Scrape and clean up data from Kickstarter
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I had a project on freelancer back in 2020 where a person scraped data from kickstarter to help me with a research project I am working on as a college professor. I would like to extend that same scraped data from 2020 through to the present day. The company, Web Robots (available online at no cost), has everything listed from kickstarter projects. I need someone to scrape the kickstarter pages from the URLs listed in the document available from Web Robots to pull down all text from the project page. I also need the Web Robot data to be cleaned up. Here is an outline of everything I will need:
Variables to be scraped or just cleaned up:
* Project ID
* Creator ID
* Project Title
* Project Subtitle
* Category
* Subcategory
* Project location (country)
* Project location (city)
* Target launch date
* Campaign Start date
* Campaign End date
* Campaign duration
* Successful Date
* Owner’s name
* Funding goal success (yes or no)
* Home currency
* Funding goal requested (in USD and their home currency if international)
* Funding level obtained (in USD and their home currency if international)
* Gender (if possible)
* Number of backers
* Spotlighted
* Staff pick
* Project URL
* Story
* Reward titles
* Reward description
* Reward amounts
* Reward amounts in USD
* Risks and challenges
* Number of comments
* Number of updates
* Number of new backers
* Number of returning backers
* Top backer cities
* Projects created by creator
* Projects backed by creator
* Collaborators
* Number of previous successful projects
* Story length
* Number of rewards
See attached for example spreadsheet from the previous freelancer.
