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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README # Actor input Schema ## `countries` (type: `array`): Discover the **top trending campaigns** in each selected country (≈50 per country). Use 2-letter country codes — `US`, `GB`, `CA`, `AU`, `IE`, `NZ`, `DE`, `FR`, `ES`, `IT`, `NL`, etc. Leave empty if you only want to scrape specific campaign URLs. ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Optional. Paste individual GoFundMe campaign URLs (`https://www.gofundme.com/f/`) to scrape their full detail. Processed in addition to the trending countries above. ## `includeDetails` (type: `boolean`): Open each campaign page for the full record: complete story text, exact created/published dates, hearts, shares, comment & update counts, organizer profile, beneficiary, charity, category and image. Turn off for a faster, card-only run (title, amount raised, goal, organizer, location, image) straight from the trending feed. Adds one page fetch per campaign. ## `includeDonations` (type: `boolean`): When details are on, also include the most recent donations on each campaign — donor name (or 'Anonymous'), amount, currency, date, and recurring/verified flags. ## `maxDonations` (type: `integer`): Cap on how many recent donations to include per campaign. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Global cap on the total number of campaigns emitted in this run. ## `monitorMode` (type: `boolean`): Remember campaigns already returned and emit ONLY ones that are **new** or whose **amount raised / donation count / status changed** since the last run (tagged `changeType`, with `previousRaised` and `raisedDelta`). Perfect for tracking viral fundraisers and donation velocity. Pairs with Apify Schedules. ## `monitorStoreName` (type: `string`): Named key-value store that holds the 'already seen' campaigns for monitoring mode. Use a different name per tracked feed to keep histories separate (lowercase letters, digits and hyphens). ## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`): Maximum parallel requests. Keep it moderate to stay friendly to GoFundMe's servers. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings. GoFundMe serves clean pages and a public trending API to US datacenter IPs, so the default Apify proxy is recommended. ## Actor input object example ```json { "countries": [ "US" ], "includeDetails": true, "includeDonations": true, "maxDonations": 50, "maxResults": 100, "monitorMode": false, "monitorStoreName": "gofundme-monitor", "maxConcurrency": 5, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyCountry": "US" } } ```` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): All scraped GoFundMe campaigns in the default dataset. Use the Campaigns / Fundraising dataset views to filter the columns. # 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 '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = {}; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("scrapesage/gofundme-scraper").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); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
