Read full description

Product Hunt Launches Scraper extracts top Product Hunt launch listings and returns structured launch records with product metadata and engagement metrics. It scrapes Product Hunt pages without requiring login to collect product name and URL, tagline and full description, vote counts, comment and review counts, creation and featured timestamps, maker details (names, usernames, headlines), topic slugs and human-readable topic names, website links and thumbnail image URLs. The connector supports date-range and topic filtering, ordering by votes, daily ranking, newest, or featured timestamp, and can limit the number of launches retrieved, producing tabularized launch-level data for analysis.
