Uneed.best Scraper 🚀

Scrape launched products and tools from uneed.best — the Product Hunt alternative for indie makers. Pull the full listing record for any product: name, tagline, website, pricing, category, tags, rating, upvotes and every upvoter, the maker, all social links, reviews, rewards, deals, media, and founder-disclosed business data (revenue, team size, tech stack, for-sale status). Scrape by tag, by product URL, or the entire catalog.

No login, no anti-bot, no proxy required. Export to JSON, CSV, or Excel.

Why use this scraper

• The whole product record, not just the card. Most listing scrapers stop at name + link. This one decodes each product's server-rendered data into a clean row with 20+ fields.
• Maker & upvoter intelligence nobody else extracts. Every upvoter (username, streak, vote date), the maker's profile, and — when the founder has disclosed it — TTM revenue, last-month revenue/profit, team size, tech stack, and whether the product is for sale.
• Three ways in. Filter by tag (368 available), pass specific product URLs/slugs, or leave everything empty to walk the full catalog of 9,400+ products.
• Fast & reliable. uneed.best serves its data in the page, so the actor reads it directly over plain HTTP — no browser, no proxy, no captcha.
• Clean, typed output. Consistent field names, empty values dropped, ready for a spreadsheet or a database.

What it scrapes

Uneed.best is a launch directory where makers submit products and the community upvotes them. Each product ("tool") has a public detail page and appears in ranked, tag-filtered lists. This actor turns any of those into structured data.

Input	You get
A tag (e.g. ai, seo, productivity)	Every product ranked under that tag
A product URL or slug (e.g. /tool/notion)	The full detail record for that product
Nothing (full catalog)	Every listed product, capped by Max items

Supported inputs

• Tag listings — https://www.uneed.best/best-products-by-tag/{tag}
• Product pages — https://www.uneed.best/tool/{slug}
• Product slugs — plain slugs like notion, linear
• Full catalog — the actor's sitemap walk of all /tool/{slug} pages

Use cases

• Lead lists of indie-hacker and SaaS products, with the maker and their socials for outreach.
• Acquisition sourcing — surface products flagged for sale, with disclosed revenue and team size.
• Launch & competitor monitoring — track new products, upvote counts, and ratings by tag.
• Market & trend research — aggregate pricing models, categories, and tag popularity across the catalog.
• Enrichment — resolve a product's official website and social profiles from its uneed listing.

How it works

1. You provide tags, product URLs/slugs, or nothing (for the full catalog).
2. For tag inputs, the actor reads the tag's ranked product list. For the full catalog, it reads the sitemap of every product.
3. With Scrape full product details on (default), it fetches each product's page and decodes the complete record. With it off, it returns the lighter listing rows from tag pages as-is — faster and cheaper.
4. Rows stream to the dataset as they're scraped, deduplicated by product, and capped at your Max items.

Input configuration

Field	Type	Description
startUrls	array	uneed.best URLs to scrape (auto-classified): product pages or tag listings. Overrides the filters below.
tags	array	Tag slugs to pull ranked listings for, e.g. ai, seo, productivity.
slugs	array	Explicit product slugs, e.g. notion, linear.
scrapeDetails	boolean	Fetch each product's detail page for the full record. Default true. Off = lighter listing rows from tag pages.
fullCatalog	boolean	Scrape every product via the sitemap. Auto-on when no URLs/tags/slugs are given.
maxItems	integer	Maximum products to return.
maxConcurrency	integer	Parallel product-detail fetches (1–20).
proxy	object	Optional. Not needed — uneed.best has no anti-bot.

Example inputs

Scrape the top AI and SEO products with full detail:

{
  "tags": ["ai", "seo"],
  "scrapeDetails": true,
  "maxItems": 200
}

Scrape specific products:

{
  "slugs": ["notion", "linear"],
  "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.uneed.best/tool/hairstyleai" }]
}

Fast listing pull, no per-product fetch:

{
  "tags": ["productivity"],
  "scrapeDetails": false,
  "maxItems": 500
}

Scrape the entire catalog:

{ "fullCatalog": true, "maxItems": 5000 }

FAQ

Do I need a proxy? No. uneed.best has no anti-bot; the actor fetches directly. A proxy option exists if you want one, but it's off by default.

Will every product have revenue / team size? No — those fields only appear when the maker chose to disclose them. The business object is omitted when nothing is disclosed.

How many products are there? Around 9,400 at the time of writing, across 368 tags and 5 categories.

Can I get every upvoter? Yes, in full-detail mode, up to a generous per-product cap (username, vote value, streak, and date).

What's the difference between detail and listing mode? Listing mode (scrapeDetails: false) returns the lighter card data straight from tag pages — fast and cheap. Detail mode fetches each product's page for the complete record (rich description, upvoters, reviews, revenue, media).

Which formats can I export? JSON, CSV, and Excel via the Apify dataset, or pull them from the API.
