Peerlist Scraper: Launchpad Launches, Upvoters, Profiles & Jobs

Scrape Peerlist (peerlist.io), the professional network for developers and designers: Launchpad launches by week with rank, upvotes, the product's own website and launch analytics, every upvoter and comment of a launch, maker and developer profiles with website, social links, GitHub and skills, and the Peerlist job board with salary, skills and apply links. No login, no cookies, no browser.

{
  "mode": "launches",
  "launchpadWeeks": ["2026-W42"],
  "includeUpvoters": true,
  "includeMakerProfile": true
}

Input	Rows
Nothing (Launches mode)	Every launch of the current Launchpad week, in rank order
recentWeeks: 8	The last 8 weeks of launches
A launch link	That launch, plus its upvoters and comments on request
A maker's profile link	Every product that maker has launched
Profile links or handles (Profiles mode)	One profile row each
Job filters (Jobs mode)	Matching jobs, newest first

Why Use This Scraper?

• Every upvoter, not a sample. One call returns everyone who upvoted a launch, with their headline, verified badge and upvote time. Warm leads for anyone launching in the same category.
• The product's real website. Launch rows carry the product's own URL, not only the Peerlist page, so you can enrich or contact the company straight away.
• Launch analytics nobody else exports. Page views, demo-link clicks and shares per day of the launch week.
• Makers with their socials. Website, X, LinkedIn, GitHub, Product Hunt, skills, years of experience and followers, merged into the launch row or as profile rows.
• The job board with filters. Role, skill, job type, country, remote / hybrid / office and posting date. Salary range, currency and unit come as numbers.
• Fast and cheap. About 1,600 rows in 16 seconds on 256 MB. From $1 per 1,000 rows.

Use Cases

• Launch lead generation: pull the upvoters of competing or adjacent launches and reach out before your own launch.
• Startup and product discovery: track every new indie product, SaaS and AI tool launched each week, with its website and category.
• Competitive tracking: weekly winners, ranks, upvotes, ratings and traffic of launches in your category.
• Developer and designer sourcing: profiles with skills, experience, GitHub and personal sites.
• Job market data: tech and design jobs with salaries, skills and remote status, for job boards, newsletters and research.
• Newsletters and digests: a weekly list of top launches with taglines, links and makers.

How It Works

1. Launches mode reads the Launchpad weeks you name (or the most recent ones) in rank order, 100 launches a call, plus any launch or maker links you paste.
2. For each launch it reads the launch page (website, description, tech tags, rating split) and its analytics, and on request the maker's profile, every upvoter and every comment.
3. Profiles mode reads each profile page. Jobs mode pages through the job board newest first, filtering on Peerlist's side where it can (roles, skills, job types, countries) and on ours for workplace and date.
4. Requests run a few at a time, retry with backoff, and the run stops cleanly at your row or spending limit.

Output Overview

Every row has a type: launch, upvoter, comment, profile or job. The dataset has a table view for each. Upvoter and comment rows repeat the launch's id, title, link and week so each row stands on its own.

FAQ

How many launches are there per week? A few hundred. The current week is still filling up; past weeks are final.

Can I get every upvoter of a big launch? Yes, all of them in one call. Upvote times come for the most recent 150; older upvoters have upvotedAt empty.

Are emails included? No. Peerlist does not show email addresses. Rows carry websites, social links and GitHub usernames instead.

Why does the run use a proxy? Peerlist refuses requests from cloud servers. Apify datacenter proxy works and is used by default, at no extra charge to you.

Do I need a Peerlist account or cookies? No.

Are empty results charged? No. You pay only for rows delivered.
