What you get

Each record includes the project name and blurb, the creator, the category and subcategory, the funding goal, amount pledged (project currency and USD), percent funded, backers count, currency, country and location, the project state, staff-pick flag, launch and deadline dates, the project URL and image.

You only pay for real project records. Empty or failed runs are never charged. Anti-bot handling is fully internal, so you never configure a proxy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get only successful (or only live) projects? Yes. Set the state to successful, live, failed, canceled or all.

How do I focus on one category? Add the numeric category ID (for example Games, Comics or Technology). You can combine it with a search term and a state.

Can I filter by how much a project raised? Yes. Use minimum pledged (USD) and minimum backers to keep only well-funded projects.

Do I need to set up a proxy? No. Anti-bot handling is fully internal; you never configure anything.

How fresh is the data? Every record is read live at run time, so pledges, backers and state reflect Kickstarter at the moment of the run (see observedAt).

Export, API and AI agents (x402 + MCP)

Export the scraped data to JSON, CSV or Excel, pull it as a dataset through the Apify API, or wire it into your app with no code. This web scraper and data extractor also works for bulk data extraction and scheduled runs.

For AI agents: this Actor is available on x402, Apify's agentic payment standard built with Coinbase. An AI agent can discover, pay for and run it on its own with a funded wallet and a single HTTP request: no account, no subscription, no API key and no human in the loop. It also runs as an MCP tool inside Claude, Cursor and other AI clients out of the box. Learn more about x402 agentic payments on Apify.
