Kickstarter是否有公共API？

Question

我正在寻找一个kickstarter API(但没有运气找到一个).

我确实在github上看到了一个抓取API,但这并不是我想要的.

Answer 1

不是真的(目前!),但他们确实有一种私有的方式来使用他们的ajax搜索功能来获取项目.使用:

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/search.json?search=&term=TERM_HERE

结果(TERM_HERE = "asd"):

{
    "projects": [
        {
            "name": "A Seasonal Disguise releases "Waterfowl Of Eastern Canada"",
            "id": 68646,
            "card_html": "<div class=\"project-card-wrap\">\n<div class=\"project-card\">\n<div class=\"project-thumbnail\">\n<a href=\"https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1560695581/a-seasonal-disguise-releases-waterfowl-of-eastern?ref=live\" target=\"\"><img alt=\"Photo-little\" class=\"projectphoto-little\" height=\"150\" src=\"https://s3.amazonaws.com/ksr/projects/68646/photo-little.jpg?1326348575\" width=\"200\" /></a>\n</div>\n<h2>\n<strong>\n<a href=\"https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1560695581/a-seasonal-disguise-releases-waterfowl-of-eastern?ref=live\" target=\"\">A Seasonal Disguise releases &quot;Waterfowl Of Eastern Canada&quot;</a>\n</strong>\n<span>\nby\nZ.V.

        }
    ],
    "categories": [],
    "locations": [],
    "header": "Projects matching \"asd\""
}

假设您确切知道您想要详细说明的项目,您可以获得基本信息,但仍需要一些HTML解析.

很抱歉没有答案,但这可能对某人有用.

Kickstarter确实有一个API,但它目前是私有的,没有文档.我的猜测是他们为自己的内部使用创建了它,所以他们可以让他们的网站和iPhone应用程序以统一的方式绑定到数据中.

虽然API还没有公开宣布,但它已经稳定并且工作了几个月.使用有效的Kickstarter用户帐户,您可以查询其API以获取项目,类别,评论,奖励等.

你提到的抓取库是Mark Olson创建的Ruby gem,我为此做出了贡献.虽然这显然与Kickstarter的公共/文档化API不同,但它是Kickstarter当前私有API可用的概念的良好证明.这里是为了文档而链接到该库:https://github.com/markolson/kickscraper

此外,这是一个维基页面,显示我们在查询项目时返回API的文档:https://github.com/markolson/kickscraper/wiki/Project

显然他们有一个内部API,也可以在外面使用.当然没有记录,也不是正式的,所以我想这可能会在任何时候停止工作,但我想你可能会觉得这很有趣:
