How to Scrape Product Hunt Daily Launches — Free No-Code Guide (2026)

If you need to pull Product Hunt Daily Launches data at scale and there's no clean official API, this guide shows how to export it to JSON, CSV or Excel in a couple of minutes — with no scraping code to maintain.

We'll use the Product Hunt Daily Launches Scraper, a hosted scraper on the Apify platform. You only need a free Apify token — no Product Hunt Daily Launches login, no proxies, no reverse-engineering.

What data you get

Each run returns structured records with fields like:

  • name
  • tagline
  • votesCount
  • commentsCount
  • dailyRank
  • launchDate
  • topicNames
  • makerNames
  • url
  • id
  • slug
  • productSlug
  • description
  • productUrl

Results are paginated automatically — you can pull thousands of rows per run and export them as JSON, CSV, Excel, JSONL or XML.
