Overview
Bitfinex Crypto Tickers Scraper
Scrape live crypto tickers from Bitfinex, filtered by quote asset and sorted by volume or price change. Every ticker includes last price, 24h volume, bid, ask, and percentage change. No API key required. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.
Bitfinex's REST API endpoints impose rate limits and require careful pagination logic when you need a broad market snapshot. This Actor reads the public ticker feed directly, lets you filter by quote currency like USD, UST, or BTC, and returns a clean, sorted dataset in one run. It is built for traders, bots, and portfolio trackers who need a fast, structured view of the entire Bitfinex spot market.
| Who uses it | What they scrape Bitfinex for |
|---|---|
| Quantitative traders | Feeding a sorted list of the most active pairs into a volatility scanner |
| Market analysts | Tracking 24h volume and price change across the entire USD-quoted market |
| Crypto bot operators | Pulling a filtered list of USDT pairs as input for a trading strategy |
| Portfolio managers | Getting a quick snapshot of last prices for all held assets quoted in BTC |
What it does
This Actor collects live ticker data for all trading pairs on Bitfinex and returns each one as a flat row with price, volume, bid, ask, and 24h change.
- 💱 Quote asset filter: restrict results to pairs quoted in USD, USDT, USDC, BTC, ETH, EUR, GBP, or JPY.
- 📊 Flexible sorting: order tickers by 24h base volume, percentage change, last price, or symbol name.
- 🔢 Result capping: set a maximum number of tickers to collect, from a single pair up to the full market.
- ⚡ Zero authentication: reads Bitfinex's public ticker endpoint with no API key, login, or IP whitelist.
Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

Configure the run
Drive the Actor by selecting a quote asset, a sort order, and a maximum number of tickers; filters apply before results are written so your dataset contains only the pairs you need. The Input tab lists every parameter.
A first run with the defaults:
{
"maxItems": 10,
"sortBy": "volume"
}
A larger pull:
{
"maxItems": 200,
"sortBy": "volume"
}

Troubleshooting
Why am I getting fewer tickers than I set in maxItems?
The Actor returns only the tickers that match your quote asset filter. If you selected USD but only 80 USD pairs exist on Bitfinex, you will get at most 80 rows even if maxItems is set to 200.
Why is the 24h volume zero for some pairs?
Bitfinex reports the volume as provided by its engine. Newly listed or extremely illiquid pairs may show zero or very low 24h volume. This is the value from the exchange, not an error in the Actor.
The run failed with a timeout. What should I do?
The Actor makes one HTTP request to Bitfinex. A timeout usually means Bitfinex's public endpoint was slow to respond. Retry the run after a minute. If it persists, check Bitfinex's status page for outages.
Can I get historical ticker data from yesterday?
No. This Actor reads the live public ticker endpoint, which returns current values only. For historical snapshots, schedule the Actor to run at intervals and store each run's dataset.
Why do some symbols look different from what I see on the Bitfinex website?
The Actor returns symbols exactly as Bitfinex's API represents them (e.g., 'tBTCUSD'). The prefix 't' denotes a trading pair. This is the native symbol format from the exchange.
FAQ
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Does this Actor need a Bitfinex API key? | No. It reads the public ticker endpoint that Bitfinex serves without authentication, so no API key or account is required. |
| What fields does each ticker row contain? | Each row includes the trading pair symbol, last price, bid, ask, 24h base volume, and 24h percentage change. The exact field list is shown in the sample output on the Actor's page. |
| Can I get only USDT pairs? | Yes. Set the Quote Asset Filter to 'USDT (UST)' and the Actor will return only pairs where the quote currency is USDT. |
| How many tickers can I collect in one run? | You can set the maximum anywhere from 1 to 1,000,000. The Actor will return up to that many tickers after applying your filter and sort order. |
| Does this include margin or derivatives tickers? | This Actor scrapes the spot market ticker feed. Margin and derivatives symbols are not included in the public ticker endpoint it reads. |
| How often should I run this Actor? | Bitfinex tickers update in real time. You can schedule the Actor to run every minute for near-live data, or less frequently for periodic snapshots. |
| Can I sort by the highest gainers? | Yes. Choose '24h % change (desc)' in the Sort By dropdown to get pairs with the largest positive daily change first. |
| What output formats are supported? | You can export your dataset as CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML from the Apify dataset tab after the run finishes. |
| Does this Actor handle delisted or inactive pairs? | The Actor returns whatever pairs Bitfinex's public ticker endpoint currently serves. Inactive or delisted pairs are typically removed from that feed by Bitfinex. |
| Is this faster than calling the Bitfinex REST API myself? | It is a single request to the ticker endpoint with no pagination, so it returns the full market snapshot in one response. The Actor adds filtering, sorting, and structured export on top. |
