## Pricing

from $0.52 / 1,000 news stories

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

**Get CryptoPanic's crypto news as structured data, with zero setup.** Point it at [CryptoPanic](https://cryptopanic.com), pick your coins, and get a clean dataset with every story's headline, summary, source, exact publish time, tagged coins, and how the community voted on it. Turn on monitor mode and it also tracks whether coverage on a coin is speeding up or slowing down, run after run. There is no account to create and no key to lose.

### 🔍 What does this CryptoPanic scraper do?

It collects CryptoPanic's news for each coin you list and merges everything into one de-duplicated dataset. Each story arrives with its headline, a short summary, the publishing source and author, an exact publish timestamp, the coins it was tagged with, and CryptoPanic's own sentiment and panic score where the community has voted. Around half of all stories also carry the full article text.

You can read the plain latest feed or switch to one of CryptoPanic's ranked views such as Rising, Hot, Bullish, or Bearish, and narrow any of them with a keyword.

Turn on monitor mode and every run also returns a signal summary for each coin: how many stories landed, how fast they are arriving compared to that coin's own recent pace, a flag when coverage suddenly doubles, the net bullish versus bearish mood, and which sources are covering it right now.

### 🎯 Why use it?

**You want sentiment data without paying for a second subscription.** Vote counts, panic scores, and coin tags normally sit behind a CryptoPanic account. This Actor collects them without one, so there is no key to request and no separate rate limit to manage.

**You're tracking news across several coins at once.** List BTC, ETH, SOL, or any tickers you follow and get one merged feed. Coverage is spread evenly across your coins, so one busy coin cannot crowd out the rest.

**You want to know when something changes, not just get another dump of rows.** Turn on monitor mode and schedule the run. Only new stories come back each time, and a signal summary flags the moment news on a coin picks up speed.

#### Signal summary example (monitor mode)

Turn on monitor mode and each run adds one extra record per coin, alongside the story rows above:

```json
{
  "recordType": "coinSignal",
  "coin": "BTC",
  "postCount": 42,
  "windowStart": "2026-09-30T14:02:00+00:00",
  "windowEnd": "2026-09-30T18:47:00+00:00",
  "postsPerHour": 8.85,
  "baselinePostsPerHour": 4.1,
  "velocityRatio": 2.16,
  "newsVelocitySpike": true,
  "bullishVotes": 61,
  "bearishVotes": 19,
  "importantVotes": 14,
  "netVoteRatio": 0.53,
  "meanPanicScore1h": 3.2,
  "maxPanicScore1h": 9,
  "topDomains": ["coindesk.com", "cointelegraph.com", "decrypt.co"],
  "scrapedAt": "2026-09-30T18:47:32.279Z"
}
```

`baselinePostsPerHour` and `velocityRatio` are set to `null` until a watchlist has a prior run to compare against, so the first run under a new watchlist name reports them as null rather than guessing.

You can download the dataset in various formats such as JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel.

### 💡 Tips

- Leave "Coins" empty for the broadest sweep of everything CryptoPanic is publishing right now.
- Use the Bullish and Bearish feeds together to see both sides of the same story cycle for a coin.
- If you want sentiment data, pick a ranked feed. On Rising, nearly every story arrives with vote counts and a panic score, because that feed is ordered by how people voted. On Latest you get the freshest stories, but many are too new for anyone to have voted on yet.
- Ranked feeds also carry full article text more often, so choose Rising or Hot if the article body matters to you.
- Schedule an hourly run and keep only new story IDs if you are building an alert feed.
- Give each coin its own watchlist name in monitor mode if you run them on separate schedules, so their new-story tracking and velocity baselines never mix.

### ❓ FAQ

**Do I need a CryptoPanic account or API key?**
No. This Actor reads CryptoPanic's public news feed, so there is no account, no key, and no sign-up.

**Can I get vote counts and sentiment scores?**
Yes. Community sentiment, panic score, vote breakdowns, and coin tags are all included, with no API key needed.

**Why do some stories have no full article text?**
CryptoPanic only holds the full body for publishers that share it, which is roughly half of all stories. The rest are link posts where only a headline and summary were published. Requesting those stories individually does not add the text, so this is a limit of what CryptoPanic has rather than of this Actor.

**Why do some stories have no panic score or votes?**
Those values only exist once enough people have voted on a story, so very recent items often have none. This Actor never fills in placeholder values, so the field is simply left out when CryptoPanic has not published it.

**Will I get duplicate articles if I list overlapping coins?**
No. Stories are de-duplicated across every coin in the run, so an article tagged with both BTC and ETH is stored once.

**How far back can it go?**
Each coin feed goes back several hundred stories. Raise "Max items" to collect more, or schedule regular runs to build history over time.

**Can I use this to monitor coins over time, instead of pulling data once?**
Yes. Turn on "Only new stories since last run," give it a watchlist name, and schedule the run. Each run returns just the new stories, plus a signal summary showing whether coverage on that coin is speeding up, slowing down, or holding steady.

**What is the signal summary record?**
One extra row per coin on every run, separate from the story rows and marked accordingly. It reports how many stories came in, how that compares to the coin's own recent pace, a flag when coverage more than doubles, and the overall bullish versus bearish mood.

# Changelog

This Actor's version history is a separate document: https://apify.com/getascraper/cryptopanic-news-scraper/changelog.md

# Actor input Schema

## `currencies` (type: `array`):

Coin tickers to collect news for, for example BTC, ETH, SOL. Each coin is collected separately and the results are merged and de-duplicated. Leave empty for the general news feed.

## `newsFilter` (type: `string`):

Latest is the plain chronological feed with no ranking. The rest are CryptoPanic's own community-driven categories: Rising and Hot rank by recent voting activity, while Bullish, Bearish, Important, and LOL rank by which reaction got the most votes on each post.

## `searchQuery` (type: `string`):

Optional keyword filter on top of the selected feed, for example "ETF" or "halving". Leave empty to collect everything in that feed.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of unique stories to collect across all coins in this run.

## `onlyNew` (type: `boolean`):

Skip stories already collected in a previous run under the same watchlist name. Use this for a recurring schedule so you never pay for or receive the same story twice.

## `stateName` (type: `string`):

Only used with "Only new stories since last run". Runs sharing the same name track new-story state together; use different names for independent schedules (for example separate watchlists per coin).

## `requestDelayMs` (type: `integer`):

Pause between requests. Raise this if a very large run starts getting rate limited.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Datacenter proxies (the default) are cheap and work for CryptoPanic. Switch to Residential only if a very large run starts getting blocked.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "currencies": [
    "BTC",
    "ETH"
