Each launch is one row with votes, rank, topics and website. ## How to use it: 3 steps 1. **Make a free Apify account.** Apify is the cloud platform where our tools run. The free plan gives you $5 of usage every month, no credit card needed. You pay Apify, not us. 2. **Paste your input and press Start.** No code needed: you fill in a form (the input). It already has a working example. For example: `1` in Days back. Each start is one run. 3. **Download the results.** When the run ends, the results are in a table (the dataset). Open Output, press Export and pick Excel or CSV.

No login and no API token. ### Good for - Marketers: a daily list of new tools in your niche, with website and tagline, for newsletters, competitor watch or partner outreach. - Investors: the top launches of a week or month with votes, comments and rank, to spot early products. - Sales: new products with their website and public maker names, as a starting list for lead research. ### Not a good fit - The Actor does not collect emails, phone numbers or other private contact data. Makers have only public name, username and profile URL. - No comments text, reviews, followers or maker profiles. - Up to 31 days in one run. For a longer period, run it again with the next dates. - Votes and ranks are live numbers. They can change after the launch day. Today's leaderboard (`daysBack: 0`) is not final. - Only Product Hunt launches. No other launch sites. ## Price Pay per event.

No. The tool reads public leaderboard pages without login or token. ### Does it give maker emails? No. You get the public name, username and profile link only. ### Why are votes different from the website? Votes change during and after the day. A separate field keeps the launch-day count. ### Can I get non-featured launches too? Yes. Turn off featured-only to get the full daily list, except ads. ### Why are votes different from the Product Hunt page? Votes are live. They change during the day and a little after it. `launchDayVotesCount` keeps the number from the end of the launch day. `fetchedAt` shows when the row was read. ### Are all launches of a day included? With `featuredOnly: true`, you get the featured launches. With `featuredOnly: false`, you get all launches on the daily leaderboard, except ads. ## Data fields - `name` (string): Launch name as shown on Product Hunt. - `tagline` (string): One-line tagline. - `url` (string): Product Hunt launch page URL. - `productUrl` (string): Product Hunt product page URL (all launches of the product). - `website` (string): Product website. Null when includeDetails is off or the launch has no link. - `votesCount` (integer): Current upvote count. Null when Product Hunt does not return it (never 0 for missing). - `launchDayVotesCount` (integer): Upvotes at the end of the launch day. - `votesHidden` (boolean): True when the maker hides the vote count on the page. - `commentsCount` (integer): Number of comments. - `rank` (integer): Daily leaderboard rank; null for launches without a rank (e.g. not featured). - `weeklyRank` (integer): Weekly leaderboard rank, if any. - `monthlyRank` (integer): Monthly leaderboard rank, if any. - `topics` (array): Topic names, e.g. Artificial Intelligence. - `topicSlugs` (array): Topic slugs, e.g. artificial-intelligence. - `makers` (array): Makers: public display name, username and profile URL only. [] = none listed; null = details not fetched. - `hunter` (object): Hunter who posted the launch: public name, username and profile URL. - `description` (string): Launch description text. - `pricingType` (string): Pricing as set by the maker, e.g. free, free_options, payment_required. - `featured` (boolean): True when Product Hunt featured the launch. - `launchDate` (string): Leaderboard day (YYYY-MM-DD, Pacific Time) the row comes from. - `launchedAt` (string): Launch time, ISO 8601 UTC. - `thumbnail` (string): Thumbnail image URL. - `postId` (string): Product Hunt post ID. - `slug` (string): Launch slug. - `productSlug` (string): Product slug. - `detailsStatus` (string): ok = details fetched; not_found = launch page no longer exists (leaderboard fields only); skipped = details not read: includeDetails off, or Product Hunt changed its launch page (then RUN_SUMMARY.detailsUnavailable is true). - `source` (string): Data source attribution. - `fetchedAt` (string): When the row was read, ISO 8601 UTC. ## Input settings - `daysBack` (integer): How many full days before today to read, e.g. 1 = yesterday's final leaderboard, 7 = the last 7 days. 0 = today's live leaderboard (votes still change). Ignored when dateFrom or dateTo is set. Good for daily schedules: no dates to edit. - `dateFrom` (string): First leaderboard day, YYYY-MM-DD (Pacific Time), e.g. 2026-10-01. Use with dateTo for a period of up to 31 days; alone it reads that one day. - `dateTo` (string): Last leaderboard day, YYYY-MM-DD, not in the future. Alone it reads that one day. - `featuredOnly` (boolean): On (default): the launches Product Hunt features on the daily leaderboard, usually 10–60 a day. Off: also the non-featured launches of the day, often several hundred. - `topics` (array): Keep launches tagged with any of these Product Hunt topics, by name or slug, e.g. Artificial Intelligence, developer-tools, Marketing. Up to 20. Empty = all topics. - `minVotes` (integer): Keep launches with at least this many upvotes (current count). 0 = no vote filter. The Actor stops reading a day once votes fall below this value; under 10 it can rarely skip a launch. - `includeDetails` (boolean): On (default): one extra request per launch for website, makers, hunter, description and pricing. Off: leaderboard fields only (name, tagline, votes, rank, topics); faster, and those fields are null. - `maxItems` (integer): Stop after this many launch rows in total (1–10000). Newest day first. Each row is one paid result. ## Step by step on Apify 1. Open the Input tab. 2. Keep Days back (`daysBack`) = `1`. This reads yesterday's final leaderboard. 3. Keep Max launches (`maxItems`) = `20`, or set your own number. 4. Optional: add Topics (`topics`), for example `artificial-intelligence`. 5. Click Start. 6. Open the Output tab and check the Launches view: `rank`, `name`, `votesCount`, `website`. ## Use cases | Task | Input | You get | Key fields | Next step | |---|---|---|---|---| | Daily digest of new tools | `daysBack: 1`, `topics` | Launch | `name`, `tagline`, `website`, `topics` | Schedule + export to Sheets or Slack | | Top launches of a week for deal flow | `dateFrom`, `dateTo`, `minVotes` | Launch | `rank`, `votesCount`, `commentsCount`, `weeklyRank` | CSV / Excel | | Lead list of new products | `daysBack: 7`, `topics` | Launch | `website`, `makers`, `productUrl` | Your CRM via API | | Full day, also non-featured | `featuredOnly: false` | Launch | `featured`, `rank`, `votesCount` | Dataset API | ## Tips - Filter by topic and minimum votes to keep only strong launches. - Use yesterday, not today; today's leaderboard is not final. - For 31 days with details, set the timeout to 3600 seconds. ## Limits - Up to 31 days and 10,000 rows per run; up to 150 leaderboard pages per day. - Speed: about 1 leaderboard page per second; details add about 0.5 seconds per row. A page read from the site's HTML (see below) takes a few seconds more. - Default timeout is 30 minutes. 31 days with all launches and details may need more: set timeout to 3600 seconds. When time runs out, the Actor saves what it has and ends with `PARTIAL`, reason `DEADLINE`. - `PARTIAL` means some data was not read, but the saved rows are correct. `RUN_SUMMARY.reason` says why: `DEADLINE` (time limit), `CHARGE_LIMIT` (your maximum charge), `REQUEST_CAP` (internal request limit) or `SOURCE_ERROR` (Product Hunt failed after retries). A `PARTIAL` run with `SOURCE_ERROR` ends as FAILED on Apify, with its rows kept. - Rows from a `PARTIAL` run can have `website` and `makers` = `null` when details were not read. `detailsStatus` shows this for each row. ## Sample result ```json { "name": "ngram 2.0", "tagline": "Create explainers, screencasts, and AI avatar videos", "url": "https://www.producthunt.com/products/ngram/launches/ngram-2-0-2", "productUrl": "https://www.producthunt.com/products/ngram", "website": "https://www.ngram.com", "votesCount": 269, "launchDayVotesCount": 248, "votesHidden": false, "commentsCount": 42, "rank": 2, "weeklyRank": 3, "monthlyRank": 35, "topics": ["Education", "Artificial Intelligence", "Video"], "topicSlugs": ["education", "artificial-intelligence", "video"], "makers": [{ "name": "…", "username": "…", "profileUrl": "https://www.producthunt.com/@…" }], "hunter": { "name": "…", "username": "…", "profileUrl": "https://www.producthunt.com/@…" }, "description": "Turn ideas, documents, and recordings into narrated videos…", "pricingType": "free_options", "featured": true, "launchDate": "2026-10-12", "launchedAt": "2026-10-12T07:01:00.000Z", "thumbnail": "https://ph-files.imgix.net/ff626e36-21c0-49e6-9937-f794c9825256.png", "postId": "1266889", "slug": "ngram-2-0-2", "productSlug": "ngram", "detailsStatus": "ok", "source": "Product Hunt (https://www.producthunt.com/)", "fetchedAt": "2026-10-14T03:40:18.334Z" } ``` ## Use it from code Actor ID: `cliqtomedia/product-hunt-launches` ```python from apify_client import ApifyClient client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN") run = client.actor("cliqtomedia/product-hunt-launches").call(run_input={ "daysBack": 1, "featuredOnly": True }) for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items(): print(item) ``` ```bash curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/cliqtomedia~product-hunt-launches/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"daysBack": 1, "featuredOnly": true}' ``` ```python # pip install langchain-apify # set APIFY_TOKEN in your environment from langchain_apify import ApifyActorsTool tool = ApifyActorsTool("cliqtomedia/product-hunt-launches") result = tool.invoke({"run_input": {"daysBack": 1, "featuredOnly": True}}) print(result) ``` run-sync waits up to 300 seconds; for longer runs start a run and use a webhook.
