Output

Each result is one row in the run's dataset (download it as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML, or read it through the API). An example row (values shortened):

{
  "kind": "launch",
  "position": 1,
  "name": "Sample App",
  "tagline": "An AI copilot for your weekly planning",
  "votes": 271,
  "launchDayVotes": 275,
  "votesHidden": false,
  "comments": 38,
  "dailyRank": 1,
  "weeklyRank": 21,
  "monthlyRank": 29,
  "topics": [
    "Artificial Intelligence",
    "Productivity"
  ],
  "launchedAt": "2026-10-11T00:01:00-07:00",
  "featured": true,
  "productSlug": "sample-app",
  "url": "https://www.producthunt.com/products/sample-app?launch=sample-app",
  "leaderboard": "daily",
  "period": "2026-10-11"
}

A record named SUMMARY in the run's key-value store says what each input returned, with any notes (for example an account that does not exist), what was charged and how much traffic the run used.

Pricing

• $0.003 per launch from a leaderboard
• $0.006 per product page, read in full (website, makers, socials, followers, reviews, promo)
• Products that don't exist are free

What typical jobs cost at the list price:

Job	Cost
Yesterday's featured leaderboard (about 30 launches)	$0.09
The same, with every product opened	$0.27
Every launch of a month, about 2,000	$6
A daily launch feed with products, for a month	about $8

On Apify's Scale and Business plans the per-event prices are lower (Store discounts). Set Maximum cost per run and the Actor stops cleanly when it is reached: you never pay more than that.

Tips

• For a daily lead feed, schedule a run each morning with the daily leaderboard, an empty date (yesterday) and Open each product on.
• Launch-day votes are hidden by Product Hunt for the first hours; run for yesterday for final numbers.
• Weekly and monthly leaderboards rank the best launches of the period; turn off Featured launches only for all of them.

Use it through the API

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("zaiq/product-hunt-scraper").call(run_input={"leaderboard": "daily", "dates": ["2026-10-11"], "maxLaunches": 30, "includeDetails": true})
for row in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(row)

JavaScript

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>' });
const run = await client.actor('zaiq/product-hunt-scraper').call({"leaderboard": "daily", "dates": ["2026-10-11"], "maxLaunches": 30, "includeDetails": true});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

HTTP (one call, results back)

curl -X POST 'https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/zaiq~product-hunt-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"leaderboard": "daily", "dates": ["2026-10-11"], "maxLaunches": 30, "includeDetails": true}'

Integrations and schedules

• Schedules: run it every hour, day or week from the Apify Console (Schedules) and keep a history of results.
• Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, Slack, Airtable: connect it through Apify's integrations, or send each finished run to a webhook.
• Datasets: results stay in the run's dataset; export them or read them by API whenever you need them.

Use it with AI agents (MCP)

Add Apify's MCP server (https://mcp.apify.com) to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code or any MCP client. The agent can find this Actor and run it for you: ask it for "yesterday's top 20 Product Hunt launches with their websites and makers". AI agents can also pay for runs directly through Apify's agentic payments.

Limits

• Only what Product Hunt shows signed-out visitors; maker emails are not on Product Hunt and are not given.
• Vote counts are hidden by Product Hunt during the first hours of a launch day; those rows say votesHidden.
• Weeks follow the ISO calendar (Monday to Sunday).
