. - **XML** - Best for legacy integrations. *** ### Frequently Asked Questions #### Can I run with only a keyword? Yes. If no URL is provided, the scraper uses the default CoinMarketCap all-listings page. #### Can I run with only a URL? Yes. A URL alone is enough to run the scraper. #### Will user input override defaults? Yes. Values sent in the run input always take priority. #### Why are some fields missing on some rows? Not every asset includes every market field at every moment; empty fields are removed from output. #### Can I collect more than one page? Yes. Increase `max_pages` and `results_wanted`. *** ### Support For issues or feature requests, contact support through the Apify Console. #### Resources - [Apify Documentation](https://docs.apify.com/) - [API Reference](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2) - [Scheduling Runs](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules) *** ### Legal Notice This actor is designed for legitimate data collection and analysis use.
