## Pricing

from $11.00 / 1,000 results

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?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

### What does Crypto Currency Converter do?

**Crypto Currency Converter** converts any cryptocurrency amount to another coin or fiat currency using real-time exchange rates. Pass a coin pair and amount — get back the converted value instantly. Supports thousands of crypto-to-crypto and crypto-to-fiat conversions.

This Actor runs on the [Apify platform](https://apify.com). Integrate live conversion rates into your applications, financial tools, or data pipelines without a paid crypto API subscription.

### Why use Crypto Currency Converter?

- **Real-time rates** — conversion based on current market prices
- **Crypto to crypto** — convert BTC to ETH, SOL to USDT, and any other pair
- **Crypto to fiat** — convert to USD, EUR, GBP, and 30+ other currencies
- **No API key** — no CoinGecko Pro or exchange API subscription required
- **Batch conversions** — run multiple conversions in one Actor call

### How to use Crypto Currency Converter

1. Open the Actor and click **Try for free**
2. Enter the source coin, target coin, and amount to convert
3. Click **Start** — conversion results are ready in seconds
4. Download as JSON or use the Apify API to integrate into your app

### Input

```json

    { "from": "bitcoin", "to": "usd", "amount": 1.5 },
    { "from": "ethereum", "to": "eur", "amount": 10 },
    { "from": "solana", "to": "bitcoin", "amount": 100 }
  ]
}
```

| Field | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| `conversions` | array | List of conversion requests | required |
| `conversions[].from` | string | Source coin (CoinGecko ID or symbol) | required |
| `conversions[].to` | string | Target coin or fiat currency code | required |
| `conversions[].amount` | number | Amount to convert | required |

### Output

Results are stored in the Apify dataset. Download in JSON, CSV, HTML, or Excel.

```json
{
  "from": "bitcoin",
  "to": "usd",
  "amount": 1.5,
  "result": 101148.23,
  "rate": 67432.15,
  "timestamp": "2024-03-20T12:00:00Z"
}
```

### Output fields

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `from` | string | Source coin |
| `to` | string | Target coin or fiat |
| `amount` | number | Input amount |
| `result` | number | Converted value |
| `rate` | number | Exchange rate used |
| `timestamp` | string | Timestamp of the rate used |

### Cost

Pay-per-result pricing:

| Volume | Estimated cost |
|---|---|
| 100 conversions | ~$0.01–$0.05 |

### Tips

- Use CoinGecko coin IDs (e.g., `bitcoin`, `ethereum`) for most reliable results
- For fiat currencies, use standard ISO codes: `usd`, `eur`, `gbp`, `jpy`, `cad`
- Schedule runs to log conversion rates over time and build a rate history dataset

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "amount": 1,
    "from_id": "1",
    "to_id": "2781"
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("maged120/crypto-convert").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "amount": 1,
  "from_id": "1",
  "to_id": "2781"
}' |
apify call maged120/crypto-convert --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,maged120/crypto-convert"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
