Product Hunt Scraper: Launches, Topics, Makers & Votes

Export Product Hunt launches into clean, structured data. This Product Hunt scraper pulls launches straight from the official Product Hunt API and returns each product's name, tagline, description, vote and comment counts, topics, makers, and links, normalized into one tidy schema. Sort by the daily leaderboard, newest, or most upvoted, and filter by topic and date.

Powered by Product Hunt's official API. No login for you to manage, no anti-bot workarounds.

Why this actor

• Official API, clean data: structured launch records, not scraped HTML that breaks.
• Real sorting and filtering: ranking (the leaderboard), newest, most votes, or feature date; narrow to a topic or a date range.
• Rich records: votes, comments, review count and rating, topics, and the makers behind each launch.
• Simple pricing: you are charged per launch returned, nothing else.

Use cases

• Trend and market research: track what is launching in your space and how it performs.
• Competitive intelligence: monitor launches in a topic like artificial-intelligence or developer-tools.
• Content and newsletters: pull the day's or week's top launches for roundups.
• Datasets: build a structured feed of products, taglines, and topics for analysis or AI pipelines.

• Public data only. This actor reads publicly available launch data through Product Hunt's official API. It does not access private messages, email addresses, or anything behind a login.
• Topic slugs are the lowercase, hyphenated form from a topic's URL (e.g. producthunt.com/topics/artificial-intelligence → artificial-intelligence).
