## 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.

### GMX Arbitrum Stats Scraper

**Scrape GMX trading stats from Arbitrum, including volume, fees, open interest, and liquidity, up to a million records per run.** Every record comes with token-level detail, timestamp, and computed metrics. No API key required. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

GMX's on-chain data is spread across multiple contracts and subgraphs, making it difficult to aggregate trading stats for analysis. This scraper reads the public GMX Arbitrum stats feeds directly, filtering by token, and returns each match in one fixed schema.

### How it compares

No other Store actor targets GMX Arbitrum the same way, so the honest comparison is with the alternatives teams actually weigh.

| | GMX Arbitrum Stats Scraper | Build it in-house | By hand |
|---|---|---|---|
| Setup | Run it now, zero config | Days of engineering | None, but hours per pull |
| When GMX Arbitrum changes | Maintained for you | You fix it | You re-learn the page |
| Proxies, retries, anti-bot | Built in | Your problem | Browser only |
| Output | Fixed JSON schema, CSV/Excel export | Whatever you build | Copy-paste |
| Cost | Pay per result | Engineering time | Analyst hours |

### Configure the run

Drive the Actor with a maximum record count and an optional comma-separated token filter, so only the stats you need reach your dataset. The Input tab lists every parameter.

A first run with the defaults:

```json
{
  "maxItems": 10
}
```

A larger pull:

```json
{
  "maxItems": 200
}
```

### Pricing

Pay-per-result: **$0.0085 per result** collected. You pay only for the results written to your dataset.

| Results collected | Approximate cost |
|---|---|
| 100 results | $0.85 |
| 1,000 results | $8.50 |
| 10,000 results | $85.00 |

New Apify accounts start with $5 in free credit.

### Free users

Free-plan runs return up to 10 results as a preview. [Upgrade your Apify plan](https://console.apify.com/sign-up?fpr=vmoqkp) to collect up to 1,000,000 results per run.

### Run it

1. [Create a free Apify account with $5 in credit](https://console.apify.com/sign-up?fpr=vmoqkp).
2. Open the [GMX Arbitrum Stats Scraper](https://apify.com/parseforge/gmx-arbitrum-stats-scraper?fpr=vmoqkp).
3. Set your inputs and any filters, then click **Start**.
4. Export the results as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML from the **Dataset** tab.

Run it programmatically through the [Apify API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2) (`run-sync-get-dataset-items`) or the [ApifyClient](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js) for JavaScript and Python.

### Use with AI agents (MCP)

Give an AI agent live access to GMX Arbitrum through the Model Context Protocol. Add the Actor to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=parseforge/gmx-arbitrum-stats-scraper"
```

Then prompt it in plain language to run the scraper and read back the results.

### Troubleshooting

**Why am I getting no results?**

Check your token filter spelling. Token symbols are case-sensitive and must match exactly, for example, BTC not btc. Also, try increasing the maxItems value.

**The run failed with an error.**

This is often a temporary network issue. Retry the run. If the problem persists, check the Apify platform status or the actor's run log for specific error messages.

**My dataset has fewer records than the maxItems I set.**

The scraper collects only the records available at the time of the run. If the source has fewer data points than your maxItems setting, you will receive all available records.

**Can I get real-time streaming data?**

This actor is designed for batch collection. For near real-time updates, schedule the actor to run at a very high frequency, such as every minute.

### FAQ

|---|---|
| What data does this scraper collect from GMX Arbitrum? | It collects trading statistics such as volume, fees, open interest, and liquidity, broken down by token and timestamp. |
