Product Hunt Scraper

Scrape trending products from Product Hunt using the Apify maximedupre/product-hunt-scraper actor.

Output fields: Each product has name, tagline, description, url (Product Hunt URL), and additional fields depending on the actor's output.

Quick Start

Requires APIFY_API_TOKEN env var (or --token flag).

# Today's top products
python3 skills/product-hunt-scraper/scripts/scrape_producthunt.py \
  --time-period daily --max-products 10 --output summary

# This week's products filtered by keyword
python3 skills/product-hunt-scraper/scripts/scrape_producthunt.py \
  --time-period weekly --keywords "AI,marketing" --output summary

# Monthly top products as JSON
python3 skills/product-hunt-scraper/scripts/scrape_producthunt.py \
  --time-period monthly --max-products 50

CLI Reference

| Flag | Default | Description |

|------|---------|-------------|

| --time-period | weekly | daily, weekly, or monthly |

| --max-products | 50 | Max products to scrape |

| --keywords | none | Keywords to filter (comma-separated, OR logic) |

| --output | json | Output format: json or summary |

| --token | env var | Apify token (prefer APIFY_API_TOKEN env var) |

  • Results are sorted by upvote count (descending)

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take gooseworks-ai/product-hunt-scraper from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
