Kickstarter Scraper

Track crowdfunding campaigns at scale. Search any topic and get funding progress, backer counts, deadlines and creator details in one clean row per project. No login and no API key.

What it does

• Funding progress - goal, amount pledged, percent funded, and a plain isFunded flag so you can filter winners instantly.
• Backer economics - backer count plus the average pledge per backer, which is the number that actually tells you how a campaign is performing.
• Timing - launch date, deadline, and days remaining, so you can catch campaigns before they close.
• Filter by state - live now, successful, unsuccessful, or upcoming.
• Sort that matters - most funded, most backed, ending soon, newest, or popularity.
• Creator and category - who is running it, in which category, from where.

Funding moves daily, so schedule the run to build a history of a campaign or a whole category.

Common uses: product and market research, spotting trends before launch, competitor and category tracking, lead lists of active creators, and building a crowdfunding dataset.

Each item is one project.

Campaigns with no backers yet return null for averagePledge, so the shape is always the same.

Notes

• No login and no API key. Set your search terms and run.
• Combine state: "live" with sort: "end_date" to find campaigns about to close.
• Combine state: "successful" with sort: "most_funded" for benchmark research on what wins.
• Results stop automatically once the feed runs out, so you are never charged for repeats.

To improve our actors we collect anonymized usage telemetry (run stats and input patterns). No personal account data is collected.
