Scraping data from Kickstarter #4

Open tarunkrishnakumar opened 9 years ago

Hi Justin,

I was thinking it would be a nice feature (and quite mind-blowing as well) to get this data from Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/help/stats . It's updated every day and would look great on a ticker counting upwards over time. Happy to help with the coding!

Thanks, Tarun

Hey Tarun,

I hadn't seen this data before. I think this or something like it is a good idea. Kickstarter is probably the lion's share, but I think it'd be nice to broaden this to crowdfunding platforms more generally if we could find the data. I'll talk it over with the team and see what other people think.
