clothefobia/top-crypto-data-scraper

A simple scraper Actor for collecting data about the top-ranked cryptocurrencies: current price, volume, market cap, and other key metrics — all in one go.

🚀 What the Actor Does

This Actor scrapes a “top cryptocurrencies” list from a major coin-marketplace, and for each coin it collects:

• Rank
• Logo image link
• Name
• Symbol
• Price
• 1-hour price change
• 24-hour price change
• 7-day price change
• Market cap
• 24-hour volume
• Circulating supply
• 7-day chart image link

The output is stored in an Apify dataset, making it easy to consume via API or export (JSON/CSV) for analysis, dashboards, or widgets.

🎯 Use Cases

• Display a “Top Cryptocurrencies” widget on a website/dashboard
• Periodic data collection for market-trend analysis
• Use as a data feed for crypto-tracking apps, bots, or alerts
• Integration with BI tools, spreadsheets, or data pipelines

🧰 How to Use It

1. On the Apify console, launch the Actor by clicking Start — it will fetch the latest top-crypto data automatically.
2. Wait for the run to complete.
3. Navigate to the Actor’s default dataset to view or export your results.

Optionally, you can schedule the Actor to run periodically (e.g. hourly, daily) so you always have up-to-date data.

❗ Notes & Considerations

• The Actor depends on the target website’s structure. If the website changes layout, scraping may break — in that case you’ll need to update the selector logic.
• Data reflects a snapshot in time (when run). For time-series or historical data you may need to run the Actor on a schedule and store results.
• Respect the target site’s terms of service and rate limits. Use responsibly — especially if scheduling frequent runs.
