❓ FAQ

🔍 How does it work? The scraper launches a browser to bypass Cloudflare protection, then efficiently collects product data in minutes. This approach ensures reliable access while minimizing resource usage.

📊 How accurate is the data? All data comes directly from Product Hunt, so it is as accurate and current as the website itself. Rankings and vote counts reflect live data at the time of your run.

📅 Can I schedule it to run automatically? Yes. Use Zapier, Make, or Apify's scheduler to run the scraper daily, weekly, or on any schedule that suits your workflow.

⚖️ Is it legal to scrape Product Hunt? The scraper collects publicly available data from Product Hunt. However, you are responsible for ensuring your usage complies with Product Hunt's Terms of Service and local data laws. Always respect the platform's rules.

🛡️ Will Product Hunt block me? Product Hunt uses Cloudflare protection, which this scraper bypasses using residential proxies and Camoufox browser technology. To avoid blocks, always use residential proxies, which are included in the default configuration.

⚡ How long does a run take? Typical run times depend on the number of items: 10 products takes around 30 seconds, 100 products takes 3-4 minutes, 1,000 products takes 15-20 minutes. The first request spends time solving the Cloudflare challenge.

⚠️ Are there any limits? Free users can collect up to 100 results per run. Paid users can collect up to 1,000,000 results per run.
