itch.io Game Scraper

Extract structured game data from itch.io, the open marketplace for indie games, tools, and assets. Browse by sort order, tag, or genre — or hand the actor a list of specific game URLs — and get clean, normalized data for market research, price tracking, catalogue building, or trend analysis.

No login, no API key, no setup. Just pick what to scrape and run.

What you get

• Browse any list — New & Popular, Newest, Top Rated, Most Popular, On Sale, Free, or Top Sellers.
• Tag and genre browsing — pull every game under a tag (horror, pixel-art, roguelike, visual-novel) or genre (action, puzzle, rpg, platformer).
• Direct URL scraping — pass a list of game page URLs to scrape exactly those.
• Full pricing — current price, original price, sale percentage, currency, free / pay-what-you-want detection.
• Rich metadata — rating and rating count, genre, tags, languages, supported platforms, input methods, accessibility features, multiplayer, average session length, AI disclosure, and more.
• Media — cover image, full screenshot gallery, and trailer URL.
• Built-in filters — price state, platform, rating, and price range, applied for you so you only keep what you want.

Use the Max results cap in the input to control your spend exactly.

Notes

• itch.io shows each game's price in the single currency its creator chose; the scraper reports that currency as listed.
• Detail fields (genre, tags, rating, screenshots, etc.) require Fetch detail pages. Browse mode alone returns the lighter list-level field set quickly and cheaply.
• The actor respects itch.io's robots.txt and scrapes only its public browse and game pages.

Run it on a schedule

This actor is built for repeat use. Set it to run daily, weekly, or hourly, and the data keeps flowing without you touching it.

• Schedule runs — open the actor, go to Schedules, and pick a cadence. Each run only charges you for the results it returns.
• Connect it to your stack — push results straight to Google Sheets, Slack, a webhook, or your database using Apify Integrations. No glue code needed.
• Pull results via API — every run writes a clean dataset you can fetch with one API call, ready for whatever you build on top of it.

Set it once and it runs on its own.
