Overview

CoinMarketCap scraper extracts coin prices, market caps, volumes, rankings, and price changes. No code needed.

CoinMarketCap Category Coins

CoinMarketCap organizes thousands of cryptocurrencies into categories - DeFi, Layer 1, Gaming, NFTs, Meme Coins, and hundreds more. These category pages are valuable for understanding which sectors of the crypto market are growing, which are losing steam, and where new projects are launching. But there is no export button on CoinMarketCap's category pages, and copying data for dozens of coins manually is not realistic for serious analysis.

What it extracts

  • Crypto Category — The sector or category classification (e.g., DeFi, Layer 1, Gaming).
  • Currency Name — The full name of the cryptocurrency.
  • Symbol — The trading ticker symbol (e.g., BTC, ETH, SOL).
  • Price — The current price at the time of extraction.
  • Market Cap — The total market capitalization of the coin.
  • Trading Volume — The total trading volume metric for the coin.
  • 24h Volume Dollar — The total trading volume in USD over the last 24 hours.
  • 24h Volume Coin — The total trading volume in coin units over the last 24 hours.
  • Position — The position or rank within the category listing.
  • Ranking — The overall ranking of the cryptocurrency.
  • 1 Hour Status — The price movement direction over the last 1 hour.
  • 1 Hour Value — The percentage price change over the last 1 hour.
  • 24 Hours Status — The price movement direction over the last 24 hours.
  • 24 Hours Value — The percentage price change over the last 24 hours.
  • 7 Days Status — The price movement direction over the last 7 days.
  • 7 Days Value — The percentage price change over the last 7 days.
  • Coin Market Cap — The market cap value for the individual coin.
  • Circulating Supply — The number of coins currently in circulation.

What you can do with it

  • Sector comparison by extracting multiple categories and analyzing which crypto segments have the most market cap, highest trading volume, or fastest growth.
  • Automated market monitoring through scheduled extractions that track category performance daily or weekly.
  • Clean data feeds into your portfolio tracker, trading tools, or research dashboards through Sheets, Airtable, or API integrations.

Frequently asked questions

What is a CoinMarketCap scraper?

A CoinMarketCap scraper extracts structured cryptocurrency data from CoinMarketCap pages. This robot specifically targets category pages, capturing crypto categories, coin names, symbols, prices, market caps, trading volumes, position rankings, and multi-timeframe price changes for every token in a sector, making it easy to analyze crypto markets in a spreadsheet.

How is this different from the CoinMarketCap API?

The CoinMarketCap API requires a subscription for most endpoints and has rate limits. This robot extracts data directly from the website without API credentials, quotas, or monthly fees beyond Browse AI's free tier.

Can I scrape multiple CoinMarketCap categories?

Yes. Queue multiple category page URLs and all coin data flows into one dataset. This is how users build comprehensive crypto market maps across DeFi, Layer 1, Gaming, and other sectors.

Can I track category performance over time?

Yes. Schedule the robot to run daily or weekly on the same categories. Each run captures current prices, market caps, volumes, and price changes, building a historical dataset for trend analysis.
