Overview

ParseForge

Crypto Market Intelligence Scraper

Scrape live and historical crypto coin data, dApp rankings, and precious metal prices from four market intelligence sources in one run. Every record returns price, volume, market cap, and source-specific metrics. No API key required. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Crypto market data is scattered across CoinMarketCap, CoinGecko, DappRadar, and niche APIs, each with its own rate limits and registration hurdles. This Actor queries CryptoCompare, DappRadar, LBMA, and Nomics directly through their public feeds, normalizes the results, and hands you a single dataset. You get coin prices, dApp rankings, and precious metal benchmarks without juggling multiple scrapers or API keys.

Who uses it What they scrape CryptoCompare, DappRadar, LBMA, and Nomics for
Crypto traders Monitor price movements and volume across multiple coins in one pull.
DeFi analysts Track which dApps are gaining or losing users and volume week over week.
Market researchers Compare crypto asset performance against traditional safe havens like gold and silver.
Portfolio managers Feed a unified market snapshot into risk models or dashboards.

What it does

This Actor collects crypto coin metrics, decentralized application rankings, and precious metal prices from four bundled sources and returns each record as a flat row.

  • ๐Ÿ” Free-text search: pass a coin name or symbol to filter results across sources that support it.
  • ๐Ÿ“Š Multi-source bundling: pick any combination of CryptoCompare, DappRadar, LBMA, and Nomics, or leave all selected to query everything.
  • โฑ๏ธ Live and historical snapshots: each run pulls the latest available data from every chosen source at that moment.
  • ๐Ÿ“ฆ Flat row output: every record lands in your dataset with a consistent schema, ready for analysis or export.

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

What you can do with CryptoCompare, DappRadar, LBMA, and Nomics data

๐Ÿ“ˆ Build a crypto market dashboard.

A data engineer runs the Actor hourly with all four sources selected, pipes the CSV into a BI tool, and updates a live dashboard of coin prices, dApp activity, and metal benchmarks.

๐Ÿช™ Screen coins by volume and market cap.

A trader passes a search term like 'layer-1' and pulls only CryptoCompare and Nomics records to filter for high-liquidity assets before opening a position.

๐Ÿ“Š Compare DeFi protocols week over week.

A DeFi analyst scrapes DappRadar rankings every Monday, diffs the user and volume columns, and spots which protocols are gaining traction.

๐Ÿฅ‡ Hedge crypto against precious metals.

A portfolio manager runs LBMA alongside the crypto sources, exports the combined dataset, and calculates correlations between Bitcoin and gold prices.

Configure the run

Drive the Actor with an optional search term and a selection of sources, and cap the total records returned across all sources with a single limit. The Input tab lists every parameter.

A first run with the defaults:

{
  "sources": [
    "cryptocompare-coins",
    "dappradar-rankings",
    "lbma-precious-metals",
    "nomics-crypto"
  ],
  "maxItems": 10
}

A larger pull:

{
  "sources": [
    "cryptocompare-coins",
    "dappradar-rankings",
    "lbma-precious-metals",
    "nomics-crypto"
  ],
  "maxItems": 200
}

Use with AI agents (MCP)

claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=parseforge/crypto-market-intelligence-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 search term. If it is too specific or misspelled, the sources may return nothing. Try running without a search term and with all sources selected to confirm data is flowing.

Why did I only get 10 records?

Free Apify accounts are limited to 10 records per run. Upgrade to a paid plan and increase the Maximum records setting to pull more data.

One of the sources returned an error or empty data.

Public feeds can occasionally be unavailable. Re-run the Actor after a few minutes. If the issue persists, try deselecting that source and running the others.

The search term does not seem to filter DappRadar results.

Not every source supports free-text search in the same way. DappRadar may return broader rankings. Use the exported dataset to filter dApp names locally if needed.

My run timed out.

Lower the Maximum records value. Requesting a very large number of records across all four sources can take time. Start with a smaller cap and increase it gradually.

FAQ

Question Answer
Do I need API keys for any of these sources? No. The Actor reads the public feeds each source exposes without authentication, so you do not need to register an app or manage keys.
Which sources are included? CryptoCompare for coin prices and market data, DappRadar for decentralized application rankings, LBMA for precious metal fixings, and Nomics for additional crypto asset metrics.
Can I scrape only one source? Yes. Use the Sources selector to pick a single source, or any combination, and the Actor will query only those.
How many records can I get in one run? Free accounts are capped at 10 records total. Paid accounts can request up to 1,000,000 records, applied as a global limit across all selected sources.
What does the search term filter? It passes your free-text query to each source that supports search, filtering coin names, symbols, or dApp names before results are counted against your maxItems limit.
How fresh is the data? Every run fetches the latest available snapshot from each source at that moment. The Actor does not cache or serve historical data beyond what the source itself returns.
What export formats are supported? You can export your dataset to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML directly from the Apify platform.
Does this Actor cover NFT data? The DappRadar source includes dApp rankings that may cover NFT marketplaces, but the Actor does not have a dedicated NFT collection endpoint.
Can I schedule this Actor to run automatically? Yes. Apify supports scheduled runs, so you can set it to pull data hourly, daily, or on any cron schedule you need.
Is the output schema the same for every source? Yes. Every record, regardless of source, is normalized into a single flat schema so you can merge and compare data without extra transformation.
