Kickstarter API endpoint

Get a Kickstarter campaign's detail API

Returns one Kickstarter campaign's detail: funding snapshot (goal, pledged, percent funded, backers, state, dates), category, creator, cover photo, story text, risks & challenges, update/comment/FAQ counts, and reward/pledge tiers. creator and slug are the two path segments of the project URL, e.g. lookingglass and musubi for kickstarter.com/projects/lookingglass/musubi. Reward tiers are best-effort -- see the endpoint's documentation for when they may be omitted.

How this endpoint behaves

Query parameters:

creator: required. The creator path segment of the project URL, for example lookingglass in kickstarter.com/projects/lookingglass/musubi.
slug: required. The project slug path segment of the project URL, for example musubi in kickstarter.com/projects/lookingglass/musubi.

Returns one Kickstarter campaign's detail: the story, risks & challenges, creator, category, and update/comment/FAQ counts, the exact state/backers_count/pledged/comments_count, goal/percent_funded/category/location detail, and a best-effort capture of the campaign's reward/pledge tiers — see "Notable response behavior" below.

Notable response behavior:

story and risks_and_challenges are the campaign's own text, available on both live and completed campaigns.
updates_count, comments_count, and faq_count come from the project page's own navigation tab labels, with comments_count/backers_count/pledged/state then refined by the campaign's own exact-match live-stats source when available.
goal, percent_funded, staff_pick, spotlight, created_at, launched_at, deadline, usd_pledged, and converted_pledged_amount are sourced from a discover/advanced search matched by an EXACT slug — a fuzzy lookup that can occasionally miss an older or lightly-indexed campaign, in which case those specific fields are left at their zero value rather than failing the whole request.
reward_tiers lists the campaign's reward tiers (each tier's id, name, description, amount, currency, backers_count, estimated_delivery_on, image, shipping fields, remaining_quantity, limit, available, featured, items (the reward's own contents), and add_ons). Best-effort: omitted from the response (not an error) when the capture misses or the campaign genuinely has no reward tiers (e.g. a completed or donation-only project) — the two are indistinguishable from this endpoint's point of view.
A nonexistent creator/slug pair returns 404. A page Kickstarter blocks/challenges, or an unparseable response, returns a 503 upstream error.
