Before you run: input checklist

Check	What to do
Date format	archiveDate uses YYYY-MM-DD (pick it in the date picker). The Actor reads producthunt.com/leaderboard/daily/YYYY/MM/DD/all.
One date per run	Each run covers one day. For a week or month, run one task per date or loop over dates via the API, n8n or Make.
All launches, not just the top 10	The scraper scrolls through the whole leaderboard, so a busy day can return several hundred launches. Each one is a billed result.
Today's date	Ranks and scores change throughout the launch day. Scrape the previous day for final numbers.
Proxy	Nothing to configure. US residential proxies are built in.

How much does it cost?

Pay-per-event pricing: $0.01 per launch ($10 per 1,000). Apify platform usage (headless browser and residential proxies) is included, plus a negligible $0.00005 start fee per run.

A full day usually has a few hundred launches. For example, 15 September 2025 returned 250 launches, about $2.50. Apify's free $5 monthly credit covers about 500 launches, roughly two full days of Product Hunt history, for $0. Want to cap spend? Set a maximum cost per run in the run options. The Pricing tab always shows the live rate.

FAQ

Do I need a Product Hunt account or API token?

No. The scraper reads the public daily leaderboard. No login, cookies or Product Hunt API keys needed.

Can I scrape a date range?

Each run covers one date. Loop over dates with the API, n8n or Make, or create one saved task per date, then merge datasets.

Does it include makers, reviews and websites?

Not in this list view. Pass productURL to Product Hunt Product Details Scraper for makers, reviews, website, socials, alternatives and launch history.

Why is votesCount missing?

Product Hunt doesn't always expose raw vote counts on the leaderboard. Use launchDayScore and latestScore, which track upvotes.

Can I export Product Hunt data to CSV or Excel?

Yes. Download from the run's Storage tab (CSV, Excel, JSON, XML) or via the dataset API with format=csv.
