Common use cases

• Track new-product launches
• Mine product ideas and positioning
• Feed competitor-watch pipelines
• Build startup datasets

Compared to alternatives

• vs other Product Hunt scrapers on the Store — pay-per-result billing means empty or failed searches cost nothing; you are not charged for a run that returns zero rows.
• vs building your own — no proxy management, markup-change maintenance, or infrastructure to run; paste inputs and consume the dataset.

Limitations

• Public launch data only — no private maker info, maker email, or contact details.
• Vote counts and comment counts are a snapshot at run time; they keep changing through launch day, so re-run to track momentum.
• The feed covers current and recent launches; depth for older launches depends on what Product Hunt's public feed still exposes, not a full historical archive.
• searchTerms matches against product name, tagline, and maker name only — it does not search full launch descriptions or comments.

FAQ

Do I need an account or cookies?

No — the Actor reads public data only. There is no login to configure and no account to risk.

What happens when a search returns nothing?

The run completes with zero (or an explicit error) rows. Per-result billing means you are not charged for empty output.

Can I run it on a schedule?

Yes — attach an Apify schedule or use the saved tasks to re-run the same inputs daily or weekly.
