Product Hunt moves fast. If you are tracking what ships in your category, polling HTML pages breaks within a week. This API exposes rankings and category slices as stable HTTP resources.

What you get

Endpoints cover daily/weekly/monthly/yearly leaderboards, 240+ categories, today’s launches, and upcoming products. Responses are cached server-side so repeat reads stay fast for dashboards.

Example request

curl "https://data-apis.elormdokosi.com/producthunt/categories"

For a specific slice, hit category or ranking routes documented on the ProductHunt API page.

When to use it

  • Product discovery — alert when a competitor launches in your tag.
  • Trend analysis — compare weekly winners across categories.
  • Startup monitoring — feed a newsletter or internal Slack digest.

Playground

Open Lab → playground, pick ProductHunt, and paste your API key. Full parameter list lives on /apis/producthunt.
