It has two run modes. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md. ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run. For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below. Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`). # README ![banner](https://anyx.solutions/banners/product-hunt-scraper.png) ## Product Hunt Scraper **Every launch on a Product Hunt leaderboard, topic or product page, with votes, comments, ranks, makers and website, as clean JSON.** Product Hunt is where new software, AI tools and apps launch every day. This Actor reads the homepage, the daily, weekly, monthly and yearly leaderboards, the launch feed for any topic, and individual product pages, and returns each launch with its name, tagline, description, vote and comment counts, daily, weekly and monthly rank, topics, categories, makers, hunter, pricing, website, logo, review rating and follower count. Paste a Product Hunt URL; there is no login and no API key. Built for startup and VC deal-flow scouting, competitor and market tracking, lead generation, and newsletters that cover new launches. ### ⚡ Quick start ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.producthunt.com/leaderboard/daily/2026/10/12" } ], "maxItems": 5 } ``` ### 🧩 Input | Field | Type | Required | Default | Description | | -------------------- | ------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `startUrls` | array | yes | — | Product Hunt URLs: the homepage, a leaderboard (daily, weekly, monthly or yearly), a topic, the launch feed, or a product page. See the list below. | | `maxItems` | integer | no | — | Maximum number of launches per start URL. The input form starts at 5; leave it empty to get every launch the page lists. | | `includeDetails` | boolean | no | `true` | Open each launch's product page to add its description, website, makers, hunter, categories, pricing, reviews and followers. | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | no | `{ "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] }` | Proxy settings. Product Hunt blocks datacenter IPs on its leaderboards, homepage and product pages, so residential proxies are used by default. | **Supported URLs** | Page | Example | What you get | | ----------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- | | Homepage | `https://www.producthunt.com/` | Today's top launches, in ranking order (about 20). | | Daily leaderboard | `https://www.producthunt.com/leaderboard/daily/2026/10/12` | The top launches of that day, in ranking order. | | Weekly, monthly, yearly | `https://www.producthunt.com/leaderboard/weekly/2026/41`, `…/monthly/2026/9`, `…/yearly/2025` | The top launches of that period, in ranking order. | | Topic | `https://www.producthunt.com/topics/developer-tools` | The 50 most recent launches in that topic. | | Launch feed | `https://www.producthunt.com/feed` | The 50 most recent launches across Product Hunt. | | Product | `https://www.producthunt.com/products/notion` | The product and its latest launch. | ### 📤 Output Each launch is one dataset row. Leaderboards and the homepage give votes, comments, ranks and topics straight away; topics and the launch feed give the name, tagline, launch date and hunter, and the product page fills in the rest. With `includeDetails` on (the default) every row is completed from its product page. #### Fields | Field | Type | Description | | ---------------- | ------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `id` | string | Product Hunt launch ID. | | `slug` | string | The launch's short name in Product Hunt URLs. | | `name` | string | Launch name. | | `tagline` | string | One-line tagline. | | `description` | string | The launch description, or the product description when the launch has none.

### 💡 Use cases - **Deal-flow and startup scouting** — track every day's top launches, their traction and their makers. - **Competitor and market monitoring** — follow a topic's new launches and see who is shipping in your space. - **Lead generation** — reach makers of new products, with their website and Product Hunt profile. - **Newsletters and content** — build daily or weekly roundups of the best new products. - **Trend research** — compare votes, comments and topics across days, months and years. ### ❓ FAQ - **Do I need a Product Hunt account or API key?** No. The Actor reads the same public pages any visitor sees. - **Why a residential proxy?** Product Hunt blocks cloud and datacenter IPs on its leaderboards, homepage and product pages. Topic and feed URLs work without a proxy when `includeDetails` is off, which is the cheapest way to track new launches. - **How many launches does a leaderboard give?** The launches Product Hunt shows before "load more": about 17 on a leaderboard and about 20 on the homepage. For a longer history, add one daily leaderboard URL per day. - **Why are some fields empty on feed rows?** The topic and launch feeds carry only the name, tagline, date and hunter. Keep `includeDetails` on and each row is completed from its product page, including votes and comments for recent launches. - **Why is `votesCount` sometimes `null`?** Product Hunt lets makers hide the vote count, usually during the first hours of a launch. - **A topic URL returned nothing.** Product Hunt does not have a launch feed for every topic or category; the log says when a topic is not recognised. Try the topic's slug from a `producthunt.com/topics/...` link. - **Can I scrape many pages at once?** Yes. Add one URL per page to `startUrls`; `maxItems` applies to each one separately. - **Something looks off?** Open an issue with the URL you used. ### 🔗 More scrapers by Anyx - [Hacker News Scraper](https://apify.com/anyxsolutions/hacker-news-scraper) - [GitHub Trending Scraper](https://apify.com/anyxsolutions/github-trending-scraper) - [Substack Scraper](https://apify.com/anyxsolutions/substack-scraper) - [Google News Scraper](https://apify.com/anyxsolutions/google-news-scraper) ### 🤝 Anyx Solutions We build custom scrapers and data-extraction pipelines. - Email: tantosthor@gmail.com ### 🖼 Image credit Image credit: [producthunt.com](https://www.producthunt.com/) # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Product Hunt pages to scrape: the homepage (https://www.producthunt.com/), a leaderboard such as https://www.producthunt.com/leaderboard/daily/2026/10/12 (weekly, monthly and yearly work too), a topic such as https://www.producthunt.com/topics/developer-tools, the launch feed (https://www.producthunt.com/feed), or a product page such as https://www.producthunt.com/products/notion. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of launches to return per start URL. Leave empty to get every launch the page lists. ## `includeDetails` (type: `boolean`): Open each launch's product page to add its description, website, makers, hunter, categories, pricing, reviews and followers. Adds one request per launch; turn it off when the list fields are enough. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings. Product Hunt blocks datacenter IPs on its leaderboards, homepage and product pages, so residential proxies are used by default. Topic and feed URLs with product details turned off also work without a proxy. ## Actor input object example ```json { "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.producthunt.com/leaderboard/daily/2026/10/12" } ], "maxItems": 5, "includeDetails": true, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `overview` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
