About Crypto Quotes
Need live crypto data without the API headaches? This actor is my go-to for pulling real-time quotes. Just feed it a list of symbols, and it fetches the current price, 24h volume, market cap, and other essential metrics you'd normally have to scrape or source from multiple endpoints. I use it to quickly check movements or gather a snapshot for analysis. The best part is it automatically structures the data and pushes it into an Apify dataset. From there, you can download it as CSV or JSON for a spreadsheet, or pipe it directly into another automated workflow or dashboard. It saves me from writing and maintaining my own scripts every time an exchange tweaks its site layout. Whether you're building a portfolio tracker, backtesting a strategy, or just need reliable, formatted data on demand, this handles the heavy lifting so you can focus on the actual trading or development work.
