## Pricing

from $13.00 / 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 Cryptocurrency Market Data do?

**Cryptocurrency Market Data** delivers real-time market data for thousands of cryptocurrencies — prices, market capitalizations, 24-hour volume, percentage changes, and rankings — all in structured JSON. No CoinGecko or CoinMarketCap API key required.

This Actor runs on the [Apify platform](https://apify.com), making it easy to schedule regular data pulls, feed crypto dashboards, or power trading research workflows.

### Why use Cryptocurrency Market Data?

- **No API key** — avoid CoinGecko Pro and CoinMarketCap API subscription costs
- **Full market snapshot** — prices, caps, volume, % changes for thousands of coins
- **Scheduled pulls** — run every hour or minute to track price movements
- **Dashboard-ready** — clean JSON output that plugs into any BI or charting tool
- **Batch coins** — filter to only the coins you care about

### How to use Cryptocurrency Market Data

1. Open the Actor and click **Try for free**
2. Optionally filter by specific coin IDs or leave blank for all coins
3. Set the currency for price output (default: USD)
4. Click **Start** — results are ready in seconds
5. Download as JSON or CSV, or stream via the Apify API

### Input

```json
{
  "coinIds": ["bitcoin", "ethereum", "solana"],
  "currency": "usd",
  "maxCoins": 100
}
```

| Field | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| `coinIds` | array | CoinGecko coin IDs to fetch (empty = top N by market cap) | `[]` |
| `currency` | string | Price currency code (e.g., `usd`, `eur`, `gbp`) | `usd` |
| `maxCoins` | integer | Max coins to return when no IDs specified | `100` |

### Output

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

### Cost

Pay-per-result pricing:

| Volume | Estimated cost |
|---|---|
| 100 coins | ~$0.01–$0.05 |
| 1,000 coins | ~$0.10–$0.50 |
| 10,000 coins | ~$1–$5 |

### Tips

- Schedule this Actor to run every 15 minutes to track fast-moving markets
- Leave `coinIds` empty and set `maxCoins: 250` to get the full top-250 market snapshot
- Use `currency: "eur"` or `currency: "gbp"` for European price data
- Connect results to Google Sheets via Apify integrations for live spreadsheet dashboards

## MCP server setup

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

```

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).
