Proxy: use the configured Apify proxy (residential by default) from the first request with per-retry IP rotation, instead of starting "direct" on Apify's (Kickstarter-blocked) datacenter IPs. Fixes slow runs / blocks / 5-minute auto-test timeouts.
Billing: pay-per-event charging is now best-effort and never fatal โ a missing/unconfigured row_result event no longer errors the run (was a cause of the actor being auto-flagged "under maintenance").
Parsing: more robust window.current_project extraction (correctly handles project text containing a quote followed by a semicolon).
0.1 โ Initial release
Scrape Kickstarter projects from project, category, place, profile and /discover/advanced URLs, or purely from the filter fields (query, category, location, status, pledged, goal, raised, sort).
Full project enrichment: rewards, add-ons, items, add-on support, and full creator profiles (biography, websites, avatar, last login).
Browser TLS impersonation via curl_cffi to clear Cloudflare without a headless browser.
Escalating, sticky proxy ladder: direct โ datacenter โ residential, with 3 residential retries.
Live dataset saving (each project is pushed as soon as it is ready).
