Uneed Scraper

🧭 Turn Uneed products into research data

Uneed Scraper helps founders, marketers, analysts, and partnership teams collect public Uneed products as structured data. It returns product pages, descriptions, categories, pricing labels, launch signals, contacts, media URLs, engagement, and founder-disclosed business details when Uneed publishes them. Use the results to research products, follow launches, compare alternatives, find public contact paths, and review source-published business information.

• Build a product catalog with Uneed product research, including names, categories, tags, pricing labels, and descriptions.
• Track the current launch ladder with Uneed launch tracking, including votes, clicks, launch dates, and promotion status.
• Compare categories, tags, and alternatives with Uneed competitor analysis.
• Find product websites, maker links, social profiles, and public website emails with Uneed startup lead generation.
• Review ratings, comments, reviews, upvoters, and public participant profiles with Uneed product engagement analysis.
• Check source-published sale status, asking prices, revenue, profit, team size, and technologies with Uneed startup acquisition research.

📦 Uneed product data

Each saved row represents the first eligible occurrence of one successfully collected public Uneed product. If the same product appears again through another URL or source path in the same run, the later match is ignored. The row keeps source-backed values and leaves unavailable optional values as null or []; it does not infer facts.

• Product ID, slug, name, canonical Uneed URL, website, tagline, and rich description
• Category, tags, pricing label, rating, clicks, votes, launch date, and listing date
• Promoted, premium, dofollow, and for-sale status
• Source-hosted logo, screenshot and media URLs, deals, and rewards
• Maker profiles, product social links, and public website emails
• Reviews, comments, individual upvoters, and participant profile and audience details
• Founder-disclosed revenue, profit, currency, team size, technologies, asking price, and sale URL

Optional facts remain null or [] when Uneed or the linked public website does not publish them. Logos and media are returned as source URLs rather than copied into Apify storage.

🚀 Run Uneed product research

1. Choose one Target.
2. Add the matching URLs when using product, category, tag, or alternatives pages.
3. Set Product limit for a discovery Target. Leave it empty to return all available results until the source is exhausted, or enter a positive number for a bounded run.
4. Choose whether to include source-marked promoted listings.
5. Run the Actor and open the dataset from the Output tab.

The default Target collects the latest populated Uneed daily ladder. No Uneed login, cookies, or source API key is required for public data.

⚙️ Input

Choose one Target per run. Fields from other source sections are ignored. Product page URLs use the submitted list, while the other Targets discover products from their matching public Uneed surface.

Input fields

Field	Type	What it does
target	string	Chooses currentLaunch, productPages, categoryPages, tagPages, alternativesPages, or fullCatalog.
startUrls	array of objects	Supplies public Uneed product page URLs for productPages.
startUrls[].url	string	Holds one public Uneed product page URL.
categoryUrls	array of objects	Supplies public Uneed category page URLs for categoryPages.
categoryUrls[].url	string	Holds one public Uneed category page URL.
tagUrls	array of objects	Supplies public Uneed tag or best-products-by-tag page URLs for tagPages.

maxNbItemsToScrape	integer	Limits products found through currentLaunch, categoryPages, tagPages, alternativesPages, or fullCatalog. Leave it empty to return all available results until the source is exhausted. Enter a positive number for a bounded discovery run. Product page URLs are always processed as the submitted list.
shouldIncludePromotedListings	boolean	Includes source-marked paid or promoted Uneed listings with organic products during discovery. It does not change productPages.

currentLaunch uses the latest populated Uneed daily ladder and needs no URL list. fullCatalog discovers product locations through Uneed's public tools sitemap. Directly requested product pages are always researched, even when discovery-only options do not apply.

Leave Product limit empty to return all available results until the source is exhausted. Product page URLs are always processed as the submitted fixed list.

Removed, private, unsupported, failed, and diagnostic outcomes stay out of the dataset. The first eligible occurrence of a product is saved, and later matches for that product are ignored.

💳 Pricing

The Actor charges one uneed-product event for each successfully saved public Uneed product. A run with no saved product has no product event. Failed, diagnostic, and setup work also has no product event. There is no separate Actor-start event. Optional website-email and engagement enrichment have no separate Actor-owned event.

🔌 Integrations

Export results from Apify as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, or HTML. Use the Apify API to start runs and retrieve datasets, schedule repeat research, trigger webhooks, or connect datasets to supported Apify integrations.

❓ FAQ

Can I scrape one specific Uneed product?

Yes. Choose productPages and provide one or more public /tool/... URLs in startUrls. This fixed list is processed independently of the discovery limit.

Can I use more than one Uneed source surface in a run?

No. Choose one Target per run. Use the matching URL list for Product pages, Category pages, Tag pages, or Alternatives pages.

Why did a run return no product rows?

Check that the Target matches the submitted URL list. A discovery Target needs a matching public Uneed source, and productPages needs public /tool/... URLs in startUrls. A run can have no rows when the selected source has no eligible products.

Can I exclude promoted products?

Yes. Keep shouldIncludePromotedListings set to false for discovery Targets. Filtering relies on Uneed's public promotion markers. Directly requested product pages are still researched.

Why are some emails, reviews, or business fields empty?

These fields are optional. Website email discovery is best effort, and Uneed products or linked websites may not publish contacts, engagement, or founder-disclosed business facts. The Actor does not infer missing values.

Can I collect the whole public catalog?

Choose fullCatalog and leave maxNbItemsToScrape empty to return all available results until the source is exhausted. This discovers product locations through Uneed's public tools sitemap and may take longer than a focused category, tag, or product-page run.

Does this use a private Uneed API or account?

No. The Actor collects publicly accessible data without Uneed credentials and does not bypass private pages or access controls.
