GoFundMe is the world's largest crowdfunding platform, hosting millions of active fundraising campaigns for causes ranging from medical emergencies and education to community projects and disaster relief. With campaigns created daily, manually analyzing fundraising trends, campaign performance, or identifying high-performing projects is impractical. The **GoFundMe Project Search Scraper** automates this process, extracting structured campaign data at scale. --- ### Overview The **GoFundMe Project Search Scraper** extracts detailed fundraising project information from GoFundMe's discover and search pages, converting campaign listings into clean, analyzable records. It is designed for: - **Market researchers** tracking fundraising trends across categories - **Journalists** investigating fundraising patterns or campaign success factors - **Nonprofit organizations** benchmarking peer campaigns and strategies - **Data analysts** studying crowdfunding behavior and donor patterns - **Academic researchers** analyzing social fundraising phenomena Key strengths include batch collection across multiple category/search pages, configurable item limits to control volume, and robust error handling via `ignore_url_failures`. --- ### Input Format The scraper accepts a JSON configuration object specifying which pages to scrape: ```json { "ignore_url_failures": true, "max_items_per_url": 200, "urls": [ "https://www.gofundme.com/discover/animal-fundraiser" ] } ```` | Field | Description | |---|---| | `urls` | Array of GoFundMe category, search result, or discover pages to scrape | | `max_items_per_url` | Maximum number of campaigns extracted per page (e.g., `200`) | | `ignore_url_failures` | If `true`, scraper continues even if some URLs fail; if `false`, the run stops on first error | **URL Examples:** - Category pages: `https://www.gofundme.com/discover/animal-fundraiser` - Search results: `https://www.gofundme.com/s/search?q=medical` - Location-based: `https://www.gofundme.com/discover/[location]` > **Tip:** Use discover or category pages for more consistent results than broad searches. *** ### Output Format **Sample output** ```json { "id": "102049481", "gallery_images": [], "beneficiary": null, "category_id": "16", "charity": null, "charity_organized": false, "created_at": "2026-04-05T01:48:28.000-05:00", "current_amount": { "__typename": "Money", "amount": 3497, "currency_code": "EUR" }, "default_slug": "from-gouda-to-the-games-one-shot-at-the-world", "donation_count": 113, "deactivated": false, "donations_enabled": true, "description": "
Help mij naar de CrossFit Games 2026\n
\n

\n
\n
Mijn naam is Max Hoogerwerf, ik ben 15 jaar en ik train bij CrossFit Gouda. Sport is altijd een groot onderdeel van mijn leven geweest, maar het afgelopen jaar ben ik mij volledig gaan focussen op CrossFit.\n
\n

\n
\n
Met resultaat: ik heb mij geplaatst voor de CrossFit Games 2026 (het WK Crossfit) in de categorie 14–15 jaar. Een droom die werkelijkheid wordt. Dit is voor mij pas het begin.\n
\n

\n
\n
Mijn grote doel is om ooit bij de elite, de volwassen mannen, op de CrossFit Games te staan. Om te laten zien wat mogelijk is met discipline, hard werken en blijven geloven in jezelf.\n
\n

\n
\n
Maar eerst deze kans. Om deel te nemen aan de CrossFit Games in San Jose, Californië, moet alles zelf bekostigd worden. Denk aan:\n
\n\n
In totaal komt dit neer op ongeveer €8500\n
\n

\n
\n
Daarnaast zijn de kosten om in Amerika te trainen een stuk hoger dan wij hier in Europa gewend zijn. Om mij optimaal voor te bereiden wil ik in de dagen voorafgaand aan de wedstrijden trainen bij een lokale CrossFit box, zodat ik goed kan wennen aan de omgeving, het klimaat en het tijdsverschil.\n
\n

\n
\n
Mocht er meer worden opgehaald dan het doelbedrag, dan zal dit gebruikt worden voor extra voorbereiding, herstel, aanvullende trainingsdagen en toekomstige internationale wedstrijden.\n
\n

\n
\n
Ik werk hier iedere dag keihard voor. School, trainen en werk combineren om alles uit deze kans te halen. Ik wil niet alleen voor mezelf daar staan, maar ook laten zien aan andere jongeren dat je, ongeacht waar je vandaan komt, grote dromen mag najagen.\n
\n

\n
\n
Daarom vraag ik jouw hulp. Elke donatie, groot of klein, brengt mij dichter bij de startlijn.\n
\n

\n
\n
En delen helpt minstens zoveel. Samen kunnen we laten zien dat een Nederlandse Teen het kan opnemen tegen de wereldtop.\n
\n

\n
\n
Help jij mij om daar te komen?\n
\n

\n
\n
Max\n
\n

\n
\n
Help me get to the CrossFit Games 2026\n
\n

\n
\n
My name is Max Hoogerwerf, I am 15 years old, and I train at CrossFit Gouda. Sport has always been a big part of my life, but over the past year, I have focused entirely on CrossFit.\n
\n

\n
\n
With results: I have qualified for the CrossFit Games 2026 (the CrossFit World Championships) in the 14–15 age category. A dream coming true. For me, this is just the beginning.\n
\n

\n
\n
My big goal is to one day compete among the elite, the adult men, at the CrossFit Games. To show what is possible with discipline, hard work, and continuing to believe in yourself.\n
\n

\n
\n
But first, this opportunity. To participate in the CrossFit Games in San Jose, California, everything must be self-funded. Think of:\n
\n

\n
\n\n

\n
\n
Additionally, the costs of training in America are significantly higher than what we are used to here in Europe. To prepare optimally, I want to train at a local CrossFit box in the days leading up to the competitions, so that I can get used to the environment, the climate, and the time difference.\n
\n

\n
\n
Should more be raised than the target amount, the surplus will be used for extra preparation, recovery, additional training days, and future international competitions.\n
\n

\n
\n
I work incredibly hard for this every day. Combining school, training, and work to get the most out of this opportunity. I don't just want to be there for myself, but also to show other young people that, regardless of where you come from, you are allowed to chase big dreams.\n
\n

\n
\n
That is why I am asking for your help. Every donation, big or small, brings me closer to the starting line.\n
\n

\n
\n
And sharing helps just as much. Together, we can show that a Dutch Teen can take on the world's elite.\n
\n

\n
\n
Will you help me get there?\n
\n

category: animal fundraiser, medical, education) or construct search URLs. 2. **Build URL list** — Paste discover/category/search URLs into the `urls` array: ```json "urls": [ "https://www.gofundme.com/discover/animal-fundraiser", "https://www.gofundme.com/discover/medical", "https://www.gofundme.com/s/search?q=disaster-relief" ] ``` 3. **Set item limits** — Adjust `max_items_per_url` (e.g., `200` for bulk collection, `20` for sampling). 4. **Enable error handling** — Set `ignore_url_failures: true` to skip failed URLs instead of halting the run. 5. **Run the scraper** — Start the actor and monitor progress in the logs. 6. **Export results** — Download as JSON, CSV, or Excel and integrate into analytics tools. **Best practices:** - Category/discover pages yield better results than broad searches - Higher `max_items_per_url` values capture more campaigns but increase runtime - Use `ignore_url_failures: true` for production runs to handle occasional timeouts *** ### Use Cases & Business Value - **Fundraising research:** Analyze campaign success factors, average funding goals, and donation patterns by category - **Media investigations:** Identify trending campaigns, high-performing fundraisers, or unusual funding activity - **Competitive benchmarking:** Compare nonprofit campaigns to understand peer strategies and donor behavior - **Academic studies:** Research crowdfunding phenomena, donor psychology, and social fundraising trends - **Donor intelligence:** Build datasets of high-performing campaigns to model success patterns The GoFundMe Project Search Scraper eliminates manual browsing and data collection, delivering campaign insights that inform strategy and reveal patterns hidden in thousands of crowdfunding stories. *** ###
