## What's an Apify Actor?
Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".
## How to integrate an Actor?
If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.
In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):
```bash
npm install apify-client
```
In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):
```bash
pip install apify-client
```
In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):
````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash
In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).
If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).
For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.
For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).

## ๐ซ Welcome To ProductHunt LeaderBoard Scraper
### โ๏ธ About ProductHunt.com
**Product Hunt** is an American website to share and discover new [products](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_(business) "Product (business)"). It was founded by Ryan Hoover in November 2013.
Users submit products, which are listed in a linear format by day. The site includes a comments system and a voting system similar to [Hacker News](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_News "Hacker News") or [Reddit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reddit "Reddit"). The products with the most votes rise to the top of each day's list.
Products are organized into four categories; technology products ([web apps](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_apps "Web apps"), [mobile apps](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_app "Mobile app"), [hardware](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_hardware "Electronic hardware") products, etc.), [games](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Games "Games") (PC, web, mobile apps), [books](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Books "Books") and [podcasts](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podcasts "Podcasts"). A submission simply requires a product title, URL, and tagline. As of 2016, according to Hoover, the website has led to the discovery of over 100 million products across 50,000 companies.[[1]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_Hunt#cite_note-:1-1)
The site also includes a daily email list that sends out yesterday's top tech "hunts" (products) as well as a featured collection. A version of the digest is also available for games and books.
Product Hunt is also available as an [iOS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS "IOS") app, [macOS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS "MacOS") app, an [Android](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_(operating_system) "Android (operating system)") app, and [Google Chrome](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome "Google Chrome") extension. The company's headquarters is in [San Francisco](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco "San Francisco").[[2]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_Hunt#cite_note-:0-2)
The site received funding from [Y Combinator](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y_Combinator_(company) "Y Combinator (company)").

# API
You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.
## JavaScript example
```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';
// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
token: '',
});
// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
"query": [
"https://www.producthunt.com/leaderboard/daily/2024/1/1/all"
],
"limit": 5
};
// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("jupri/producthunt-leaderboard").call(input);
// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`๐พ Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
console.dir(item);
});

## Python example
```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient
# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("")
# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {
"query": ["https://www.producthunt.com/leaderboard/daily/2024/1/1/all"],
"limit": 5,
}
# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("jupri/producthunt-leaderboard").call(run_input=run_input)
# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print("๐พ Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/" + run["defaultDatasetId"])
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
print(item)
