CryptoPanic News Scraper

Pull real-time cryptocurrency news from CryptoPanic at scale — headlines, source domains, coin tags, publish timestamps, the full community vote breakdown, PanicScore momentum signals, and AI sentiment levels for every post across the feed. Works zero-config with no login or developer token. Built for crypto traders, quant researchers, and sentiment-analysis builders who need a clean, structured stream of crypto news and market mood without managing logins or rate limits.

Why This Scraper?

• Zero-config, no token or login required — point it at a category and get structured news immediately. No account, no key, no signup wall.
• Full community vote breakdown on every post — 7 sentiment vote types (bullish, bearish, important, LOL, liked, disliked, saved) plus toxic flags and comment counts, populated on the free anonymous feed.
• Dual sentiment signals — CryptoPanic's proprietary PanicScore momentum reading and a numeric AI sentiment level on each post, so you can cross-check crowd mood against the model.
• PanicScore on every curated-category post — Hot, Rising, Bullish, Bearish, Important, and LOL feeds carry a populated PanicScore on ~98% of rows, giving you a ready-made heat signal for trade timing.
• 8 category filters — All news, Rising, Hot, Bullish, Bearish, Important, LOL, and Saved, matching CryptoPanic's own community-curated tabs.
• Coin-tag enrichment with full names — every post lists the tickers it mentions (BTC, ETH, SOL) plus a coinsDetail block resolving each ticker to its full coin name and slug, so you never have to maintain a ticker lookup table.
• News and media in one run — collect written articles, video and podcast posts, or both, with each post carrying its own content type.
• 14 region/language locales — supply your free CryptoPanic developer token to unlock true server-side filtering across English, German, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and 8 more.
• Up to 1,000 posts per run — sweeps CryptoPanic's full feed depth with smooth automatic pagination and duplicate removal.

Getting Started

Latest News (simplest)

{
    "filter": "all",
    "maxItems": 100
}

Hot Bitcoin News with Sentiment

The most useful combination — a curated feed (so PanicScore lands on every row) narrowed to one coin:

{
    "filter": "hot",
    "coins": ["BTC"],
    "kind": "news",
    "maxItems": 200
}

Region-Filtered Feed with API Token

Supply your free developer token to unlock server-side language and region filtering:

{
    "filter": "rising",
    "coins": ["ETH", "SOL"],
    "language": "de",
    "apiToken": "your-free-cryptopanic-token",
    "maxItems": 500
}

Input Reference

What to Collect

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
filter	select	All news	Which slice of the feed to collect: All news, Rising, Hot, Bullish, Bearish, Important, LOL, or Saved. The curated tabs (Hot, Rising, Bullish, Bearish, Important, LOL) carry PanicScore on almost every post.
kind	select	News and media	Content type: News and media, News only, or Media only (videos and podcasts).
coins	string[]	[]	Limit results to specific coins by ticker symbol, e.g. BTC, ETH, SOL. Leave empty to collect news about every coin.

Region & Token

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
language	select	English	Region/language for results — 14 options (English, German, Dutch, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese). Applies only when an API token is supplied below; without a token the feed is global and this setting is ignored.
apiToken	string	null	Optional free CryptoPanic developer token. Supplying it switches to CryptoPanic's official developer API and unlocks true language/region filtering. Get one free at cryptopanic.com/developers/api. Leave empty to run in anonymous mode, which returns PanicScore and AI sentiment.

Limit

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
maxItems	integer	100	Maximum news items to collect in one run (1–1,000). The feed exposes roughly the latest 1,000 stories, so higher values return at most 1,000.

Each post is one flat row. Here is a representative result from the anonymous (no-token) mode:

Tips for Best Results

• Use Hot or Rising for sentiment work — these curated feeds carry a populated PanicScore on ~98% of rows, while the raw "All news" feed has it on only a fraction. Pick a curated category whenever you want a momentum signal on every post.
• Read coinsDetail, not just coins — CryptoPanic's auto-tagger occasionally attaches short or generic tickers; the full coin name and slug in coinsDetail let you confirm which asset a post really concerns.
• Filter by ticker to cut noise — set coins to the assets you track so each run returns only relevant headlines instead of the whole firehose.
• Combine vote fields into a ratio — dividing votesPositive by votesNegative gives a quick crowd bull/bear gauge that updates as a story spreads.
• Add your free token for localized feeds — language/region filtering only activates with a developer token; without one the feed is global regardless of the language setting.
• Start small, then scale — run with maxItems at 50–100 to confirm the data fits your needs before pulling the full 1,000-post depth.
• Schedule short, frequent runs — crypto news moves fast; a small run every few minutes keeps a fresher stream than one large daily pull.

Pricing

From $0.90 per 1,000 results — pay only for the news posts you collect. No compute or time-based charges — you pay per result, plus a small fixed per-run start fee. Bronze, Silver, and Gold subscribers pay progressively less; the table below shows total cost at each discount tier.

Results	No discount	Bronze	Silver	Gold
100	$0.11	$0.10	$0.10	$0.09
1,000	$1.05	$1.00	$0.95	$0.90
10,000	$10.50	$10.00	$9.50	$9.00
100,000	$105.00	$100.00	$95.00	$90.00

A "result" is any news post row in the output dataset. Apify platform fees are additional and depend on your plan.
