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.

Indiegogo is one of the world's largest equity and reward-based crowdfunding platforms, hosting hundreds of thousands of innovative projects across technology, design, sustainability, and consumer goods. Every day, creators launch new campaigns seeking funding, and backers discover products that will shape the future. Manually collecting and analyzing this data is impractical — the **Indiegogo Project Search Scraper** automates bulk data extraction from search results, transforming raw listings into actionable intelligence. --- ### Overview The **Indiegogo Project Search Scraper** extracts comprehensive project data from Indiegogo's search result pages. It captures metadata about campaigns, creators, funding performance, and project properties — all in structured, exportable format. Designed for: - **Market researchers** identifying emerging product trends and funding patterns - **Investors** analyzing crowdfunding landscapes and creator portfolios - **Competitors** monitoring similar projects and campaign strategies - **Entrepreneurs** benchmarking their ideas against funded projects - **Data analysts** building datasets for predictive modeling Key features include support for high-volume extraction (up to 200 projects per URL), automatic error recovery, and detailed campaign lifecycle data. --- ### Input Format The scraper accepts a JSON configuration object: ```json { "ignore_url_failures": true, "max_items_per_url": 200, "urls": [ "https://www.indiegogo.com/en/projects/search?projectTags=59&ref=homepage-projectslist-indie_3" ] } ```` #### Input Parameters Explained | Parameter | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `urls` | Array | Indiegogo search result page URLs. Pass the full URL including filters (e.g., by category, tag, or keyword). Each URL can yield up to 200 projects. | | `max_items_per_url` | Integer | Maximum projects extracted per search URL (default: `20`, max: `200`). Higher values capture more campaigns but increase runtime. | | `ignore_url_failures` | Boolean | If `true`, the scraper continues if a URL fails. If `false`, a single failure stops the run. Recommended: `true` for bulk operations. | > **Pro tip:** Use Indiegogo's search filters to narrow results by category, funding status, or launch date. Paste the filtered URL directly — all filters are preserved. *** ### Output Format **Sample output** ```json { "allow_new_orders": null, "campaign_goal": 50000, "co_creators": [], "creator": { "avatar_url": "https://cdn.images.indiegogo.com/creatoricon/creators/1783532/118f6256-c033-49ec-8eed-885d2f60d18c.png", "home_url": "https://www.indiegogo.com/creators/skwheel", "creator_i_d": 1783532, "image_file_name": "118f6256-c033-49ec-8eed-885d2f60d18c.png", "name": "SKWHEEL", "url_name": "skwheel" }, "draft_access_key": "NQ8S02SSR1EF7SMW9VD00JDBROQ", "enable_shipping_only_mode": null, "has_promo_item": false, "last_update_title": null, "phase_label": "Crowdfunding", "pledge_manager_availability": null, "pledge_manager_soft_close_deadline": null, "project_properties": { "enable_board_game_properties": true, "max_players": null, "min_age": null, "min_players": null, "play_time": null, "play_time_description": null, "play_time_unit": 0 }, "project_url_name": "skwheel-peak", "promo_item_name": null, "use_draft_access_key": false, "backers_count": 224, "campaign_end": "2026-06-26T21:59:00Z", "campaign_start": "2026-05-26T16:00:00Z", "campaign_end_scheduled_at": "2026-06-26T21:59:00Z", "campaign_outcome": 0, "catalog_category": { "project_category": 52, "name": "Transportation", "url": "/en/projects/search?projectCatalogCategories=Transportation" }, "currency_symbol": "€", "follower_count": 451, "funded_in_seconds": 318, "funds_gathered": 380224.3, "funds_gathered_presentation": 0, "image_url": "https://cdn.images.indiegogo.com/projectimage/projects/425635/17210772-77e1-4d63-bbc4-b77fac0606b3.png", "installment_count": 3, "installment_min_payment": 900.0, "name": "SKWHEEL : Ski Anywhere.

Copy the search result URL. 2. **Prepare input** — Paste the search URL(s) into the `urls` array. Set `max_items_per_url` based on your needs (20–200). 3. **Configure error handling** — Set `ignore_url_failures: true` to skip problematic URLs without stopping the scraper. 4. **Run the scraper** — Execute the actor and monitor the run log for progress. 5. **Download results** — Export as JSON, CSV, or Excel for analysis in spreadsheets, databases, or BI tools. **Best practices:** - Use search filters (category, date, funding status) to narrow results and reduce runtime. - Start with `max_items_per_url: 50` to test, then scale up for production runs. - Check the `Campaign Outcome` field to distinguish active, successful, and failed campaigns. *** ### Business Applications & Value - **Market intelligence:** Identify trending categories, average funding goals, and backer behavior - **Investment research:** Screen projects by funding achieved, creator profiles, and campaign duration - **Competitive analysis:** Track competitor products, monitor similar projects, and benchmark campaign performance - **Trend forecasting:** Analyze historical data to predict emerging product categories - **Academic research:** Study crowdfunding as an alternative financing mechanism The scraper eliminates days of manual research, delivering clean, structured datasets that feed directly into analyses, dashboards, and strategic decisions. *** ### Conclusion The **Indiegogo Project Search Scraper** transforms crowdfunding data into strategic intelligence. With 40+ fields per project and support for large-scale extraction, it empowers researchers, investors, and entrepreneurs to understand market dynamics at scale.
