Tips for scraping Product Hunt leaderboards and categories

Pick one target section per run. Start date, Start week, Start month, and Start year open date-based leaderboard pages. Category slugs and Topic slugs open slug pages. Product Hunt page URLs can mix supported daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, category, and topic URLs in one run. Leave every target section empty for today's California-time daily leaderboard, or fill only one target section.

Product Hunt shows ~20 products per leaderboard page. Daily leaderboard pages include approximately 20 items in their server-rendered payload (typically 17 organic + 3 promoted). If you need more than 20 products, use date ranges to scrape multiple days, or enable promoted listings.

Scrape a single past leaderboard day in depth: Set Start date to 2026-03-20, Maximum items to 3, and enable both enrichment toggles. This is the quickest way to inspect one historical Product Hunt daily leaderboard with full product details.

Scrape a Product Hunt category: Set Category slugs to ["ai-code-editors"] and Maximum items to 20. Category pages return products sorted by relevance on Product Hunt.

Scrape multiple Product Hunt pages in one run: Set Product Hunt page URLs to ["https://www.producthunt.com/leaderboard/daily/2026/5/1/all", "https://www.producthunt.com/topics/developer-tools"] and Maximum items to 25. The actor scrapes each supported page sequentially.

First run: Leave every target section empty, set Maximum items to 5, and leave enrichments off. This returns today's top Product Hunt launches in seconds with minimal cost.

How much does it cost to scrape Product Hunt?

Product Hunt Scraper uses pay-per-event pricing — you only pay for products delivered, not compute time.

Event	Free / Silver / Bronze	Gold
Scraped product	$0.50 / 1,000	$0.40 / 1,000
Listing details (add-on)	$1.00 / 1,000	$0.80 / 1,000
Email enrichment (add-on)	$2.00 / 1,000	$1.60 / 1,000

• Scraped product — Charged per product row saved to your dataset.
• Listing details — Charged when the listing details toggle is enabled (adds comments, reviews, built-with, launches).
• Email enrichment — Charged only when website enrichment finds at least one public email address for a saved row. If no emails are found, no email enrichment charge applies.

Example: Scraping 1,000 Product Hunt products from daily leaderboards costs $0.50. Adding listing details costs an additional $1.00. Adding website enrichment and finding emails on 200 of those products adds $0.40 for email enrichment, totaling $1.90.

New users get a free trial with $5 of platform credits to test any Actor.

FAQ

What Product Hunt pages can I scrape? You can scrape daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly leaderboard pages, category pages, and topic pages. Product URLs, post URLs, search pages, and the homepage are not supported — only pages that list multiple products.

Do I need a Product Hunt API key? No. Product Hunt Scraper extracts data from Product Hunt's public web pages. No API key, developer token, or Product Hunt account is required.

How fresh is the data? Every run scrapes Product Hunt live. Results reflect the page at run time — upvotes, ranks, and comments are current as of the moment the actor runs.

Can I scrape historical Product Hunt leaderboards? Yes. Product Hunt keeps historical leaderboard pages. Set Start date to any past date (e.g. 2024-01-15) to scrape that day's leaderboard. Use date ranges for multiple days.

What is the listing details enrichment? When enabled, the actor fetches additional data from each product's Product Hunt listing page — including comments, reviews, built-with tools, and launch history. This is charged as a separate "detail-scraped" event.

What is the email enrichment add-on? When you enable "Website enrichment", the actor fetches each product's external website using a three-pass strategy (main page → contact pages → deep links) to discover public email addresses. The email enrichment event is charged only for rows where at least one email is found.

Why did I get fewer items than my maxItems setting? Product Hunt serves approximately 20 items per leaderboard page in the server-rendered payload. If you set maxItems to 25 but only one daily page is being scraped, you may get up to 20 items (or fewer if promoted listings are excluded). Use date ranges or multiple pages to get more total items.

Can I schedule recurring Product Hunt scrapes? Yes. Use Apify scheduling to run daily, weekly, or at any custom interval. Combine with integrations to push results to Google Sheets, Slack, webhooks, or your database.

How many products can I scrape per run? Set maxNbItemsToScrape to 0 for unlimited results. Each leaderboard page provides up to ~20 products. Use date ranges to scrape multiple days and get hundreds or thousands of products in one run.

What format are the results in? Results are available as JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML directly from the Apify dataset tab. You can also access them programmatically via the Apify API.
