Bitstamp Crypto Tickers Scraper

Bitstamp Crypto Tickers Scraper

Scrape live cryptocurrency tickers from Bitstamp, filtered by quote currency and trading status. Each ticker includes last price, 24h volume, bid/ask, and optional daily OHLC candle. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Bitstamp's public API returns raw ticker data, but you need to handle pagination, filtering, and enrichment yourself. This Actor reads the live ticker endpoint directly, lets you filter by quote currency (USD, EUR, BTC, and more) and trading status, then sorts and limits the results before delivering them in one clean dataset. No API key required.

Who uses it	What they scrape Bitstamp for
Crypto traders	Monitor price spreads and 24h volume across Bitstamp pairs to spot entry opportunities.
Market analysts	Track daily OHLC data for technical analysis and charting across multiple quote currencies.
Portfolio managers	Pull last prices and bid/ask for real-time valuation of holdings denominated in different currencies.
Data engineers	Ingest clean, structured ticker data into a data warehouse or pipeline on a schedule.

What it does

This Actor collects live Bitstamp ticker data and returns each trading pair as a flat row with price, volume, and optional daily OHLC.

• 💱 Quote currency filter: Restrict results to pairs quoted in USD, EUR, USDT, BTC, ETH, and more.
• 📊 Trading status filter: Collect only enabled pairs, only disabled pairs, or all.
• 🕯️ Daily OHLC enrichment: Optionally fetch the most recent daily open, high, low, and close for each pair.
• 📈 Sorting control: Order results by 24h volume, percent change, last price, or pair name before limiting.

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

Configure the run

Drive the Actor with quote currency and trading status filters, and optional sorting and OHLC enrichment. Filters run as each ticker is read so only matching pairs reach your dataset. The Input tab lists every parameter.

A first run with the defaults:

{
  "tradingFilter": "Enabled",
  "maxItems": 10,
  "fetchOhlc": false,
  "sortBy": "volume"
}

A larger pull:

{
  "tradingFilter": "Enabled",
  "maxItems": 200,
  "fetchOhlc": false,
  "sortBy": "volume"
}

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check your trading status filter. If it is set to 'Enabled' but you also filtered by a quote currency that has no enabled pairs, you will get an empty dataset. Try setting trading status to 'All' or choosing a different quote currency.

Why is the run slow when I enable OHLC?

OHLC enrichment makes a separate API call for every ticker. If you collect 100 tickers, that is 100 extra requests. Reduce 'Maximum tickers' or disable OHLC if speed is critical.

Why do some tickers have missing OHLC data?

Bitstamp's OHLC endpoint may not have a daily candle yet for very new or very illiquid pairs. The Actor will still return the ticker row, but the OHLC fields will be empty.

Why are my results not sorted?

Make sure you have selected a sort option other than 'No sort (API order)'. The default is 'Volume 24h (desc)', but if you changed it to 'No sort', results will appear in whatever order Bitstamp's API returns them.

I got fewer results than my 'Maximum tickers' setting.

The Actor can only return tickers that exist. If Bitstamp has fewer pairs matching your filters than your maximum, you will get all of them and the run will finish normally.

FAQ

Question	Answer
Do I need a Bitstamp API key?	No. This Actor uses Bitstamp's public ticker endpoint, which does not require authentication.
What data does each ticker row include?	Each row includes the trading pair, last price, bid, ask, 24h volume, 24h high and low, percent change, and timestamp. If you enable OHLC enrichment, it also includes the most recent daily open, high, low, and close.
Can I filter by specific trading pairs?	You filter by quote currency (e.g., USD, EUR, BTC) and trading status (Enabled or Disabled). The Actor does not currently support filtering by individual base currencies.
How does the OHLC enrichment work?	When enabled, the Actor makes a separate call to Bitstamp's OHLC endpoint for each ticker, requesting the most recent daily candle (step=86400, limit=1). This adds open, high, low, and close to the row but makes the run slower.
What does the trading status filter do?	Bitstamp marks pairs as Enabled or Disabled. You can collect only enabled pairs (actively trading), only disabled pairs, or all pairs regardless of status.
How many tickers can I collect in one run?	You set the maximum with the 'Maximum tickers' field, up to 1,000,000. The Actor will stop after collecting that many, after applying your sort order.
Can I schedule this Actor to run automatically?	Yes. You can set up a scheduled run on Apify to pull Bitstamp tickers every minute, hour, or day.
What export formats are supported?	You can export your dataset to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML from the Apify run console.
Does this Actor support WebSocket or real-time streaming?	No. This Actor makes a single HTTP request per run (plus one per pair if OHLC is enabled). It is designed for periodic snapshots, not streaming.
What quote currencies can I filter by?	You can choose from USD, EUR, GBP, USDT, USDC, BTC, ETH, PAX, and PYUSD, or leave it empty to get all pairs.
