# Product Hunt — Launch Data Extraction
> Input: date/period parameters → Output: structured product launch data with maker profiles and website contact info
## Language
All process output to user (progress updates, process notifications) follows the user's language.
## Objective
Extract complete product launch data from Product Hunt leaderboard pages, enriched with maker profile information and product website contact details.
## Prerequisites
- Browser session is open and can access producthunt.com
- Cloudflare challenge may appear on first visit; use `solve-captcha` or wait for auto-pass
## Pre-execution Checks
### 1. Tool Readiness
If browser-act has been confirmed available in the current session → skip this step.
Invoke `browser-act` via Skill tool to load usage. If installation or configuration issues arise, follow its guidance to resolve then retry.
### 2. Cloudflare Verification
Product Hunt uses Cloudflare protection. On first navigation:
1. Navigate to target URL
2. If page title shows "Just a moment..." → `wait stable --timeout 15000` then check title again
3. If still blocked → `solve-captcha`
4. Verify page loaded: title should contain "Product Hunt" or "Best of Product Hunt"
## Capability Components
> This Skill's operational boundary = what the user can manually do in their browser. It only reads data already displayed to the user on the page, never bypassing authentication or access controls. JS code is encapsulated in Python files under the `scripts/` directory, invoked via `eval "$(python scripts/xxx.py)"`. `$(...)` is bash syntax; use the bash tool for execution.
### DOM: Extract product list from leaderboard page
Navigate to the target leaderboard URL first, then extract:
`eval "$(python scripts/extract-leaderboard.py)"`
URL patterns (navigate to the appropriate one before extraction):
- Daily: `https://www.producthunt.com/leaderboard/daily/{YYYY}/{M}/{DD}/all`
- Weekly: `https://www.producthunt.com/leaderboard/weekly/{YYYY}/{week-number}/all`
- Monthly: `https://www.producthunt.com/leaderboard/monthly/{YYYY}/{M}/all`
- Yearly: `https://www.producthunt.com/leaderboard/yearly/{YYYY}/all`
Replace `all` with `featured` for featured-only products.
Output example:
```json
[
{
"rank": 1,
"name": "Product Name",
"tagline": "Short product description",
"categories": ["Productivity", "AI"],
"thumbnail": "https://ph-files.imgix.net/...",
"upvotes": 135,
"comments": 42,
"url": "https://www.producthunt.com/products/product-slug",
"slug": "product-slug"
}
]
```
### DOM: Extract launch detail page
Navigate to the launch page URL first (`https://www.producthunt.com/products/{slug}/launches/{launch-slug}`), then extract:
`eval "$(python scripts/extract-launch-detail.py)"`
To find the launch URL from a product page: navigate to `https://www.producthunt.com/products/{slug}` and look for links matching `/products/{slug}/launches/{launch-slug}`.
Output example:
```json
{
"name": "Product Name",
"tagline": "Short product tagline",
"description": "Full product description from OG meta",
"categories": ["Productivity", "Social Media"],
"images": ["https://ph-files.imgix.net/gallery1.png", "https://ph-files.imgix.net/gallery2.png"],
"websiteUrl": "https://product-website.com/?ref=producthunt",
"upvotes": 135,
"launchDate": "2025-05-27T07:26:33-07:00",
"makers": [{"href": "/@username", "name": "Maker Name"}],
"ogImage": "https://ph-files.imgix.net/og-image.png"
}
```
### DOM: Extract maker profile
Navigate to maker profile URL (`https://www.producthunt.com/@{username}`), then extract:
`eval "$(python scripts/extract-maker-profile.py)"`
Output example:
```json
{
"name": "Maker Name",
"slug": "@username",
"headline": "Creating SaaS Products",
"aboutText": "Bio text about the maker",
"links": ["https://twitter.com/username", "https://linkedin.com/in/username"],
"followers": 22,
"url": "https://www.producthunt.com/@username"
}
```
### DOM: Extract website email and content
Navigate to the product website URL, wait for load, then extract:
`eval "$(python scripts/extract-website-content.py)"`
Alternatively, use `stealth-extract` for faster extraction without a browser session:
`stealth-extract {website-url} --content-type markdown` then parse the markdown for email patterns.
Output example:
```json
{
"title": "Product Website Title",
"url": "https://product-website.com",
"email": "contact@product-website.com",
"allEmails": ["contact@product-website.com", "support@product-website.com"],
"websiteRawText": "Full visible text content of the website..."
}
```
### Composite: Full product extraction (leaderboard + detail + maker + website)
Complete pipeline replicating the full Product Hunt scraper workflow:
1. Navigate to leaderboard page → `wait stable` → `eval "$(python scripts/extract-leaderboard.py)"`
2. For each product from step 1:
a. Navigate to `https://www.producthunt.com/products/{slug}` → find launch link → navigate to launch page
b. `wait stable` → `eval "$(python scripts/extract-launch-detail.py)"` → get full details + maker links + website URL
3. (Optional, if `scrapeMakers` is enabled) For each unique maker from step 2:
a. Navigate to `https://www.producthunt.com/{maker.href}` → `wait stable` → `eval "$(python scripts/extract-maker-profile.py)"`
4. (Optional, if `scrapeWebsite` is enabled) For each product website URL from step 2:
a. Navigate to website URL → `wait stable` → `eval "$(python scripts/extract-website-content.py)"`
5. Merge all data by product slug
