FAQ

Common questions

What are the four modes? +

leaderboard reads the daily, weekly or monthly board for every date in your range. topics returns the products in a topic with their latest launch, plus rating, review count, followers and launch count. products returns every launch of a product. comments returns one row per comment and reply.

What is charged per row? +

$0.00149 on the Apify free plan and $0.00089 on Gold and above for each row delivered, plus a $0.005 start fee on every run. A launch found twice in one run is charged once, and a caught up onlyNewItems run delivers no rows and still costs that $0.005.

Do I need the Product Hunt API? +

No token to apply for, no login and no cookies. Everything is read from public pages. A test on 29 October 2026 returned 17 launches in 13 seconds, and three daily boards from early October gave all 98 featured launches in 52 seconds.

Why do older launches still have makers? +

Because the actor asks for them one at a time. A product page only spotlights recent launches, so reading that page alone loses the makers of older ones. On Cursor's 11 launches back to 2025, all 11 came back with makers, hunter, link and description.

Featured launches or every launch? +

featuredOnly is on by default and gives the launches Product Hunt features, 26 to 39 a day in early October 2026. Switch it off for every launch of the period, often 300 or more a day. A weekly test returned 300 launches of one week in 40 seconds.
