Product Hunt daily launch leads: ranked launches, traction and the makers behind them
Product Hunt is where new tech products launch every day — the earliest public signal of a new startup, tool or app. The Product Hunt Scraper turns the daily leaderboard into clean rows: name, tagline, upvotes, rank, topics, comment count and launch date, plus each product's makers (with profiles) and, on demand, the external website — the lead. Give it a date or a range; nothing to set up, no login. Read through the official Product Hunt API.
Who it's for
- B2B sellers reaching founders the day they launch, with the website and maker names.
- Market and competitor trackers watching what launches in a topic, ranked by traction.
- Investors sourcing early-stage products with an engagement signal.
- Analysts building a daily feed of new launches.

{ "dateFrom": "2026-10-05", "dateTo": "2026-10-11", "topic": "Artificial Intelligence", "includeMakers": true }Honest limits
- Launches, not firmographics — for established-company data, enrich a product's
websitewith a company-enrichment actor; this reads the public leaderboard. - Website empty without
includeMakers, and a product without a listed website returns none, never fabricated; a few launches list no makers. - "Could not read the leaderboard" is a transient upstream hiccup — the run reports it honestly and never ships empty rows; re-run in a few minutes.
Pricing
Pay per result: $0.005 per delivered launch. Blocked or empty days are never billed, and turning on makers adds one request per product but the price is unchanged. Current prices are on the actor's Pricing tab on Apify.
Catch every launch: the daily leaderboard with upvotes, topics, makers and websites — a daily outreach or sourcing feed. Exportable to JSON, CSV or Excel.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a Product Hunt API token or login?
No. You supply nothing — no token, no login, no account. Give it a date and it returns the leaderboard, read through the official Product Hunt API over Apify's free datacenter proxy.
How do I scrape the daily leaderboard?
Leave the dates empty for yesterday (a day's ranking settles after it ends), or set dateFrom and dateTo to sweep a range.
Can I get the makers and website of each product?
The makers, with profiles (username, headline, X/Twitter), come on every row. Turn on includeMakers to also resolve each product's external website — the lead.
How do I get launches for a specific topic?
Set the topic filter, for example Artificial Intelligence, SaaS or Developer Tools; only launches whose topics contain that text are kept.
How current is the data?
Every run reads the live leaderboard. The default is yesterday, since a day's ranking settles after it ends. Blocked or empty days are never billed.
Using the data lawfully
It reads only the publicly published leaderboard — product data, through the official API. Results can contain personal data (maker names), protected by the GDPR and similar laws, so only process it with a legitimate basis. Not affiliated with Product Hunt, Inc.
