About this endpoint
GET /v1/product-hunt/search?query=notion returns data.query, data.type, data.results, data.totalCount and data.page. type defaults to all and can be product, user, post, topic or category; type=product returns the products tab first. A result carries the fields that belong to its kind: a user has username, headline and followersCount; a post has slug and createdAt; a product has tagline and its review counts; a topic or category has slug and name. Irrelevant fields are omitted rather than returned as null.
Results are best match first, up to 20 per page. Pass data.page.nextCursor as cursor with the same query and type for the next page. A mixed search is capped at 1,000 results by Product Hunt. A query with no matches is not_found with an empty list.
Product Hunt Search API FAQ
Can I search only users or only posts?
Send type=user, type=post, type=topic or type=category. Omit type for a mixed search, or use type=product for the products search.
How do I read the next page?
When data.page.hasMore is true, send data.page.nextCursor as the cursor query parameter with the same query and type. A cursor from another query or kind is refused.
Why is totalCount capped?
Product Hunt caps a mixed search at 1,000 results. totalCount is Product Hunt's count for the search and page, so it can be lower on a later page; it is not a promise that every match is reachable.
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.
