## What's an Apify Actor?

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

## Kickstarter Scraper 🚀

Extract **rich, structured data** from [Kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com) at scale — funding numbers, rewards, add-ons, items, creator profiles, categories, locations and more. Point it at project pages, categories, places, creator profiles or a `/discover/advanced` search, or just set the filters and let it crawl.

No login, no headless browser — the scraper impersonates a real browser's TLS fingerprint to sail past Cloudflare, so it's fast and cheap.

---

### ✨ Why choose this scraper?

- **🧱 Complete records** — not just the search summary. Every project is enriched with rewards, add-ons, items, add-on support and the full creator profile (biography, websites, avatar).
- **🔗 Flexible input** — project / category / place / profile / discover URLs **or** human-friendly filters (category, location, status, pledged, goal, raised, sort).
- **🛡️ Smart proxy ladder** — starts with no proxy and only escalates to **datacenter** then **residential** if Kickstarter blocks you, then sticks with residential. You never overpay for proxies you don't need.
- **💾 Live results** — every project is saved the moment it's scraped, so a long run never loses work.
- **🗂️ Four ready-made views** — Overview, Funding, Creators, and Rewards & Add-ons.

### 📤 Output

Each dataset item is the full Kickstarter project object, with a top-level `url` and an enriched `creator`. A few flat helper fields (`projectName`, `categoryName`, `creatorName`, `percentFunded`, `photoUrl`, …) are added so the table views render nicely — the complete nested data is always preserved.

```jsonc
{
  "url": "https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/infiniform/sci-fi-desert-relay-tower-complex...",
  "id": 933356486,
  "name": "Sci-fi Desert - Relay Tower Complex - 3D Printable STL Files",
  "blurb": "3D Printable Pieces for Wargames, Tabletop RPGs & Boardgames...",
  "goal": 100.0,
  "pledged": 729.0,
  "state": "successful",
  "backers_count": 35,
  "currency": "USD",
  "category": { "name": "Tabletop Games", "slug": "games/tabletop games", "parent_name": "Games" },
  "location": { "displayable_name": "Walla Walla, WA" },
  "creator": { "name": "InfiniForm", "biography": "...", "websites": [], "url": "..." },

***

### 🤖 Use via API

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/<ACTOR_ID>/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{
       "category": "games/tabletop games",
       "status": "Successful",
       "maxResults": 10,
       "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] }
     }'
```

***

### 💡 Best use cases

- Market research on a category (which projects fund, at what goals, how many backers).
- Lead generation — creator profiles, websites and locations.
- Tracking rewards / pricing strategies across successful campaigns.
- Building datasets of crowdfunding trends.

***

### 💳 Pricing

This Actor runs on Apify's standard compute + proxy usage. Residential proxy traffic is the main cost driver, which is exactly why the scraper starts **direct** and only escalates when blocked — you only pay for the proxy tier you actually need.

***

### ❓ FAQ

**Do I need a proxy?** Not to start — the Actor tries direct first. But Kickstarter blocks datacenter IPs aggressively, so for larger runs **residential** is recommended.

**Why do some creator fields look empty?** Those fields come from the signed creator endpoint; if a creator's profile is private or the call is rate-limited, the Actor degrades gracefully and keeps the rest of the record.

**Can I scrape a single project?** Yes — paste its URL into **Start URLs**.

**Is this legal?** The Actor only collects publicly available data. You are responsible for complying with Kickstarter's ToS and applicable laws (GDPR/CCPA, etc.).

# Actor input Schema

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

URLs to start with. Supports 🟢 project detail, 👤 creator profile, 📂 category, 📍 place, and 🔍 /discover/advanced search URLs. Leave empty to crawl purely from the filters below.

## `query` (type: `string`):

Keyword/query you want to search on Kickstarter. Ignored when Start URLs are provided.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of project records to retrieve.

## `category` (type: `string`):

Kickstarter category to filter results by. Pick "All" for every category.

## `location` (type: `string`):

Location to search within (e.g. "Seattle, WA" or "United States"). Resolved automatically. Leave empty to skip.

## `status` (type: `string`):

Filter by campaign status.

## `pledged` (type: `string`):

Filter by total amount pledged.

## `goal` (type: `string`):

Filter by the campaign's funding goal.

## `raised` (type: `string`):

Filter by how much of the goal was raised.

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

Order of the results.

## `datasetName` (type: `string`):

Write results into a named dataset (persists across runs and is overwritten each run). Leave empty to use the run's default dataset.

## `enrichProjects` (type: `boolean`):

Fetch each project page for rewards, add-ons, items and full creator profiles. Turn off for a faster, lighter crawl that returns only the discover summary.

## `concurrency` (type: `integer`):

How many projects to fetch in parallel.

## `requestDelay` (type: `number`):

Politeness delay; a small random jitter is added on top. Kickstarter rate-limits aggressively.

## `impersonate` (type: `string`):

Browser TLS fingerprint to impersonate. Use a recent one — Cloudflare rejects old/generic fingerprints.

## `proxyConfig` (type: `object`):

The scraper starts with NO proxy and only escalates (datacenter → residential) if Kickstarter blocks it, then sticks with residential. Residential is strongly recommended — Kickstarter blocks datacenter traffic.
