## 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.

### KuCoin Crypto Tickers Scraper

**Scrape KuCoin crypto tickers for every spot pair, with price, 24h volume, and percent change.** Filter by quote asset, sort by volume or change, and export up to a million rows to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML. No API key needed.

KuCoin's official API needs an account, API key, and rate limits that slow you down. This reads the public ticker endpoint directly and returns every spot pair in one flat row: last price, 24h base and quote volume, high/low, and percent change. Filter by quote asset like USDT or BTC, sort by volume or change, and cap the result count.

| Who uses it | What they scrape KuCoin for |
|---|---|
| Crypto traders | Which KuCoin pairs are moving the most right now |
| Quant developers | A clean ticker dataset to feed a trading bot or backtest |
| Market analysts | Volume and price change across the KuCoin spot market |
| Portfolio trackers | Current prices for KuCoin pairs to update a dashboard |

### What it does

This Actor collects KuCoin spot tickers and returns each pair as a flat row with price, volume, and 24h change.

- 📊 **All spot pairs:** every KuCoin ticker in one run, no symbol list needed.
- 🔍 **Quote asset filter:** narrow to USDT, USDC, BTC, ETH, KCS, DAI, TUSD, EUR, or TRX pairs.
- 📈 **Sort by signal:** order by 24h quote volume, base volume, percent change, last price, or symbol.
- ⚡ **Fast and keyless:** public endpoint, no API key, no login, no rate limit headaches.
- 📦 **Export anywhere:** CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, ready for your pipeline.

Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

### What you can do with KuCoin data

**📈 Track market movers.**

A trader runs the Actor with quoteAsset USDT and sortBy changePercent to see which KuCoin USDT pairs gained the most in 24 hours.

**🤖 Feed a trading bot.**

A quant developer schedules the Actor every minute, filters to BTC pairs, and pipes the latest prices into a bot that rebalances on volume spikes.

**📊 Monitor exchange liquidity.**

An analyst pulls all KuCoin tickers sorted by quoteVolume to rank pairs by 24h turnover and spot illiquid markets.

**💼 Update a portfolio dashboard.**

A portfolio tracker runs the Actor daily for a fixed list of symbols and refreshes current prices in a Google Sheet.

### Why choose this scraper

|  | What you get |
|---|---|
| **No API key** | Reads the public KuCoin ticker endpoint, no registration or auth |
| **One flat row per pair** | Price, volume, high/low, and 24h change in a fixed schema |
| **Filter and sort** | Quote asset, sort by volume or change, and cap the result count |
| **Scales to a million rows** | Paid users can pull up to 1,000,000 tickers per run |

### How it compares

This Actor focuses on current KuCoin spot tickers with filtering and sorting, while the competitors below either track listings across exchanges or offer a similar KuCoin ticker scrape.

| Feature | ParseForge | CEX Token Listings Tracker - New Listings & Delistings | KuCoin Crypto Ticker Scraper - Prices, Volume & 24h Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| All KuCoin spot tickers | Yes | Not listed | Yes |
| Filter by quote asset | Yes | Not listed | Not listed |
| Sort by volume or change | Yes | Not listed | Not listed |
| Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, XML | Yes | Not listed | Yes |
| No API key required | Yes | Not listed | Yes |
| Track new listings and delistings | Not listed | Yes | Not listed |

### Configure the run

Drive the Actor with an optional quote asset filter, a sort field, and a maximum item count. Filters run before results are returned, so only the pairs you want reach your dataset. The Input tab lists every parameter.

A first run with the defaults:

```json
{
  "maxItems": 10,
  "sortBy": "quoteVolume"
}
```

A larger pull:

```json
{
  "maxItems": 200,
  "sortBy": "quoteVolume"
}
```

### Pricing

Pay-per-result: **$0.0304 per result** collected. You pay only for the results written to your dataset.

| Results collected | Approximate cost |
|---|---|
| 100 results | $3.04 |
| 1,000 results | $30.40 |
| 10,000 results | $304.00 |

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 [KuCoin Crypto Tickers Scraper](https://apify.com/parseforge/kucoin-tickers-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 KuCoin 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/kucoin-tickers-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 quoteAsset filter. If you selected a quote asset that has no pairs, the result will be empty. Try leaving it empty to see all pairs.

**Why am I only getting 10 items?**

Free users are limited to 10 items as a preview. Upgrade to a paid plan and set maxItems to a higher number to get more tickers.

**The run failed with a timeout.**

If you set maxItems very high, the run may take longer. Try reducing maxItems or increasing the Actor's timeout in the run settings.

**The data looks stale.**

The Actor fetches live data on each run. If you are using a cached dataset, run the Actor again to get fresh tickers.

**Can I get only specific symbols?**

This Actor does not support filtering by individual symbols. You can filter by quote asset and sort, then filter the exported dataset by symbol.
