🎮 itch.io Game Scraper

🚀 Export indie game listings from itch.io in seconds. No login. No API key. Just clean, structured data.

Itch.io is the world's largest open marketplace for independent game creators, hosting over 1 million games. This actor scrapes game listings from itch.io browse pages - capturing titles, developers, prices, ratings, platforms, genres, and descriptions in real time. Data is pulled directly from the public HTML - no account required.

The dataset is sourced from itch.io's own browse and discovery pages, covering every game visible to a non-logged-in visitor. Filter by sort order and genre to zero in on exactly the segment you need.

📋 What the itch.io Scraper does

• Browses itch.io game listings by sort order (top-rated, new-and-popular, top-sellers, newest)
• Filters by genre (platformer, rpg, action, visual-novel, etc.)
• Extracts cover image, title, developer, price, currency, rating, rating count, platforms, genre, and description
• Paginates automatically until your maxItems limit is reached
• Handles free and paid games correctly

💡 Why it matters: itch.io hosts thousands of under-the-radar indie games that never appear on Steam. It is the pulse of the indie game ecosystem - scraping it gives you early signals on genres, pricing, and talent before they go mainstream.
