Extracts crowdfunding project data from Kickstarter — funding progress, backer counts, creator details, categories, and campaign deadlines — for any combination of keywords, categories, and campaign states.

Why use this actor

• No account required — works entirely on public data without logging in
• Full funding metrics — goal, amount pledged, backer count, percent funded, and campaign deadline in every record
• Two flexible modes — search by keyword (e.g. "board game", "3D printing") or bulk-sweep entire categories (Games, Technology, Design, etc.)
• All campaign states — collect live, successful, failed, or canceled projects for market research and trend analysis
• Optional deep detail — enable enrichment to add pledge reward tiers, tags, and community engagement counts
• Stable structured output — consistent fields ready to load into a spreadsheet, database, or analytics pipeline

How it works

1. You choose a mode: search (enter one or more keywords) or discover (sweep by category and state).
2. The actor pages through results automatically, collecting up to your maxItems limit.
3. Each project record is saved to your dataset as soon as it is collected — you can start downloading before the run finishes.
4. Optionally enable Enrich from project pages to add reward tiers, tags, and engagement counts to every record.

You do not need to manage browsers, write code, or handle pagination.
