Indiegogo Campaign Scraper

Indiegogo Campaign Scraper

Scrape Indiegogo campaigns by keyword, category, or trending sort, up to a million per run. Every campaign comes with its funding progress, backer count, category, and full description. No API key or login required. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Indiegogo's official API requires a partner application and rate limits that slow down bulk research. This reads the public campaign listings directly, filtered by search term, category, and sort order, and returns each match in one fixed schema. You get the same campaign data a visitor sees on the browse and search pages, structured and ready for analysis.

Who uses it	What they scrape Indiegogo for
Product developers	Which features and price points competing crowdfunding campaigns are offering this quarter.
Market researchers	How much funding similar products are raising and what backer demographics look like.
Journalists	Finding the most funded or trending campaigns in a category for a roundup story.
E-commerce buyers	Spotting early-stage products with strong backer traction before they hit retail.

What it does

This Actor collects Indiegogo campaigns by keyword search, category filter, and sort order, and returns each one as a flat row.

• 🔍 Keyword search: enter a term like 'electric bike' or 'solar charger' and get matching campaigns.
• 📂 Category filter: narrow results to Technology, Home, Health, Fashion, and 14 other Indiegogo categories.
• 📊 Sort control: order results by trending, most funded, newest, or ending soon campaigns.
• 🛑 Hard limit: set a maximum number of campaigns and the run stops cleanly when it reaches that count.

Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

Drive the Actor from a keyword search, a category pick, and a sort order, alone or together, and the max items limit stops the run once enough campaigns are collected. The Input tab lists every parameter.

A first run with the defaults:

{
 "maxItems": 10
}

A larger pull:

{
 "maxItems": 200
}

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check that your search term is not too specific and that the category filter is not too narrow. Try a broader keyword or set the category to 'All Categories' first, then narrow down once you confirm results are available.

The run stopped before reaching my maxItems limit.

This happens when Indiegogo's search or browse pages return fewer campaigns than your limit. Try a broader search term, remove the category filter, or switch to a different sort order to surface more campaigns.

Some campaign fields are empty in the output.

Indiegogo does not always populate every field on every campaign listing. If a campaign owner left a field blank on their page, the Actor returns an empty value for that field. This is expected behavior.

The run is taking a long time.

Large maxItems values mean more pages to visit. The Actor respects Indiegogo's servers by pacing requests. Reduce maxItems or narrow your filters if you need faster results.

I got blocked or received an error.

The Actor uses Apify's proxy infrastructure to avoid blocks. If you still see errors, try running with a higher proxy tier or contact support with the run ID for investigation.

FAQ

Question	Answer
Can I scrape a specific Indiegogo campaign by URL?	This Actor is built for search and browse discovery, not direct URL input. To scrape a single known campaign, provide its exact title as the search term and set maxItems to 1.
Does this scrape campaign comments or backer lists?	No, this Actor collects campaign-level data from the search and browse pages. It does not scrape individual campaign comments or backer details.
What data fields does each campaign row include?	Each row includes the campaign title, description, funding goal, current funding, backer count, category, and other fields visible on the listing page. The exact field list is shown in the sample output on the Actor's page.
Do I need an Indiegogo account or API key?	No. The Actor reads publicly available pages and requires no login, account, or API key.
Can I filter by funding percentage or backer count?	The input schema supports filtering by keyword, category, and sort order. Funding percentage and backer count are returned in the output data, so you can filter them after export in your spreadsheet or database.
How many campaigns can I scrape in one run?	You set the maximum with the maxItems field, up to 1,000,000 campaigns per run. The Actor stops when it reaches that number or when no more results match your filters.
What does the 'trending' sort order return?	Trending returns campaigns that Indiegogo's algorithm currently ranks as popular, based on recent funding activity and engagement. It is the default sort and a good starting point for discovery.
Can I schedule this Actor to run daily?	Yes. Apify's scheduler lets you set this Actor to run on a recurring interval, so you always have fresh campaign data without manual runs.
Does this work for Indiegogo InDemand campaigns?	InDemand campaigns that appear in search and browse results are included. The Actor collects whatever campaigns Indiegogo's public listings return for your filters.
What export formats are supported?	You can export your dataset as CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML from the Apify platform, or push it directly to an external service via an API integration.
