# Platform: Open Collective
|
|
|
|
Open Collective is a transparent funding platform. All contributions to public collectives are visible without authentication via a public API.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Available signals
|
|
|
|
- Financial contributions (one-off and recurring)
|
|
- Recurring contributions can be distinguished from one-off donations
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## How to collect
|
|
|
|
Open Collective public API. No authentication required.
|
|
|
|
Example endpoint:
|
|
- `https://opencollective.com/{collective-slug}/members/all.json` — all contributors with amounts
|
|
|

|
|
## General concerns
|
|
|
|
- Financial contribution is a meaningful signal of commitment, but money ≠ participation
|
|
- The same person may contribute to multiple collectives; deduplication needed across instances
|
|
- Recurring funders arguably deserve more weight than one-off contributors — see [Funding signals: merged or separate?](../../ARCHITECTURE.md#funding-signals-merged-or-separate)
