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) |
