## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

### Why Product Hunt Email Scraper - Fast, Advanced and Cheapest?

There are a lot of ways to pull data from Product Hunt — here’s what sets **Product Hunt Email Scraper - Fast, Advanced and Cheapest** apart.

#### Keyword and domain controlled email discovery

You control what the actor looks for using `keywords` and `customDomains` (like `@gmail.com`). That makes this Product Hunt email scraper practical for building targeted lead lists instead of collecting noisy addresses.

#### Fast lead list building with practical limits

You can cap the run with `maxEmails` to control cost and scraping time. The scraper stops once the unique email limit is reached (so it’s predictable for bulk export product hunt emails workflows).

#### Resumes progress so you don’t lose work

If a run stops, it can resume using stored progress (cursor + already seen emails). This reliability is valuable when you’re scraping product hunt leads extractor style across multiple keyword and domain combinations.

#### Deduplicated emails across the run

The actor tracks `seen_emails` and avoids pushing duplicates. This is especially helpful when you’re scraping startup founder emails and need clean outputs for outreach and CRM import.

***

### Configuring Your Run

Drop this into your `input.json` to get started:

```json
{
  "keywords": ["founder", "manager"],
  "location": "San Francisco, CA",
  "customDomains": ["@gmail.com", "@yahoo.com"],
  "maxEmails": 50
}
```

| Parameter | Required | What It Does |
|---|---|---|
| `keywords` | ✅ | A list of keywords or queries to search for when looking for relevant Product Hunt contacts |
| `location` | ⬜ | Adds a location filter to narrow results to a specific area (leave empty for no location filter) |
| `customDomains` | ⬜ | Limits results to emails that match the domains you specify (example: `@gmail.com`, `@yahoo.com`) |
| `maxEmails` | ⬜ | Stops the run once this many unique emails have been collected (helps control runtime and cost) |

***

### Core Capabilities

#### Targeted email-domain filtering

With `customDomains`, this product hunt contact email finder focuses on emails from the domains that match your outreach strategy. For example, you can prioritize personal domains like `@gmail.com` or broaden for B2B coverage by adding more extensions.

#### Flexible keyword searches for different roles

Use `keywords` to tailor the list to roles you care about (for example, “founder”, “manager”). This makes the tool useful for an email extraction tool for startups and for automated lead generation from Product Hunt.

#### Resilient, resumable scraping runs

The actor saves progress as it goes and can pick up where it left off. If you’re running bigger scrapes, that reduces the risk of losing already-collected results mid-run.

#### Unique email deduplication

It keeps a `seen_emails` set and only pushes new unique emails. That helps you avoid redundant rows when exporting your results or merging with other sources.

#### Dataset-first output for quick exports

Each discovered contact is pushed immediately into the Apify dataset, so you can monitor progress and export as JSON, CSV, or Excel when you’re done. This supports bulk export product hunt emails without waiting for the entire run to finish.

Overall, this Product Hunt outreach email list builder is designed to turn your keyword and domain strategy into a usable dataset quickly.

### Frequently Asked Questions

#### Is there a free plan or trial?

Yes. Apify provides a free tier for trying the Product Hunt email scraper with smaller runs and testing your keyword and domain setup.

#### Do I need to log in to Product Hunt to use this?

No. This actor extracts emails from publicly available sources, so you can run it without any login credentials.

#### How accurate is the data?

Accuracy depends on what email addresses are published on the underlying public pages. The actor extracts emails that match your `customDomains` and provides the associated `description` text for context.

#### How many results can I get per run?

You control the maximum by using `maxEmails`, which stops the run once the unique email limit is reached. If results are sparse for your filters, you may get fewer emails than your requested limit.

#### How often is the data updated / how fresh is it?

Freshness depends on when you run the actor. Each run scrapes publicly available data at runtime, so rerunning periodically is the easiest way to refresh your Product Hunt outreach email list.

#### Is this legal? Does it comply with GDPR / CCPA?

The actor works with **publicly available data**, but compliance (including GDPR and CCPA) is your responsibility. Make sure your use of the collected emails follows applicable laws and platform policies.

#### Can I export results to Google Sheets or Excel?

Yes. You can export the dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Apify dashboard, and then import it into your preferred tools such as spreadsheets.

#### Can I run this on a schedule automatically?

Yes. You can schedule Apify actor runs so your scraped leads stay updated automatically—use API-driven or built-in scheduling options available on Apify.

#### Can I access this via API?

Yes. You can integrate with the Apify API to trigger runs and retrieve dataset outputs programmatically. See https://apify.com/docs/api for details.

#### What happens if the actor hits an error?

If an error prevents further scraping, you still have progress captured up to that point thanks to saved cursor state and already seen emails. You can then rerun to continue and build on what was collected.
