Product Hunt Scraper — Leaderboards & Product Leads

Scrape Product Hunt daily leaderboards and product pages into clean structured rows — no login, no cookies, no browser. Built for startup/product lead generation and market research.

Two ways to use it

1. Leaderboard dates → the day's ranked launches

Give one or more dates (2026-07-28, 2026/7/28, or a full leaderboard URL). You get every ranked launch on that day: daily / weekly / monthly rank, score, comment count, topics, product slug.

By default each launch is also enriched from its product page (enrichFromLeaderboard: true) so every row carries the product's website URL, domain, rating, review count, followers and social links. Turn it off for a faster, rank-only pull.

2. Product URLs / slugs → the full product record

Give product slugs (lovable) or URLs (https://www.producthunt.com/products/lovable). You get the full record: website URL, website domain, star rating, review count, followers, categories, AI-derived pro/con tags, and social links (Twitter/X, LinkedIn, GitHub, Facebook, Instagram).

Provide at least one of the two inputs. You can mix both in one run.

Output fields (per row)

source, daily_rank, weekly_rank, monthly_rank, latest_score, launch_day_score, comments_count, featured_at, post_topics, leaderboard_url, product_id, product_slug, product_name, product_tagline, product_url, website_url, website_domain, clean_url, reviews_rating, reviews_count, followers_count, posts_count, categories_count, was_in_ycombinator, funding_amount, employee_size, twitter_url, linkedin_url, github_url, facebook_url, instagram_url, logo_uuid, categories, pro_tags, con_tags, scraped_at.

Proxy

Residential (US) proxy is required. Product Hunt hard-blocks datacenter proxies with a Cloudflare interstitial; residential US measured 14/15 (93%) usable on a sustained mixed load, with transient rate-limits cleared automatically by retrying on a fresh exit IP. The default proxy config is already set correctly — leave it as-is.

Scope notes / limits

• Maker / team names are not included. Product Hunt does not ship the maker list in the anonymous page payload (it is loaded behind session state), so it is deliberately out of scope rather than guessed at.
• The leaderboard row set reflects the ranked launches present in the page's initial payload for that day. Vote/score counts are finalized on the leaderboard pages (unlike the live homepage, where Product Hunt hides scores during a launch's active day).
• website_url retains Product Hunt's outbound tracking query (e.g. ?via=product-hunt); use website_domain / clean_url for the bare domain.
