How to scrape the Product Hunt leaderboard

1. Create a free account on Apify and open this Actor.
2. Select your Time Period (Last Week, Last Month, Last Year, or All Time).
3. Set Max Scrolls to control how many entries to retrieve (each scroll loads ~100 more users).
4. Click Start and wait for the run to finish.
5. Download your results in JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Dataset tab.

How much will it cost?

This Actor uses Playwright to render the page and scroll through results. A typical run with 3 scrolls (~300–400 entries) uses approximately 0.5–1 compute unit, well within the free tier on most Apify plans.

FAQ & Support

Is this legal?

This Actor only extracts publicly visible leaderboard data that Product Hunt displays to all visitors. It does not access private user data, email addresses, or any information not shown on the public leaderboard page.

Why are fewer than expected results returned?

Increase the Max Scrolls input to load more leaderboard entries. Each scroll loads approximately 100 additional users.

The Actor failed — what should I do?
