Use Cases

• Market research — track which campaigns are gaining traction, compare backer counts and funding velocity across the tabletop space
• Publisher intelligence — monitor which studios are launching, how their campaigns perform, and what pledge structures they use
• Stretch goal analysis — understand how campaigns sequence and communicate stretch goals
• Pricing benchmarks — compare pledge tier structures and price points across categories
• Portfolio monitoring — watch campaigns for games you backed or want to track

How It Works

The scraper uses Gamefound's search API to retrieve paginated campaign listings, then fetches each project page to extract live funding statistics. Funding data (backer count, amount raised, currency) is read from the server-rendered state embedded in each campaign page — ensuring the numbers reflect the current live state of the campaign, not stale listing data.

Pledge tiers are fetched from Gamefound's rewards API and normalized into a structured JSON array.

No login or API key is required.

Notes

• Gamefound hosts campaigns in multiple currencies depending on the creator's location. The currency field carries the symbol; funding_goal and amount_raised are in that same currency.
• Campaigns with status: Ended or status: Archived are still accessible via Gamefound's search and are included when projectPhase: All is selected.
• pledge_tiers and stretch_goals are JSON-encoded arrays stored as strings, suitable for downstream parsing or direct use in JSON-aware tools.
