Product Hunt and related names are trademarks of their respective owners. Launch listings, reviews, and comments are read from publicly accessible web sources only; no proprietary databases or private account data are accessed.

This Actor is provided for informational and research purposes only (e.g. startup market intelligence, launch monitoring, lead list building). You are solely responsible for ensuring your use complies with applicable laws, platform terms of use, and your organization's policies.

Scrape Product Hunt launches at scale — no official API required. Export daily feeds and historical leaderboards (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly), enrich each product with website links, social handles, paginated user reviews, and threaded comments. Fast HTTP extraction with Cloudflare bypass — no headless browser.

Best for: B2B lead lists from new launches, competitor review monitoring, VC/accelerator scouting, and launch trend research.

When to use this Actor

• Leaderboard exports — upvotes, ranks, taglines, and topics from daily through yearly boards.
• Startup lead gen — website URLs, Twitter/GitHub/LinkedIn links, hunter profiles, YC and funding signals.
• Review intelligence — star ratings, aspect scores, written feedback, pros/cons, and reviewer profiles (paginated, not just the first page).
• Launch discussions — comment threads with nested replies, upvotes, and author metadata.

Pair with Crunchbase Leads Extractor when you also need funding rounds and investor data outside Product Hunt.

Key Features

• Leaderboard pagination — Full daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly boards (200+ products on yearly lists).
• Paginated reviews — Fetch dozens or hundreds of reviews per product, not just the initial page.
• Listings or details mode — Fast card-only exports (scrapeDetails: false) or full enrichment with reviews and comments.
• Structured output — One JSON row per launch; CSV, Excel, API, or webhook via Apify dataset.
• Cloudflare-ready — TLS fingerprint impersonation, session warmup, residential proxy rotation.

FAQ

How do leaderboards work?
Paste any leaderboard URL. The actor auto-detects the period and paginates until maxItems.

How many reviews per product?
Set maxReviews (default 20). The actor paginates automatically. Empty array if the product has no public reviews.

Account required?
No login or API token — public pages only.

Listings vs details?
scrapeDetails: false = fast leaderboard CSV. true = full profiles with reviews and comments.
