Example Scripts

=begin
https://github.com/markolson/kickscraper

This script pulls out the project goal, pledged amount, and the number of backers, and writes it to a text file for use in other tools.  Specifically written for use with streaming software.

Nav to the script dir, run this command:

	ruby kickscrape.rb 'project name'

=end

require 'kickscraper'
Kickscraper.configure do |config|
  config.email = nil
  config.password = nil
  config.proxy = nil
end
c = Kickscraper.client
proj = c.search_projects(ARGV).first
if proj.empty?
