Collect public posts shown in the Indie Hackers homepage feed. The actor renders the site in a browser, reads any public JSON data loaded by the page, then falls back to the rendered post cards. It returns the title and canonical URL, plus the author, upvote count, comment count, URL slug, section, and post ID when those values are present. It does not return discussion comments or post-body text because those are not present in the homepage cards.
Input
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
maxResults | integer | 50 | Maximum number of records to save. The number returned can be lower when fewer posts are visible in the feed. |
keywordFilter | string | empty | Keep posts whose URL contains this text. Matching is case-insensitive. |
proxyConfiguration | object | Apify RESIDENTIAL | Optional Apify proxy settings. Omit the field or set useApifyProxy to false to use a direct connection. |
Example input:
{"maxResults": 10,"keywordFilter": "saas","proxyConfiguration": {"useApifyProxy": true,"apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"]}}
Example output
{"title": "I launched my first Mac app today: a text expander with plain text snippets","url": "https://www.indiehackers.com/post/i-launched-my-first-mac-app-today-a-text-expander-with-plain-text-snippets-7ee42de7dd","postId": "7ee42de7dd","slug": "i-launched-my-first-mac-app-today-a-text-expander-with-plain-text-snippets","author": "jeyk333","upvotes": 2,"comments": 17}
section is included on posts whose URL contains a section path. Fields absent from a post are omitted rather than emitted as empty strings. Results are written one post per dataset item and can be exported as JSON, CSV, or Excel.
Pricing
The reference Indie Hackers actor lists a price of $0.011 per result. The platform charges for items written to the dataset; this actor does not issue separate Actor.charge calls. Confirm the effective rate on this actor's Store page before running a paid collection.
Notes
The actor reads public homepage content and needs no Indie Hackers login. A keyword filter applies to the post URL. The homepage feed may expose fewer records than maxResults, and the actor returns only posts it can parse from the rendered page or its public JSON responses. Site markup and available posts can change over time.
