What this robot does

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.

This CoinMarketCap scraper extracts the full listing from any category page: crypto category, coin name, ticker, current price, market cap, 24-hour trading volume, price changes across 1-hour, 24-hour, and 7-day periods, position ranking, and circulating supply. Point it at any CoinMarketCap category and get sector-level market data in a spreadsheet, not a browser tab.

What automated CoinMarketCap category extraction delivers:

  • ✓ Complete category listings - every coin in a CoinMarketCap sector with price, market cap, and volume data - captured in structured columns.
  • ✓ 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.

Is this CoinMarketCap scraper free?
Browse AI's free tier includes credits to run this robot at no cost. Sign up without a credit card and start extracting crypto market data immediately.

Can I export crypto data to Google Sheets?
Yes. Browse AI's Google Sheets integration auto-appends results from each run. Your crypto market tracker updates automatically with fresh data on every extraction.

Crypto analysis gets sharper when you combine CoinMarketCap categories with data from exchanges and individual coin profiles:

  • CoinMarketCap full list scraper - Extract the main CoinMarketCap rankings page - all coins by market cap, not filtered by category. Use for overall market analysis.
  • CoinMarketCap coin details scraper - After identifying interesting coins through category extraction, pull the full detail page for individual tokens - description, links, historical data.
  • Binance coins scraper - Compare CoinMarketCap data with live Binance exchange data. Cross-reference prices and volumes across the aggregator and the exchange.
