Decrypt Crypto News Finder by Category & Keyword

Decrypt publishes crypto, Web3, AI, policy and market news across a deep archive and five languages. This actor searches that archive by keyword, browses 47 categories, tags, 121 coins or authors, looks up specific articles by ID or URL, and returns full article records with HTML and plain text, TL;DR bullets, editors, author profiles, images, taxonomy and reading metrics. No account, cookies or proxy setup is required.

What this actor does

Seven modes: keyword search, browse by category, lookup by ID/URL, latest articles, browse by tag, browse by coin and browse by author
Deep archive access with server-side date ranges, newest/oldest/relevance sorting and up to 10,000 articles per run
Full article data: HTML body, plain-text body, TL;DR, editors, author bios and social profiles, tags, coins, collections, distinctions and images
Five locales: English, Spanish, French, Arabic and Simplified Chinese, with the correct localized article URL
Batch lookups: paste article IDs or decrypt.co URLs, including localized and /resources/ links
Scheduled monitoring: onlyNew skips articles returned by earlier runs
Empty fields are omitted from every record instead of being returned as null

Example: keyword search with relevance and a date window

{
  "mode": "search",
  "searchQuery": "etf inflows",
  "sortBy": "relevance",
  "dateRangeFrom": "2026-01-01",
  "dateRangeTo": "2026-03-31",
  "locale": "en",
  "maxItems": 200
}

Example: browse a category in Spanish without article bodies

{
  "mode": "browseByCategory",
  "category": "markets",
  "locale": "es",
  "includeContent": false,
  "maxItems": 100
}

Example: look up a mixed batch of IDs and URLs

{
  "mode": "byId",
  "articleIds": [
    "382316",
    "https://decrypt.co/373492/bitcoin-64000-inflacion-ipc-junio-fed-tasas-interes",
    "https://decrypt.co/resources/what-is-eip-7702-the-ethereum-upgrade-behind-the-6-4b-binance-hack"
  ]
}

Example: monitor one coin for new stories

{
  "mode": "byCoin",
  "coinSlugs": ["solana"],
  "dateRangeFrom": "2026-10-01",
  "onlyNew": true,
  "sortBy": "newest",
  "maxItems": 50
}

Use cases

FAQ

Is this affiliated with Decrypt? No. This is an independent, third-party actor that reads publicly available Decrypt article pages and feeds. It is not operated by or affiliated with Decrypt.

Do I need an account, API key or cookie? No. The actor runs without credentials and without proxy configuration.

Does it return full article text or just a summary? Both. content is the complete HTML body and contentText is a plain-text version. excerpt, blurb and the TL;DR fields are also included when the article has them.

Why are some fields missing from a record? Not every article has a coin, collection, distinction, editor, TL;DR or video. Fields with no value are omitted rather than returned empty or null. Decrypt's coin filter can also match stories whose article record has no explicit coin relation, so a byCoin run may include rows without coins or coinSlugs; the actor reports the article honestly instead of inventing a coin.

What do tagSlugs, coinSlugs and authorSlugs expect? Tag and author filters use the slugs returned in each record, not display names. Coin filters accept slugs plus common names and ticker symbols, which are mapped to slugs automatically.

How fresh is the data, and is trending a real trend signal? The archive is read live at run time. trending is the legacy name for the newest-first mode; it returns the latest published articles, not a proprietary popularity score.

How many articles can one run return? Up to 10,000 with maxItems. The source exposes a very large archive; for very broad queries, split the work by date range or category to keep each run focused.

Do localized articles have working URLs? Yes. sourceUrl and canonicalUrl use the article's own locale path, including /es/, /fr/, /ar/ and /zh-hans/.

Are sentiment scores or AI analysis included? No. Those values are not published by the source, and the actor does not fabricate them. Use contentText or tldrText with your own analysis pipeline.

Can I run this on a schedule? Yes. Set onlyNew to true and the actor will skip article IDs returned by earlier runs, so each scheduled run returns only unseen stories.

Python quickstart

Use a schema-derived input and the Python standard library to start a run. An Apify account and token are required for execution.
