Frequently Asked Questions

Explore the API reference

Product Hunt API and scraping

What data can I retrieve with the Product Hunt API?

Retrieve the live launch feed and daily, weekly, monthly or yearly leaderboards, then read products, individual launches, written reviews, alternatives, makers, comment threads, forum discussions, topics, categories, user profiles and editorial stories. Search covers products, launches, people, topics and discussions.

How do I scrape Product Hunt launches and leaderboards?

Call Launches with view=leaderboard and a period and date, or no date for the current Pacific-time day, to retrieve ranked launches with votes, comments, ranks, hunters and topics. Without a view, Launches returns the public feed, optionally for one topic. Pass the returned nextCursor to read further leaderboard pages.

Can I scrape Product Hunt comments and forum discussions?

Yes. Comments takes a launch slug, or a forum and discussion slug, and returns top-level comments with their HTML body, votes, author and first replies. Pass a comment ID to page through the remaining replies to any comment. Forum lists the threads in a community or product forum and returns one discussion when you pass its slug.

Product Hunt: launches, reviews and alternatives

How do I find alternatives to a product on Product Hunt?

Call Product with a product slug and view=alternatives, then choose relevance, rating or recent launches. Each alternative includes its tagline, website, rating, review and follower counts, and the default Product view returns the total number of listed alternatives for the original product.

Can I track Product Hunt upvotes and daily rankings?

Yes. The Launches leaderboard view and Launch return each launch’s vote count, comment count and daily, weekly and monthly ranks. Product Hunt hides votes during a launch’s first hours; those counts are returned as null with a votes_hidden coverage warning rather than as zero.

How do I retrieve Product Hunt reviews and ratings?

Call Product with a product slug and view=reviews. Each review includes overall and aspect ratings, what the reviewer likes, dislikes and compared the product with, helpful votes and the reviewer. Sort by newest or rating, filter by star rating, and page with nextCursor.

API access and integration

How do I get a ScrapeAtlas API key and authenticate requests?

Create a ScrapeAtlas account and generate an API key in the dashboard. Send the key in the x-api-key request header when calling https://api.scrapeatlas.com. The API playground lets you enter an endpoint’s parameters and inspect its JSON response.

Can I call the scraping API from Python, JavaScript or the CLI?

Yes. Send authenticated HTTP requests from Python, JavaScript or another language that supports HTTP. The endpoint reference includes request examples and response fields. Use the ScrapeAtlas CLI for terminal workflows and pass the returned pagination values when requesting additional result pages.

Can I connect an AI assistant to the ScrapeAtlas MCP server?

Yes. Connect an MCP-compatible assistant to the ScrapeAtlas MCP server to discover and call the public platform tools with your ScrapeAtlas account. The agent reference also gives coding assistants a readable guide to the endpoints and their request schemas.
