CoinMarketCap Scraper for Crypto Price and Market Data

CoinMarketCap ranks tens of thousands of coins across hundreds of exchanges. We collect the price, market cap, volume and trading pair tables it publishes, on the schedule you set.

How We Run a CoinMarketCap Scraping Project

You send a coin list, or ask for the whole ranked universe, and name the tabs you need. ScrapeIt builds a dedicated crawler with parsing logic written for CoinMarketCap, runs it on your cadence and returns a sample before the full pass. Anti-bot handling, proxy rotation and CAPTCHA solving are part of the service, not an extra line on the invoice.

Coverage is planned from the coin address list rather than by walking the ranking table, because that table paginates in hundreds and draws itself in the browser. Frequency is an agreement, not a claim of live data: crypto moves every second, and any dataset is a series of snapshots taken at the interval you choose. Minutes, hours or once a day - we set it, hold it and stamp every row with the moment it was taken.

What the CoinMarketCap Scraper Extracts From Each Coin Page

A coin page carries a fixed block of fields. We take them as published, with no renaming and no derived columns:

  • Price and rank - the reference price in USD or any listed fiat, the CoinMarketCap rank, and the separate volume rank.
  • Market cap - market cap, defined on the site as price times circulating supply, plus fully diluted market cap, which is price times max supply.
  • Supply - circulating supply, total supply and max supply, each carrying the flag that says whether the CoinMarketCap team verified the figure or the project self-reported it. Self-reported market cap is a separate field and must never be merged into the verified one.
  • Volume - 24 hour volume split into centralized and decentralized parts, seven day and thirty day volume, and the reported volume that exchanges claim alongside the adjusted figure the ranking actually uses. On major assets the two differ several times over.
  • Change - one hour, 24 hour, seven day, thirty day, sixty day, ninety day, one year, year to date and all time percentage moves.
  • Range - high and low over 24 hours, seven days, thirty days, ninety days and 52 weeks, plus all time high and all time low with the timestamp of each.
  • Dominance - the share of total crypto market cap held by the asset, and the volume to market cap turnover ratio.
  • Profile - tags such as Mineable, PoW, Layer 1 or Store Of Value, category memberships, launch date, and the website, whitepaper, explorer, source code and social links.
  • Holders - holder count, daily active addresses and the share held by the top ten, twenty, fifty and hundred wallets, wherever the site publishes them.

Output is CSV, Excel, JSON or whatever format your pipeline prefers. Every row carries the slug, the numeric id, the quote currency and the capture timestamp, because CoinMarketCap price data with no capture time cannot be reconciled against anything later.

CoinMarketCap Exchange Data, Trading Pairs and Price History

CoinMarketCap Exchange Data, Trading Pairs and Price History

Exchanges and pairs. The markets tab is the richest cross section on the site and the one no single quote can replace. A major asset trades in thousands of pairs, and each row carries the exchange, the pair such as BTC/USDT, the pair category - spot, perpetual or futures - the venue price, 24 hour volume in USD, volume share, plus 2 percent and minus 2 percent order book depth, the liquidity score, the confidence indicator that grades reported volume on a zero to a hundred scale, and flags for outlier price or excluded volume. One coin, dozens of venues, dozens of prices: that spread is the dataset.

Exchange profiles. A venue page publishes spot, perpetual and futures volume, derivatives open interest, maker and taker fees, the supported fiat list, launch date and reserve figures. Ranking screens add exchange score, average liquidity, weekly visits, number of markets and number of coins.

History. The historical data tab yields daily open, high, low, close, volume, market cap and circulating supply per asset, and the weekly snapshot archive currently reaches back to April 2013 with the whole ranking table as it stood that day. Around seven hundred snapshots exist, which is a clean backbone for rebuilding rank and dominance over time.

Beyond coins. Category and tag screens, real world asset pages, derivatives and liquidation boards, and DEX pair data all sit on the same domain under the same identifiers.

CoinMarketCap as a Cryptocurrency Market Data Source

CoinMarketCap is an aggregator, not a venue. It pulls quotes from centralized and decentralized exchanges, weights them, and publishes one reference price per asset next to market cap, circulating supply and 24 hour volume. Nothing trades on it, and the site says as much itself: its terms state that the content is strictly for informational purposes and is not investment advice.

The address plan is stable and easy to plan against. Every asset sits at /currencies/{slug}/, with tabs for markets, historical data, news and community hanging off it. Behind the slug is a numeric id that survives renames - Bitcoin is id 1 - so a project changing its name shows up as a new slug, not a lost row. Exchanges live at /exchanges/{slug}/, sector and tag screens at /view/{tag}/, weekly archives at /historical/{YYYYMMDD}/, and unit converters at /currencies/{slug}/{symbol}/{fiat}/.

Scale, as of September 2026: about 39,600 assets carry a live ranking, roughly 975 exchanges are active, and the site follows about 116,600 individual markets. The coin sitemap alone lists about 38,600 addresses, which is what a coverage plan is built from. Pages are published in around thirty language folders, among them /de/, /es/, /fr/, /ja/, /ko/, /pt-br/, /ru/, /tr/ and /zh-tw/, with the same numeric ids underneath, so a multilingual pull joins back on id and never on name.

When the CoinMarketCap API Is Enough, and When to Scrape

CoinMarketCap runs a real public API, and we would rather say so than sell around it. The free Basic plan covers sixty or more endpoints on roughly 15,000 monthly call credits at 50 requests per minute, refreshes once a minute, converts into one fiat per call and permits commercial use, and a keyless public endpoint lets you inspect responses before you even register. For latest quotes, metadata, categories and global metrics on a modest list of assets, the CoinMarketCap API is the right answer and a crawl would be waste.

The gaps are specific. Market pairs, the exchange by exchange breakdown, sit on the Growth tier. OHLCV, latest and historical, opens on Startup. New listings, trending, gainers and losers, most visited, exchange rankings and exchange quotes all sit above the free line. Daily quote history on Basic reaches one year and intraday history one month; full depth back to the earliest listings belongs to the paid tiers. Credits decide as much as endpoints do: a nightly sweep of the whole ranked universe in several fiats burns a free allowance before lunch.

The license is the other half of the honest answer. CoinMarketCap terms of use forbid data mining, crawling, scraping and similar automated collection unless the company authorizes it, and describe the service as personal and non-commercial without a separate agreement. Those are their words, not our reading. We are not lawyers and this is not legal advice, so put a commercial or redistributive use in front of your own counsel first.

Working With ScrapeIt on CoinMarketCap Data

ScrapeIt runs the CoinMarketCap scraper as a managed service. We build, run and repair the crawlers, and you receive files or an endpoint. There is nothing to install on your side and no infrastructure to keep alive.

We publish no signals, no forecasts and no trading calls, and we do not collect personal information about individuals - wallet owners, community posters or anyone else. We deliver market data. What you conclude from it is your work, and when a licensed feed is the safer route for your use case we will say so.

FAQ

Does CoinMarketCap have a public API, and what is free?

Yes, and it is a good one. The free Basic plan gives sixty or more endpoints, roughly 15,000 call credits a month, 50 requests per minute, a sixty second refresh, one fiat conversion per call and permission for commercial use, and a keyless public endpoint lets you test responses before registering. What Basic does not include: market pairs by exchange, OHLCV latest and historical, new listings, trending and gainers boards, exchange rankings and exchange quotes. Daily history on the free plan stops at one year. Those gaps, plus the credit ceiling, are the usual reasons people ask us to scrape CoinMarketCap instead.

What CoinMarketCap data can you extract from a coin page?

Price in your chosen fiat, rank and volume rank, market cap and fully diluted market cap, circulating, total and max supply with the verified or self-reported flag, 24 hour volume split between centralized and decentralized venues, reported against adjusted volume, percentage change over one hour, 24 hours, seven days and longer windows, highs and lows including all time high and all time low with timestamps, market dominance, turnover, tags and categories, launch date, holder counts, and the website, whitepaper, explorer and source code links. Every row is stamped with the slug, the numeric id and the capture time.

Can you collect exchange listings and trading pairs for a coin?

Yes, and that is where a CoinMarketCap scraper usually pays for itself. The markets tab lists every tracked pair for an asset with the exchange name, the pair, the category of spot, perpetual or futures, the price on that venue, 24 hour volume and volume share, order book depth at plus and minus 2 percent, liquidity score and confidence indicator. A single large coin can carry more than twelve thousand pairs across categories, which is how price dispersion between venues becomes measurable rather than anecdotal.

How often is CoinMarketCap price data refreshed, and in what formats?

On whatever cadence you set: every few minutes for a short watchlist, hourly for a mid sized one, daily for a full sweep of the ranked universe. Crypto quotes move continuously, so no collection is live by definition - each row is a snapshot with a timestamp, and the interval is an agreement we hold to rather than a promise of real time. Delivery is CSV, Excel, JSON or another format that suits your systems, as a scheduled file drop, a bucket we write to, or an endpoint we host and keep current.

Is scraping CoinMarketCap legal?

Their terms of use forbid data mining, crawling, scraping, robots and similar automated collection or extraction unless CoinMarketCap expressly authorizes it, and state that the service is for personal, non-commercial use unless you sign a separate agreement, pointing commercial users to the paid API. Those are their words. We can collect what is published openly, but the decision to run a project and the responsibility for how the data is used stay with you. We are not lawyers and this is not legal advice: check your intended use with your own counsel first.
