# Product Hunt Launches API

Launches for today or a chosen day, week, month or year, with scores and ranks.

`GET /v1/product-hunt/launches` returns `data.launches`, `data.totalCount`, `data.order`, `data.period` and `data.page`. With no date it returns today. For another period, give `year` with `month`, `week` or `day`: `year=2026&month=10&day=1` for a day, `year=2026&week=40` for an ISO week, `year=2026&month=10` for a month, or `year=2025` for a year. `today=true` is explicit today and cannot be combined with a date.

`order` is the rank order the period resolved to, such as `DAILY_RANK` or `MONTHLY_RANK`, and `period` echoes the request. A period with no launches is `lookupStatus: found` with an empty list, not `not_found`. Pages hold up to 20 launches. Posts-based lists stop at the first 5,000 rows and set `page.truncated: true`, so `totalCount` can be larger than the rows you can reach.

## FAQ

### How do I request yesterday's launches?

Give the date explicitly, for example `year=2026&month=10&day=1`, or the date before today. There is no named `yesterday` value. Omitting the date means today.

### Which date combinations are valid?

`year` plus `day` and `month` for a day, `year` plus `week` for an ISO week, `year` plus `month` for a month, and `year` alone for a year. A day without a month, a month or week without a year, or a week beside a month or day is rejected. Week 53 is only valid in a 53-week year.

### How do launches differ from the leaderboard?

`launches` reads the launches for the period. `leaderboard` reads the ranked posts for the same period shape. Both return `order`, `period`, `totalCount` and a cursor, so pick the list that matches the page you are reproducing.

### How do I page through launches?

When `data.page.hasMore` is true, send `data.page.nextCursor` as `cursor` with the same period. A cursor only works with the filters that issued it. If `page.truncated` is true, more rows exist but none are available past offset 5,000, so there is no next cursor.

### How much does it cost?

Pricing is documented on the operation in the API registry (shown on this page). Confirm on every response with meta.creditsCharged: that field is the billing source of truth. Each paginated page is a separate billed request.
