Setup

Product Hunt fronts every page with a Cloudflare challenge, so the Actor fetches pages through Scrappey, which solves the challenge and returns rendered HTML. Billing is per request, not per gigabyte.

Set your Scrappey key as a secret environment variable named SCRAPPEY_API_KEY on the Actor (Console → Actor → Settings → Environment variables), or in a local .env file when running locally. The run fails fast with a clear message if it is missing.

Examples

Daily

{ "mode": "daily", "date": "2025-12-06", "maxProducts": 20 }

Weekly

{ "mode": "weekly", "year": 2025, "week": 49 }

Yearly

{ "mode": "yearly", "year": 2024, "includeAll": true }

Output

Each dataset item contains product data such as:

• Rank, product name, tagline, and Product Hunt URL
• Upvotes, comments, and categories
• Thumbnail image
• Selected leaderboard mode and scraped period
• Scrape timestamp
