## Pricing

from $1.20 / 1,000 extracted coins

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

### ❓ Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: How many coins can I scrape?**
A: FREE tier: 25 per run. PAID tier: unlimited across as many pages as you need.

**Q: Do I need an API key or account?**
A: No. Just set your filters and run.

**Q: Which currencies are supported?**
A: USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, BTC and the other quote currencies the market supports.

**Q: What output formats are available?**
A: JSON, CSV and Excel — export directly from the Apify dataset.

**Q: What's the difference between Overview and Profile?**
A: Overview returns the bulk market list (cheapest, best for screening). Profile returns full per-coin detail (description, categories, homepage, sentiment).

**Q: How fresh is the data?**
A: Each run fetches live market data at run time.

### 🐛 Troubleshooting

**No coins returned in profile mode**

- Make sure `coinIds` (or `startUrl`) is set — profile mode needs at least one coin ID or URL.
- Use the coin slug (e.g. `bitcoin`), not the ticker (`btc`).

**Fewer coins than expected**

- FREE tier is capped at 25 coins / 2 pages per run. Upgrade for the whole market.

**A coin failed to fetch**

- The data service occasionally rate-limits high-volume runs; the actor cools off and retries, and reports any failures in the HTML report.

### ⚖️ Is it legal to scrape data?

Our actors are ethical and do not extract any private user data, such as email addresses, gender, or location. They only extract what the user has chosen to share publicly. We therefore believe that our actors, when used for ethical purposes by Apify users, are safe.

However, you should be aware that your results could contain personal data. Personal data is protected by the **GDPR** in the European Union and by other regulations around the world. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers.

You can also read Apify's blog post on the [legality of web scraping](https://blog.apify.com/is-web-scraping-legal/).

# Actor input Schema

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

🧭 **Choose what to extract:**

📊 **Overview (recommended, cheapest):** the full live market list — hundreds of coins per run, each already carrying price, market cap, rank, 24h volume, 24h high/low, ATH/ATL and supply. Best for bulk market data, screeners and dashboards.

🔎 **Profile (full detail):** one rich record per coin — adds description, categories, homepage, genesis date, hashing algorithm, sentiment, watchlist users and the hi-res logo. Best for enriching specific coins.

## `order` (type: `string`):

↕️ **OVERVIEW SORT:** the order coins are returned in — matches CoinGecko's own sort options.

- **Market cap (high → low)** is the default ranked list.
- **Volume** surfaces the most actively traded coins.
- **ID** sorts alphabetically by coin slug.

## `category` (type: `string`):

🏷️ **OPTIONAL:** restrict the overview list to a single coin category slug (e.g. `layer-1`, `meme-token`, `decentralized-finance-defi`, `stablecoins`). Leave empty for all coins.

## `vsCurrency` (type: `string`):

💵 **Currency to quote prices in** (ISO code, e.g. `usd`, `eur`, `gbp`, `jpy`, `btc`). Default `usd`.

## `perPage` (type: `integer`):

🔢 **How many coins to fetch per page** (1–250). Default 100.

## `maxPages` (type: `integer`):

📄 **How many overview pages to fetch.**

🎁 **TIER-BASED LIMITS:**

- **FREE users:** up to 2 pages (capped at 25 coins per run)
- **PAID users:** unlimited pages

Each page ≈ `Coins Per Page` coins.

## `coinIds` (type: `array`):

🪙 **Coin IDs or CoinGecko coin URLs** — one per line.

- In **Profile** mode these are the coins whose full detail is fetched (required).
- In **Overview** mode they optionally restrict the market list to just these coins.

🎁 **TIER-BASED LIMITS (Profile):**

- **FREE users:** up to 5 coin profiles per run
- **PAID users:** unlimited

💡 Use the coin slug (e.g. `bitcoin`, `ethereum`, `solana`) or paste `https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/bitcoin`.

## `startUrl` (type: `string`):

🔗 **OPTIONAL:** paste a single `https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/<id>` URL. In Profile mode it adds that coin; in Overview mode it restricts the list to that coin.
