Product Hunt Scraper

🚀 Product Hunt Scraper: Product Hunt Launches API

Export Product Hunt launches as clean JSON, CSV or Excel: each product's name, tagline, thumbnail, launch date, upvotes, comments, topics and Product Hunt link. The Product Hunt Scraper works as a simple Product Hunt API alternative: pull today's top launches, the newest products or the most-upvoted ones. No Product Hunt account, no developer token.

🎯 Use Cases

• Daily Product Hunt launches feed: save today's top products every morning into a sheet, Slack or your newsletter.
• Startup and trend research: see which topics (AI, developer tools, productivity...) launch most and get the most upvotes.
• Competitor tracking: spot new products in your category the day they launch.
• Lead lists for founders and investors: collect fresh launches to reach out to makers or track deal flow.
• Datasets for analysis: build a history of launches with votes and comments for benchmarking your own launch.

✨ Features

• Launch data: name, tagline, thumbnail, featuredAt and createdAt dates in ISO format.
• Traction: upvote and comment counts at the time of the run.
• Topics: the Product Hunt topics each product is listed under.
• Three orders: Product Hunt's own ranking (today's top launches first), newest launches, or the most upvoted recent launches.
• No duplicates and fair billing: each product is saved once, you pay per saved product, and the run stops at your maximum cost per run.

🛠️ How It Works

1. Pick an order: RANKING (today's leaderboard), NEWEST or VOTES.
2. Set Max items (default 100).
3. Run the scraper and download the products, or read them through the Apify API. Empty input returns today's top launches.

⚙️ Input

Field	What it does	Default
Max items (maxItems)	How many products to save.	100
Sort order (order)	RANKING = Product Hunt's ranking, NEWEST = latest launches, VOTES = most upvoted recent launches.	RANKING

{
    "order": "NEWEST",
    "maxItems": 200
}

💰 Pricing

Pay only for the products you get. No monthly rental.

Event	Price	What you get
Product	$0.002 per product ($2.00 per 1,000)	One product with all fields below
Actor start	$0.00005 per run	Charged once when the run starts.

Examples: today's top 50 launches = $0.10 · a daily feed of 50 for a month = $3.00 · 1,000 products = $2.00.

}

featuredAt is when Product Hunt featured the product on its homepage; it is null for products that were posted but never featured. website is Product Hunt's own redirect link to the maker's site. votes and comments are the counts at the moment of the run, so a launch from this morning keeps growing during the day.

🔁 Schedule and Integrate

For a daily launches feed, schedule a run every morning (or in the evening, when today's votes have settled) with RANKING and Max items 20–50. Set it up with Apify Schedules, and send the results to Google Sheets, Slack, Zapier, Make, n8n or your own webhook through Apify integrations.

The Product Hunt Scraper works as a tool in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other MCP clients through the Apify MCP server (https://mcp.apify.com). An agent can call it with:

{ "order": "RANKING", "maxItems": 20 }

❓ FAQ

Does Product Hunt have an official API? Yes: Product Hunt has a GraphQL API for developers. It needs an app registration and an access token, has rate limits, and its terms restrict commercial use. This scraper gives you the launch data as a ready dataset with no token, app or code to maintain.

How do I get today's Product Hunt launches? Run with the default order (RANKING): the first rows are today's top launches, the same list as the Product Hunt homepage leaderboard.

Can I get the most upvoted products? Use order: "VOTES": it lists the most upvoted recent launches (roughly the last month), highest first.

Why is featuredAt empty on some products? Not every product posted to Product Hunt gets featured on the homepage. Unfeatured posts have featuredAt: null.

Do I need a Product Hunt account? No.
