🚀 Turn Product Hunt launches into structured research data

Product Hunt Scraper helps founders, marketers, researchers, and sales teams collect public launch data without opening every listing. Export launch names, descriptions, dates, categories, ranks, votes, and comment counts as structured rows.

📦 Product Hunt launch data

Each saved row represents one Product Hunt launch, or its product when no launch is available. Repeated launches or products are skipped after the first saved match. Fields include:

  • Product or launch name, tagline, description, Product Hunt URL, launch date, and thumbnail
  • Upvotes, comments, reviews, followers, launch counts, and available daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly ranks
  • Categories, topics, tags, gallery images, and Product Hunt video assets
  • Makers, hunters, team members, and public profile details shown by Product Hunt
  • External links and X account handle when Product Hunt shows them
  • The public schema also has fields for team profiles, product links, media, comments, reviews, Built With details, launch history, and website data

Unavailable values are null or [], and some optional fields are left out of a row. A launch can still be saved when optional details or extra data are not available. If a run stops early before every requested launch is saved, the rows already saved stay in the dataset. The run log says why.

🚀 Run Product Hunt Scraper

  1. Choose one Target in the Find launches from field: Daily leaderboard, Weekly leaderboard, Monthly leaderboard, Yearly leaderboard, Category pages, Topic pages, or Product Hunt page URLs.
  2. Complete only that Target's options. Daily runs default to today's California-time leaderboard when no date is entered.
  3. Set Maximum launches to save to a positive integer to limit the run. Leave it empty to return all available results until the source is exhausted.
  4. Choose whether to include promoted listings or keep only featured launches. These filters apply to leaderboards.
  5. Turn on website details only if you need website titles, descriptions, visible text, or public emails.
  6. Run the Actor and open the dataset from the Output tab.

If Product Hunt blocks every attempt to find launches, no launch can be read, so no rows are saved.

If one launch cannot be read, the Actor skips it and keeps working on other launches it can read. Saved rows stay in the dataset. A launch that is not saved has no launch charge. The run log reports an incomplete result when a launch cannot be read.

If a run stops early before all requested launches are saved, the saved rows stay in the dataset. The run log says why the run stopped early.

⚙️ Input

Choose one source type per run. Fields for other Target sections are ignored. This example is copied from the public input of a successful run with the default input.

💳 Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. The primary event is charged once for each saved launch, or its product when no launch is available. The public email add-on is charged only for a saved launch where optional website details find at least one public email. A run with no saved launch is not charged for a launch. Website checks that find no public email do not add the email charge. See the Pricing tab for current rates.

🔌 Integrations

Use Apify datasets, API access, schedules, and webhooks to export or automate results. This walkthrough shows how to connect an Actor to other workflows:

❓ FAQ

What happens if one launch cannot be read?

The Actor skips that launch and keeps working on other launches it can read. Rows already saved stay in the dataset. The skipped launch has no launch charge, and the run log reports an incomplete result.

What happens if Product Hunt blocks every attempt to find launches?

No launch can be read, so no rows are saved. Retry later because access to Product Hunt can change between runs.

What happens if a run stops early?

Rows saved before the stop remain in the dataset, and charges for those saved rows remain. The run log says why the run stopped. Set Maximum launches to save when you want a smaller run.

How do I keep a large run manageable?

Leave website details off when you do not need the linked site data. Set a positive Maximum launches to save limit for a smaller run; leave it empty to return all available results until the source is exhausted.

Can I submit a Product Hunt launch URL?

Yes. Choose Product Hunt page URLs as the Target to submit supported Product Hunt launch detail, category, topic, or leaderboard URLs. It does not accept post, search, home, or other URL types.

Why are some fields null or empty arrays?

Product Hunt does not show every optional fact for every launch. Missing optional details or website data do not discard a valid launch. The row keeps null or [] for unavailable values, and some optional fields are left out. A launch that cannot be read is skipped.

Can I use several target types in one run?

Choose one Target per run. The Product Hunt page URLs Target accepts a list of supported Product Hunt pages. You can include launch detail, category, topic, and leaderboard URLs in the same list.

Are comments, reviews, launch history, Built With data, and website emails always included?

No. The public form has no separate switches for comments, reviews, Built With data, or launch history. It has one switch for website details. Product Hunt may not show every field on each launch, so some values can be empty.

Do I need a Product Hunt login or API key?

No. The Actor works without a Product Hunt login or API key.

Can I export the results to a spreadsheet or JSON file?

Yes. Download the dataset from the Output tab as a spreadsheet or JSON file.

Can I collect launches on a schedule?

Yes. Run the daily leaderboard on an Apify schedule and send completed datasets through the API or a webhook. The Actor does not track changes or keep history between runs.

Can I run the Actor through an API?

Yes. Use the Apify API to start runs and get dataset rows.

📝 Changelog

v2.1 (20-10-2026)

  • Rows add product ID, featured date, product created date, launch day score, and Y Combinator status when Product Hunt shows them.
  • Reviews add ease of use, customization, reliability, and value for money ratings when the reviewer gave them.
  • Reviews add the pro and con tags the reviewer picked.
  • Awards include yearly Product Hunt awards.
  • Reviews and launch history are no longer cut off at 50 items.
  • Daily rank now comes from the product's own launch, not the leaderboard position.
  • App Store and Google Play links are filled in from the store buttons Product Hunt shows.
  • Review rating and rating breakdown now fill in from Product Hunt, and products with no reviews show an empty rating instead of 0.
  • Comment, review, and launch counts are described as Product Hunt's counts, which may not match the saved lists.
  • When one product cannot be read, the run keeps looking for more launches, so it can still reach the number you asked for.
  • Runs with input fields this Actor does not support now fail with an error instead of reporting success with no rows.
  • An empty week, an unpublished week, or a missing category page now logs a warning, and the run finishes normally.
  • Reliability improvements.

v2.0 (18-10-2026)

  • Breaking change: each Product Hunt page URL goes in its own row, in a url field. Plain text URLs from v1.0 are no longer accepted, so update saved inputs and API calls.
  • Runs that get close to a memory or time limit stop early on their own. Saved rows stay in the dataset. If work was cut short, the run succeeds with a warning that says why, instead of failing.
  • Launches are saved as soon as they finish. A slow launch no longer holds back the launches after it.
  • Reliability improvements.

v1.0 (07-10-2026)

  • Category and topic targets use slug lists, and the URL list accepts their supported pages.
  • Comments, reviews, Built With details, and launch history are collected without separate input switches.
  • When a launch cannot be read, saved rows remain in the dataset, other launches continue, and the run reports an incomplete result.

v0.0

  • Initial release with daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, category, topic, and supported page URL Targets.
  • Initial release with optional comments, reviews, Built With, launch history, and website enrichment.
  • Initial release.
