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 ## 💰 Crypto Price Tracker Track cryptocurrency prices, market caps, 24h volumes, and price changes for 10,000+ coins via CoinGecko API. Historical data up to 365 days. ### Store Quickstart Start with the **Quickstart** template (BTC, ETH, SOL, USD). For portfolio tracking, use **Portfolio Tracker** with 10-20 coins and history enabled. ### Key Features - 💰 **10,000+ coins** — Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and every major altcoin - ðŸ’ą **Multiple vs-currencies** — USD, EUR, JPY, BTC, ETH quote options - 📊 **Full market data** — Price, market cap, 24h volume, % change - 📈 **Historical sparklines** — 7d price sparkline data included - 📅 **Historical data** — Up to 365 days of daily prices - 🔑 **No API key needed** — Free tier of CoinGecko API ### Use Cases | Who | Why | |-----|-----| | **Crypto traders** | Daily market snapshots for trading decisions | | **Portfolio trackers** | Periodic portfolio valuation across coins | | **Tax/accounting firms** | Historical prices for transaction reporting | | **DeFi analysts** | Token price feeds for on-chain research | | **News sites** | Live crypto price widgets on finance pages | ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |-------|------|---------|-------------| | coins | string[] | (required) | CoinGecko coin IDs (max 50) | | vsCurrencies | string[] | ["usd"] | Quote currencies | | includeHistory | boolean | false | Include historical prices | | historyDays | integer | 7 | Days of history (1-365) | #### Input Example ```json { "coins": ["bitcoin", "ethereum", "solana"], "vsCurrencies": ["usd", "jpy"], "includeHistory": false } ```` ### Output | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `coin` | string | Coin ID (bitcoin, ethereum, etc.) | | `symbol` | string | Ticker symbol | | `currency` | string | Quote currency (usd, eur, jpy) | | `price` | number | Current price | | `marketCap` | number | Market cap (if includeMarketCap) | | `change24h` | number | 24h percentage change (if include24hChange) | | `volume24h` | number | 24h trading volume | | `fetchedAt` | string | ISO timestamp | #### Output Example ```json { "id": "bitcoin", "name": "Bitcoin", "price": {"usd": 95420, "jpy": 14500000}, "marketCap": 1880000000000, "volume24h": 42000000000, "change24h": 2.35, "sparkline7d": [94000, 94500, 95000, 95420] } ``` ### API Usage Run this actor programmatically using the Apify API. Replace `YOUR_API_TOKEN` with your token from [Apify Console → Settings → Integrations](https://console.apify.com/account/integrations). #### cURL ```bash curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/taroyamada~cryptocurrency-price-tracker/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_API_TOKEN" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "coins": ["bitcoin", "ethereum", "solana"], "vsCurrencies": ["usd", "jpy"], "includeHistory": false }' ``` #### Python ```python from apify_client import ApifyClient client = ApifyClient("YOUR_API_TOKEN") run = client.actor("taroyamada/cryptocurrency-price-tracker").call(run_input={ "coins": ["bitcoin", "ethereum", "solana"], "vsCurrencies": ["usd", "jpy"], "includeHistory": false }) for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items(): print(item) ``` #### JavaScript / Node.js ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_API_TOKEN' }); const run = await client.actor('taroyamada/cryptocurrency-price-tracker').call({ "coins": ["bitcoin", "ethereum", "solana"], "vsCurrencies": ["usd", "jpy"], "includeHistory": false }); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); console.log(items); ``` ### Tips & Limitations - Powered by CoinGecko's free public API — no API key required. - Schedule every 5 minutes for near-real-time price tracking. - Use multiple `vsCurrencies` to monitor cross-currency arbitrage opportunities. - Combine with webhook delivery to send alerts on threshold breaches. ### FAQ **Rate limits?** CoinGecko free tier: ~30 calls/min. This actor batches requests to stay safe. **Where do coin IDs come from?** Use CoinGecko's coin list (e.g., 'bitcoin', not 'BTC'). The actor validates IDs at input time. **Can I get real-time prices?** CoinGecko free tier has 1-5 min cache. For sub-minute, paid tier needed. **Historical data retention?** Free tier: 365 days of daily data. Older history requires paid tier. **Which exchanges does the price come from?** CoinGecko aggregates volume-weighted prices across hundreds of exchanges. **Is there a rate limit?** CoinGecko free tier allows ~30 calls/minute. The actor batches requests automatically. ### Related Actors Market Data & Financial APIs cluster — explore related Apify tools: - [ðŸ’ą Exchange Rate Monitor](https://apify.com/taroyamada/exchange-rate-monitor) — Monitor 160+ foreign exchange rates with automatic change detection. - [ðŸŒĪïļ Weather Forecast API](https://apify.com/taroyamada/weather-forecast-fetcher) — Fetch weather forecasts for any location worldwide via free Open-Meteo API. - [📊 SEC EDGAR Monitor](https://apify.com/taroyamada/sec-edgar-filings-monitor) — Monitor SEC EDGAR filings for US public companies by ticker or CIK. - [Competitive Pricing Monitor - SaaS & Ecommerce Plan Tracker](https://apify.com/taroyamada/competitive-pricing-monitor) — Monitor competitor SaaS and ecommerce pricing pages for plan changes, price increases/decreases, new/removed tiers, and packaging shifts. - [ESG Disclosure Tracker API](https://apify.com/taroyamada/esg-disclosure-tracker) — Monitor official ESG, sustainability, climate, investor relations, and SEC / EDGAR disclosure surfaces with one summary-first company digest per monitored target. ### Cost **Pay Per Event**: - `actor-start`: $0.01 (flat fee per run) - `dataset-item`: $0.005 per output item **Example**: 1,000 items = $0.01 + (1,000 × $0.005) = **$5.01** No subscription required — you only pay for what you use. # Actor input Schema ## `coins` (type: `array`): CoinGecko IDs (max 50). ## `vsCurrencies` (type: `array`): Target currencies. ## `includeHistory` (type: `boolean`): Include historical data in output ## `historyDays` (type: `integer`): Number of days of historical data to fetch ## `timeoutMs` (type: `integer`): Request timeout in milliseconds ## `delivery` (type: `string`): Where to send results: dataset or webhook ## `webhookUrl` (type: `string`): Webhook URL to POST results to (if delivery=webhook) ## `dryRun` (type: `boolean`): Run without saving results (for testing) ## Actor input object example ```json { "coins": [ "bitcoin", "ethereum" ], "vsCurrencies": [ "usd" ], "includeHistory": false, "historyDays": 7, "timeoutMs": 15000, "delivery": "dataset", "dryRun": false } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
