# Indiegogo Scraper — campaigns with currency kept honest (`entrogix_works/indiegogo-projects`) Actor

Scrape Indiegogo discovery results. One row per campaign with backers, followers, funds raised, days left, and which platform actually hosts it. Amounts keep their own currency and are never summed across campaigns. Unofficial; not affiliated with Indiegogo.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Indiegogo Scraper — campaigns with currency kept honest

Browse or search Indiegogo and get one row per campaign: backers, followers, funds raised, days left — and **which platform actually hosts it**, because the Indiegogo explore page does not only show Indiegogo campaigns.

### Two things this Actor will not let you get wrong

**Amounts are in each campaign's own currency, and this Actor does not convert them.** A single page of results carried `HK$`, `$` and `€` side by side in testing. So `pledgedAmount` and `pledgedCurrency` are separate fields, nothing is summed, and the run summary raises `currencyWarning` when more than one currency appears. **Do not add these numbers together without converting first** — an average across mixed currencies is a number with no meaning.

**Not every campaign on the page is an Indiegogo campaign.** Of 24 results in testing, **7 were hosted on gamefound.com**. They are left in — dropping them would understate what the page shows — but every row carries `platform`, and the summary counts by it. Treat "Indiegogo results" and "Indiegogo campaigns" as different things.

### What you get per campaign

| Field | Example |
|---|---|
| `title` | `HOVERAir VERSA: This Pocket Camera Can Fly` |
| `phase` | `Express crowdfunding` |
| `backers`, `followers` | `461`, `1700` — `1.7k` is parsed to a number |
| `pledgedAmount`, `pledgedCurrency` | `2836002`, `HK$` |
| `pledgedRaw` | `HK$2,836,002` — the original string is kept |
| `daysLeft`, `timeLeftRaw` | `55`, `55 days left` |
| `platform` | `indiegogo.com` or `gamefound.com` |
| `projectId`, `url` | direct link with tracking parameters stripped |

Some cards show a phrase instead of an amount — `goal reached in 19 minutes`. Those get `pledgedAmount: null` and keep the phrase in `pledgedRaw`, rather than being coerced into a zero.

### What this Actor does not return

**Nothing about the creator.** Indiegogo creators are frequently individuals; the card exposes a creator name and this Actor drops it. No campaign images either.

### Input

```json
{
  "term": "",
  "sort": "trending",
  "timing": "all",
  "maxItems": 24
}
```

Leave `term` empty to browse. The explore page renders about 24 cards, so that is the practical ceiling for one run. You are charged **per campaign returned**.

### Summary (key-value store, `SEARCH_SUMMARY`)

`totalProjects`, `totalBackers`, **`byPlatform`**, **`currenciesSeen`**, **`currencyWarning`**, `projectsWithoutAmount`, plus the query you ran.

### Limits, stated plainly

- The explore page is rendered in the browser, so this Actor runs a real browser and is slower than an HTTP scraper.
- There is no pagination here: one run reads one page of results.
- `followers` and `backers` are shown abbreviated on the card (`1.7k`), so they are precise to the site's own rounding, not to the unit.

# Actor input Schema

## `term` (type: `string`):

Optional keyword. Leave empty to browse everything in the chosen ordering.

## `sort` (type: `string`):

Indiegogo's own ordering of the results.

## `timing` (type: `string`):

Which stage of campaign to include.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

The explore page renders about 24 cards. You are charged per campaign returned.

## `minIntervalMs` (type: `integer`):

Pacing safeguard. A normal run makes one request.

## `useProxy` (type: `boolean`):

Leave this on.

## `proxyType` (type: `string`):

Datacenter is enough in practice.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "term": "",
  "sort": "trending",
  "timing": "all",
  "maxItems": 24,
  "minIntervalMs": 3000,
  "useProxy": true,
  "proxyType": "DATACENTER"
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `results` (type: `string`):

Every campaign this run produced, as JSON.

## `summary` (type: `string`):

Counts by hosting platform, which currencies appeared, and a warning if more than one did.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("entrogix_works/indiegogo-projects").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("entrogix_works/indiegogo-projects").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call entrogix_works/indiegogo-projects --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,entrogix_works/indiegogo-projects"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
