itch.io Games Scraper

Scrape indie games from itch.io — the largest marketplace for independent games — straight into a clean, structured dataset. Pull the newest releases, games on sale, or any tag or platform feed, and get back the title, author, price, discount, tags, cover image and link for every game. No login, no API key, no cookies.

Built on itch.io's public RSS feeds, so it's fast, reliable and datacenter-proxy friendly (no residential proxies needed).

What it does

• Fetches one or more itch.io RSS feeds (newest, on-sale, tag-<x>, platform-<x>).
• Parses each game into a normalized record and deduplicates by URL.
• Extracts the developer handle, cover image, price, discount % and sale end date.
• Pushes one clean JSON item per game — every field nullable, so it never breaks your pipeline.

Use cases

• Indie game discovery — surface fresh releases the moment they hit itch.io.
• Market research — track pricing, discounts and genre trends across the indie scene.
• Curation — power a newsletter, Discord bot or storefront with hand-picked feeds.
• Trend tracking — monitor which tags and platforms are gaining momentum.
