FAQs

Q: Do I need cookies, an API key, or a proxy? A: No. The actor works directly from datacenter IPs via TLS impersonation (curl_cffi Chrome 131). If Indiegogo's Cloudflare blocks your run, the actor automatically escalates to Apify Proxy (RESIDENTIAL on second block).

Q: Why don't I see updates / comments? A: Indiegogo loads its Updates and Comments tabs via XHR after the campaign page renders, so neither the SSR HTML nor a public API exposes them. The actor surfaces the tab URLs (tabUrls.updates, tabUrls.comments) so you can navigate to them in a browser, but it does not paginate update/comment content. Story HTML, goal, raised, backers, dates, creator, category and stretch-goals are all returned.

Q: What does "InDemand" mean? A: After a campaign closes, the creator can re-list the product on Indiegogo's InDemand marketplace for ongoing pre-orders. We expose this via status=in_demand and phase=40.

Q: Why does currencyCode sometimes differ from currencySymbol? A: Some campaigns are listed in currencies whose symbol overlaps with USD ($ for USD, AUD, CAD, HKD). The numeric currencyCode is the authoritative ISO code.

Q: How many results per page? A: Indiegogo's search/discover endpoint returns 12-24 cards per page; the actor paginates automatically up to maxItems.

Q: Can I filter by language / country? A: Indiegogo does not expose locale-based filters in search. The actor ships English (/en/projects/search) by default. Add language / country to your input to request — currently the upstream API doesn't support it.

Q: Why does my run sometimes return zero records? A: The most likely cause is an over-restrictive filter combo (e.g., minBackers=10000 + minRaised=1000000 + fundedOnly=true). Try with fewer filters first, then narrow.

Limitations

• Updates / comments are not extracted (XHR-rendered, no SSR data; see FAQ above).
• Campaign rewards are summarised on the detail page but not paginated separately — the actor returns whatever is in the SSR.
• Currency conversion is not performed — fundsGathered is in the campaign's native currency.
• Cloudflare blocks are auto-escalated to Apify Proxy; if RESIDENTIAL is also blocked the run will surface a typed error record per failed URL.
