Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

Extract active projects with funding progress, donor counts, organization details, themes, countries, and more. ### Features - **Browse all active projects** — get the full catalog of live fundraising projects - **Search by theme** — filter by cause areas like Education, Health, Climate Change, Water & Sanitation, and more - **Search by country** — find projects in a specific country using ISO alpha-3 codes - **Project details** — fetch specific projects by their GlobalGiving project IDs ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `mode` | select | `browseProjects`, `searchByTheme`, `searchByCountry`, `projectDetails` | | `theme` | select | Cause theme (for `searchByTheme` mode) | | `country` | string | ISO alpha-3 country code, e.g. `KEN`, `IND`, `USA` | | `projectIds` | array | Project IDs (for `projectDetails` mode) | | `maxItems` | integer | Maximum number of projects to return (default: 20) | #### Available Themes `animals`, `arts-music-culture`, `children`, `climate-change`, `democracy-and-government`, `education`, `environment`, `food-and-hunger`, `gender-equality-and-women`, `health-and-wellness`, `human-rights`, `migrant-and-refugee`, `poverty-alleviation`, `sport`, `technology`, `water-and-sanitation` ### Output Each project record includes: | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `projectId` | GlobalGiving project ID | | `title` | Project title | | `summary` | Project description | | `organization` | Nonprofit organization name | | `organizationUrl` | Organization website | | `country` | Country where project operates | | `region` | Geographic region | | `theme` | Primary cause theme | | `themes` | All cause themes | | `goal` | Fundraising goal (USD) | | `raised` | Amount raised so far (USD) | | `donorsCount` | Number of donors | | `active` | Whether project is actively fundraising | | `imageUrl` | Project image URL | | `projectUrl` | GlobalGiving project page URL | | `currency` | Currency code | | `status` | Project status | | `startDate` | Project start date | | `scrapedAt` | ISO timestamp of scrape | ### Example Input ```json { "mode": "searchByTheme", "theme": "education", "maxItems": 50 } ```` ### Example Output ```json { "projectId": 12345, "title": "Education for Girls in Kenya", "organization": "Kenya Education Fund", "country": "Kenya", "theme": "Education", "goal": 50000, "raised": 32500, "donorsCount": 412, "active": true, "projectUrl": "https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/12345/", "scrapedAt": "2026-06-02T10:00:00+00:00" } ``` ### FAQs **Do I need an API key?** No. The scraper uses GlobalGiving's public API endpoint which does not require authentication. **What countries are supported?** GlobalGiving has projects in 170+ countries. Use ISO alpha-3 country codes (e.g., `USA`, `KEN`, `IND`, `GTM`, `ETH`). **How many projects can I scrape?** Set `maxItems` up to 5000. GlobalGiving hosts thousands of active projects. **Are the funding figures real-time?** Yes, the GlobalGiving API returns current funding totals as of the time of scraping. **What's the difference between `goal` and `raised`?** `goal` is the total fundraising target; `raised` is the amount collected so far. # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): What to scrape from GlobalGiving. ## `theme` (type: `string`): Filter projects by theme/cause area. ## `country` (type: `string`): ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country code, e.g. USA, KEN, IND, GTM. ## `projectIds` (type: `array`): GlobalGiving project IDs to fetch details for. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of projects to return. ## Actor input object example ```json { "mode": "browseProjects", "theme": "education", "country": "KEN", "projectIds": [], "maxItems": 20 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `projects` (type: `string`): Dataset containing all scraped GlobalGiving projects. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
