📝 Input

Everything can be set up using the simple form in the Apify Console. If you prefer to enter settings directly, this is what a full configuration looks like:

{
  "date": "2026-07-09",
  "scrapeOnlyFeatured": true,
  "leaderboardUrls": [
    "https://www.producthunt.com/leaderboard/monthly/2026/7"
  ],
  "scrapeMakers": true,
  "getComments": true,
  "enrichWithEmail": true,
  "includeRiskyEmails": false,
  "maxProducts": 100
}

Input Settings

Setting	Type	Default	What It Does
date	text	today	The launch day to collect, written as YYYY-MM-DD. Leave it empty to use the current Product Hunt day.
scrapeOnlyFeatured	yes/no	true	Keep only the products Product Hunt featured on the leaderboard that day.
leaderboardUrls	list	—	Direct leaderboard links, such as a monthly or yearly page. When you add these, they are used instead of the date above.
scrapeMakers	yes/no	false	Switch on the Product Hunt founders scraper to include the people behind each product.
getComments	yes/no	false	Also collect the discussion under each product, saved as separate rows.
enrichWithEmail	yes/no	false	Turn on the founder email finder to look for maker email addresses.
includeRiskyEmails	yes/no	false	Also keep general addresses such as info@, support@, or hello@, which are less certain to reach a specific person.
maxProducts	number	100	The most products to collect in one run.

💡 Tip: email discovery works alongside maker collection, since the addresses are found through each maker's own linked website. Switch both on together.
