itch.io Game Assets Scraper

Extract game asset listings from itch.io — the open marketplace for indie games, tools, and game-development assets (sprites, tilesets, audio, fonts, 3D models, and more).

Features

• Browse popular assets, filter by tag (2D, 3D, characters, audio, pixel art, RPG, Blender, Voxel, Low-poly, Retro, Unreal Engine, and 60+ more), search by keyword, or look up specific listing URLs directly
• Sort by Popular, New & Popular, Top Sellers, Top Rated, or Most Recent
• Filter by price/recency: Free, On Sale, Paid only, $5 or less, $15 or less, Last Day/7 Days/30 Days
• Filter by AI content: AI Assisted, AI-generated graphics, audio, text, or code (combinable with tag)
• Returns: asset name, author, price, description, tags, thumbnail, URL, sale discount (original price & discount % when on sale), and (on the Top Rated sort) average rating & ratings count
• byUrl mode returns a full detail record per listing URL: everything above plus genre, tools it was made with, license, languages, content notice, release status, category, full-size screenshot URLs, and the downloadable file list (name, size, platform availability)
• No login, cookies, or proxy required — itch.io's browse JSON endpoint and listing pages are fully public
• Automatic retry with backoff on rate limits

FAQ

What is itch.io? itch.io is an open marketplace and hosting platform for indie games, game-development tools, and game assets (sprites, tilesets, audio packs, fonts, 3D models, etc.), launched in 2013.

Do I need an itch.io account? No — browsing and filtering game assets on itch.io is fully public. No login is required.

Do I need a proxy? No. itch.io's browse JSON endpoint (?format=json) is accessible from any IP without a proxy.

Can I combine a tag with a price/recency filter? Yes — set both tag (with mode: byTag) and filterBy. When both sortBy and filterBy are set, filterBy takes precedence.

How many results can I get? Up to 200 assets per run via maxItems, paginated automatically (36 results per itch.io page for browse/tag modes, 54 per page for search).

Are free assets included? Yes — both free and paid assets are captured. Use filterBy: "free" to get only free assets.

Can I search by keyword instead of browsing/tagging? Yes — set mode: "search" and provide a query (e.g. "pixel dungeon"). Results are scoped to itch.io's Game assets classification only (games, tools, comics, etc. are excluded), so every result is a genuine asset listing. Note that itch.io's own search backend only reliably paginates a limited number of results per query (commonly the first 50-100), even if maxItems is set higher — the actor detects this automatically and returns every unique result it can reach rather than looping on duplicates.

Can I look up specific listing URLs directly? Yes — set mode: "byUrl" and provide one or more direct itch.io listing URLs in startUrls (e.g. https://limezu.itch.io/moderninteriors). This is the only mode that returns the extra detail fields (genre, madeWith, license, averageSession, languages, contentNotice, status, category, screenshots, files) and always includes rating/ratingsCount when itch.io has them, regardless of sort order.

Can I filter out (or specifically find) AI-generated assets? Yes — set aiContent to ai-assisted (any AI use disclosed), or narrow to ai-graphics, ai-audio, ai-text, or ai-code. Combine with tag (in byTag mode) to scope further, e.g. AI-generated graphics tagged 2d.

Can I tell if a listing is currently on sale? Yes — when itch.io shows an active sale on a listing, discountPercent (e.g. 50 for 50% off) is included in every mode, and byUrl mode also includes originalPrice (the pre-discount price). price always reflects the current, already-discounted price.

Can I see what files a listing includes and their sizes? Yes — in byUrl mode, the files field lists every downloadable file itch.io shows on the listing page, with its display name, human-readable size, (when itch.io shows platform icons for that file) which platforms it supports, and (for listings that charge per-file, e.g. a free base download plus paid bonus files) that file's own minimum unlock price.
