🏆 Product Hunt Scraper

Hi, I’m Maxime 👋

I built this lightweight, but robust scraper to grab the data you need from any of Product Hunt's leaderboards (any day)!

---

What you’ll get for each product

Field	Description
url	Product Hunt URL
name	Product name
shortDescription	One-line tagline
longDescription	Full launch description
makersInfo[]	Each maker’s name + every public link (PH, X, personal site, etc.)

Need another field? DM me on X (@maximehugodupre) — most feature requests ship the same day 💪.

Why another scraper?

Most actors pull a kitchen-sink of data (upvotes, badges, rankings, etc) which slows crawling and burns more credits.
Mine focuses on core launch context + real people behind it, so a typical daily scrape finishes in ≲ 30 seconds—about 4-5 × faster than the big guys.

Input

{
	"launchDate": "2025-07-23", // optional; defaults to “today” (PST)
	"maxNbResults": 30, // 0 = scrape the whole day
	"proxyConfiguration": {
		// optional; Apify proxy or your own
		"useApifyProxy": true
	}
}

Tips

• Time-zone aware – converts launchDate to Product Hunt’s PST cutoff.
• IP rotation ready – plug in any proxy pool; requests respect your rotation.
