Peerlist launch scraper

Extract Peerlist launch metadata, upvoters, comments, and user profiles.

Peerlist.io is an emerging alternative to Product Hunt: makers launch on the Peerlist launchpad every Monday and their products compete for one week to collect the most upvotes.

This Apify Actor pulls the full public data for any launch the launch itself, its upvoters, its comments, and (optionally) the profiles behind them.

What you get

Four output datasets, each with its own Console view.

Launches (default dataset)

Rich per-launch metadata: upvoteCount, commentCount, bookmarkCount, pageViewCount, demoClickCount, rank, isWeeklyWinner, averageRating (with per-axis Idea/Execution/Design breakdown), launchWeek/launchYear/launchMonth, featuredOn, categories, tags, logoUrl, ogImage, images, videos, hackathonInfo, openForCollab, creator info, collaborators, and the product URL.

Example row:

{
  "launchName": "Cold Email Kit",
  "launchTagline": "The ultimate resource library for cold email marketers",
  "upvoteCount": 54,
  "pageViewCount": 848,
  "rank": 22,
  "isWeeklyWinner": true,
  "launchWeek": 35,
  "launchYear": 2025,
  "categories": ["Email", "Marketing"],
  "creatorHandle": "mshiv"
}

Upvoters (upvoters dataset)

Per-upvoter records: profile URL, display name, headline, verified flag, upvotedAt timestamp, upvoteWeight (super-upvote signal), profile picture.

{
  "launchUrl": "https://peerlist.io/manas_peers/project/fetchrly",
  "upvoterName": "Swarup Dhar (Shawn)",
  "upvoterHeadline": "I help businesses build scalable systems that attract qualified leads…",
  "upvoterVerified": true,
  "upvotedAt": "2026-07-10T13:20:06.669Z",
  "upvoteWeight": 3
}

Comments (comments dataset)

Per-comment records: commenter identity + headline + verified flag, comment HTML, commentLikeCount, commentChildCount (reply count), commentCreatedAt, commentPinnedAt, any attached images.

{
  "commenterName": "Ankit D",
  "commenterHeadline": "Design Engineer",
  "commenterVerified": true,
  "commentText": "<p>This is great!</p>",
  "commentLikeCount": 1,
  "commentChildCount": 1,
  "commentCreatedAt": "2026-07-14T14:12:21.743Z"
}

Profiles (profiles dataset optional)

Populated only when Scrape Profile is on. Adds full profile detail: website, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, Cal.com link, skills, follower count, total experience years, project count, verified flag.

Two ways to feed the Actor

You can combine both the Actor de-duplicates.

1. By individual launch URL

{
  "launchList": [
    "https://peerlist.io/fabianmume/project/the-apify-1m-challenge",
    "https://peerlist.io/manas_peers/project/fetchrly"
  ]
}

Pro tip: if you are looking for launches on a specific topic like "ai", you can do a Google search for "ai site:peerlist.io"

2. By launchpad week

Point at a whole week and the Actor expands it into individual launches automatically:

{
  "weekUrls": [
    "https://peerlist.io/launchpad/2026/week/30"
  ],
  "maxLaunchesPerWeek": 50
}

maxLaunchesPerWeek defaults to 20 and caps at 500. Launches are queued in Peerlist's default ranking order.

How to run

1. Paste your launch URLs or week URLs in Input.
2. Toggle Scrape Profile if you also want profile-level detail (websites, socials, skills). Leave off to skip.
3. Click Save & Run.
4. Open the run's Storage tab to browse the four datasets, or download them as CSV/JSON.

Limits

• Up to 150 upvoters per launch : Peerlist's API caps the upvoter list at 150 regardless of the launch's true upvote count.
• Up to 25 top-level comments per launch : reply threads are not currently expanded.
• Up to 500 launches per week URL : via maxLaunchesPerWeek.

Use cases

• Reach out to your own supporters. Pull every upvoter and commenter of your launch and follow up personally.
• Warm-audience outreach. Extract supporters of a product similar to yours and message them ahead of your launch.
• Weekly winner analysis. Pull an entire launchpad week with weekUrls + maxLaunchesPerWeek and rank by upvoteCount / isWeeklyWinner for competitive tracking.
• CRM / spreadsheet import. Every launch row ships with rank, ratings, page views, categories, and tags — drop-in for Airtable, Notion, or a sales pipeline.

For discovering launches beyond specific week pages, the Apify Google Search Scraper pairs well with site:peerlist.io + <keywords> queries.

FAQ

Why only 150 upvoters? Peerlist's API returns at most 150 per launch. We can't return more than what they expose.

Can I get comment replies? Not currently. Only top-level comments are scraped; child threads would require a separate request per parent.
