Indie Hackers Scraper - Posts & Products

Use cases
- Founder and market research - see which problems bootstrapped founders raise most often
- Content curation - build a newsletter or digest from the highest-signal discussions
- Product discovery - find recurring complaints about tools in your category
- Community trend analysis - track how topics such as pricing, churn or AI move through the community over time
- Audience research - study the language indie founders use before writing marketing copy for them
- Competitive listening - catch mentions of a product or category in founder discussions
Why Indie Hackers
Indie Hackers is one of the few places where small software businesses discuss revenue, pricing and churn openly rather than through a PR filter. For anyone selling to or building alongside bootstrapped founders, it is a more candid signal than press coverage or funding news.
Notes
upvotesandcommentsCountare snapshots at scraping time, so repeated runs let you watch a post gain traction.- Tags are author-chosen and therefore inconsistent; treat them as hints, not a taxonomy.
createdAtis often missing: Indie Hackers only renders a publication date for some post card layouts.- The Products Database is sorted by Stripe-verified revenue first, so with
maxItemsbelow the page size you get the highest-revenue products. - Founder interview transcripts and milestone posts are a different part of the site and are not included.
