02 Capabilities
One API, everything Product Hunt throws at you.
Product Hunt loads its launch feeds, upvotes and comments from GraphQL after the page paints, and guards the homepage and product pages hard. The Crawling API renders it in a real browser, reaches it through residential IPs, and hands you clean HTML or JSON.
render
Full JavaScript rendering
A real browser executes the page, so GraphQL-loaded launches, upvote counts, comments and media are all captured, not just the initial HTML.
proxies
140M residential IPs
Every request rotates a residential IP across 30 geographies, so you reach Product Hunt like a real local visitor.
anti-bot
Blocks handled for you
CAPTCHAs, bot walls and rate limits are cleared automatically. Nothing to solve, nothing to maintain.
format
HTML or JSON
Get the full rendered HTML, or add scraper=producthunt-leaderboard or producthunt-product to return leaderboards and launches as structured JSON.
extras
Screenshots and async
The same call can capture a full-page screenshot, or run asynchronously with webhooks and cloud storage.
one token
One API for every site
The Crawling API works on any URL, so the same token covers Product Hunt and everything else you crawl. See the live demo.
03 Output
Every leaderboard field, as clean JSON.
Send a leaderboard URL with scraper=producthunt-leaderboard and the leaderboard comes back as typed JSON. Swap in producthunt-product to do the same for a single launch.

04 How it works
From URL to data in one call.
Every Product Hunt request moves through the same path. You send a URL, we operate everything in between.
01
Send the URL
Pass any public Product Hunt URL with your token: the homepage feed, a product, a topic or a maker profile.
02
Rotate a proxy
A residential IP and geography that reach Product Hunt cleanly, drawn from 140M IPs across 30 regions.
03
Render the page
A real browser loads the page so GraphQL launch feeds, upvote counts and comments render before capture.
04
Clear anti-bot
Product Hunt's aggressive bot detection on the homepage and product pages is handled automatically. Nothing to solve, nothing to maintain.
05
Return HTML or JSON
The fully rendered HTML comes back, or typed JSON when you add producthunt-leaderboard or producthunt-product.

06 Notes
Good to know when scraping Product Hunt.
Rendered like a real browser
Product Hunt loads launches, upvotes and comments from GraphQL after paint; the Crawling API runs a real browser so they all render before capture.
HTML by default, JSON on request
You get the full rendered HTML. Add scraper=producthunt-leaderboard or scraper=producthunt-product for parsed, typed JSON, or parse the HTML yourself.
Public pages only
The Crawling API reads publicly visible pages, with no login, so you get what a logged-out visitor sees.
Reach Product Hunt from anywhere
Geotargeting across 30 regions and 140M residential IPs means consistent access without managing proxies.
07 Why Crawlbase
Built to crawl Product Hunt at scale.
The Crawling API runs on the same network that serves 46,000+ paying customers and 70,000+ developers. No proxies to buy, no browsers to run, nothing to patch when Product Hunt changes.

Product Hunt scraping questions.
