Product Hunt Data API
23 dedicated endpoints spanning products, launches, users, topics, collections, categories, and forums — the complete Product Hunt data surface for launch monitoring, maker intelligence, and competitive research.
What Product Hunt Unlocks
Product Hunt is where developers launch tools, founders hunt competitors, and early adopters signal intent. Most of that signal — upvotes, stack choices, review sentiment, forum discussion — is locked behind the UI. These endpoints structure the entire platform into JSON: product profiles, launch detail, maker and hunter identity, community discussion, and the taxonomy that organizes it all.
All Product Hunt Endpoints
All endpoints use POST with a JSON body and an access-token header (not Bearer). Base URL: https://api.anysite.io.

What You Can Build
Launch Monitoring
Track any product's rank trajectory across daily, weekly, and monthly leaderboards. Pull vote velocity, comment activity, and award badges as they land. Combine with launches/comments to surface maker responses and community sentiment in real time.
Maker and Hunter Intelligence
Every launch surfaces its hunter and makers. Cross-reference with users to get their Twitter username, social links, Kitty Points rank, and stack. Chain to users/stacks and users/upvotes for tool preferences and product affinities — the richest intent signal on the platform.
Competitive Research
products/alternatives returns AI-ranked competitors with similarity scores. products/reviews includes reviewer-named alternatives and a 4-dimension rating breakdown. products/customers maps the reverse stack — who uses your competitor and what they say about it.
Market and Trend Discovery
Use launches/search, topics, and categories to map the product landscape in any space. forums/search and forums/threads expose what the PH community is actually discussing — a signal that predates mainstream coverage.
