Find outreach-ready tool leads from the Uneed daily ladder

Uneed Scraper pulls the latest Uneed daily ladder so you can find new tools to pitch or track without opening each page by hand. Start with a small Product limit, keep promoted listings off by default, and collect tool URLs, maker links, and optional website emails in one run.

• ✅ Daily ladder in one run - saves the manual work of opening each Uneed tool page by hand.
• ✅ Organic by default - promoted listings stay out unless you explicitly include them.
• ✅ Contact paths in one run - get the tool URL, Uneed listing URL, maker links, and optional website emails together.
• ✅ Start with 10 tools - use Product limit: 10 to review the first leads before you scale up.

🏆 Benefits

• 🗓️ Turn the latest Uneed ladder into a reusable lead list for research, outreach, or tracking.
• 📣 Keep paid listings separate from organic tools without manual cleanup.
• 📬 Collect maker links and website emails in the same run instead of stitching multiple tools together.
• 🔗 Keep a direct source link for every tool you collect so review and QA stay simple.

---

🚀 Quick start

1. Open the Input tab and set Product limit to 10 for a quick first run.
2. Leave Include promoted listings? turned off if you want organic-only results.
3. Keep Scrape emails? turned on if you want website emails too, and leave Proxy configuration on the default unless you need direct mode.
4. Run the actor and inspect the finished dataset in that run, or export the same rows through the API.

Leave Product limit empty or set it to 0 when you want the full daily ladder.

Important

• 🗓️ The JSON examples in this README come from a live run that loaded the Uneed ladder dated 2026-04-12.
• 🗓️ The actor checks the current UTC ladder first. If that ladder is empty or unavailable, it retries the previous UTC day so you still get the latest published ladder.
• 📣 When Include promoted listings? is off, the run verifies live promotion signals. If that verification fails, the run stops instead of mixing paid listings into organic output.
• ⚙️ There is no public concurrency input. I keep that tuned internally for reliability and cost control.

🔍 Error handling

• ⚠️ If the Uneed daily ladder cannot be loaded, the run fails instead of returning an empty dataset.
• ⚠️ If promoted-listing signals cannot be verified while Include promoted listings? is off, the run fails so organic-only output stays trustworthy.
• ⚠️ If one tool is missing required data, its detail page cannot be read, or its website email crawl fails, that tool is logged and skipped while the rest of the ladder continues.
• ⚠️ Some nested pages inside the website email crawl may fail without killing the parent tool if the crawl can still finish and emit the row.
