Uneed Scraper

🧭 Turn Uneed launches into product research

Uneed Scraper helps founders, marketers, analysts, and partnership teams collect public Uneed products as structured data. It returns websites, descriptions, categories, pricing labels, launch metrics, contacts, media, engagement, and available founder-disclosed business details for research and outreach planning.

• Uneed product research — build a structured catalog of products, categories, tags, pricing labels, and descriptions.
• Uneed launch tracking — collect the current launch ladder with votes, clicks, launch dates, and promotion status.
• Uneed competitor analysis — compare products from category, tag, and alternatives pages.
• Uneed startup lead generation — find product websites, maker links, social profiles, and public website emails.
• Uneed product engagement analysis — review ratings, comments, reviews, upvoters, and public participant profiles.
• Uneed startup acquisition research — inspect source-published for-sale status, asking prices, revenue, profit, team size, and technologies when available.

📦 Data you can extract

Each saved row represents one successfully collected public Uneed product and can include:

• Product ID, slug, name, canonical Uneed URL, website, tagline, and rich description
• Category, tags, pricing label, rating, clicks, votes, launch date, and listing date
• Promoted, premium, dofollow, and for-sale status
• Source-hosted logo, screenshot and media URLs, deals, and rewards
• Maker profiles, product social links, and public website emails
• Reviews, comments, individual upvoters, and participant profile and audience details
• Founder-disclosed revenue, profit, currency, team size, technologies, asking price, and sale URL

Optional facts remain null or [] when Uneed or the linked public website does not publish them. Logos and media are returned as source URLs rather than copied into Apify storage.

🚀 How to run the Actor

1. Choose one Target.
2. Add the matching URLs when using product, category, tag, or alternatives pages.
3. Set Product limit for a discovery Target, or use 0 for the full matched set.
4. Choose whether to include source-marked promoted listings.
5. Run the Actor and open the dataset from the Output tab.

The default Target collects the latest populated Uneed daily ladder. No Uneed login, cookies, or source API key is required for public data.

🎯 Input

Choose one Target per run:

• currentLaunch — latest populated Uneed daily ladder; no URL input is needed.
• productPages — direct public product URLs supplied in startUrls.
• categoryPages — public category URLs supplied in categoryUrls.
• tagPages — public tag or best-products-by-tag URLs supplied in tagUrls.
• alternativesPages — public alternatives URLs supplied in alternativesUrls.
• fullCatalog — products discovered through Uneed's public tools sitemap.

maxNbItemsToScrape limits products from discovery Targets. Use 0 for the full matched set; direct product page URLs are processed as the submitted fixed list. shouldIncludePromotedListings includes source-marked paid or promoted products alongside organic discovery results. Directly requested product pages are always researched.

Example current-launch input:

{
  "target": "currentLaunch",
  "maxNbItemsToScrape": 45,
  "shouldIncludePromotedListings": false
}

📤 Output

The default dataset contains one row per successful public Uneed product. Required fields are slug, name, and sourceUrl; other fields are present according to the typed dataset schema and source availability.

{
  "productId": 14609,
  "slug": "creem",
  "name": "Creem",
  "websiteUrl": "https://creem.io",
  "sourceUrl": "https://www.uneed.best/tool/creem",
  "tagline": "Payments for software businesses",
  "category": { "name": "Finance", "slug": "finance" },
  "tags": [],
  "pricing": "Free",
  "rating": null,
  "ratingCount": null,
  "clickCount": null,
  "voteCount": null,
  "launchDate": null,
  "listedAt": null,
  "isPromoted": false,
  "isPremium": null,
  "isDofollow": null,
  "isOnSale": null,
  "contacts": [],
  "socialLinks": {},
  "websiteEmails": [],
  "logoUrl": null,
  "mediaUrls": [],
  "deals": [],
  "rewards": [],
  "reviews": [],
  "upvoters": [],
  "comments": [],
  "profiles": [],
  "business": null
}

Removed, private, unsupported, failed, and diagnostic outcomes stay out of the dataset. Products found more than once in a run are deduplicated.

💳 Pricing

The Actor charges one uneed-product event for each successful saved product. Runs do not have an Actor-start charge. Automatic website-email and engagement enrichment have no separate Actor-owned charge, and failed, diagnostic, setup, or no-result work is not charged as a product.

🔌 Integrations

Export results from Apify as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, or HTML. Use the Apify API to start runs and retrieve datasets, schedule repeat research, trigger webhooks, or connect datasets to supported Apify integrations.

❓ FAQ

Can I scrape one specific Uneed product?

Yes. Choose productPages and provide one or more public /tool/... URLs in startUrls. This fixed list is processed independently of the discovery limit.

Can I exclude promoted products?

Yes. Keep shouldIncludePromotedListings set to false for discovery Targets. Filtering relies on Uneed's public promotion markers; directly requested product pages are still researched.

Why are some emails, reviews, or business fields empty?

These fields are optional. Website email discovery is best effort, and Uneed products or linked websites may not publish contacts, engagement, or founder-disclosed business facts. The Actor does not infer missing values.

Can I collect the whole public catalog?

Choose fullCatalog and set maxNbItemsToScrape to 0. This discovers product locations through Uneed's public tools sitemap and may take longer than a focused category, tag, or product-page run.

Does this use a private Uneed API or account?

No. The Actor collects publicly accessible data without Uneed credentials and does not bypass private pages or access controls.
