About this endpoint

GET /v1/product-hunt/users/{username} returns data.user with id, username, name, headline, about, createdAt, avatarUrl, followersCount, followingsCount, votesCount, twitterUrl, linkedInUrl, isAccountVerified and canCrawl. The username is accepted with or without a leading @.

The profile also carries madePosts, submittedPosts and votedPosts. Each is an object with totalCount, posts, hasMore and nextCursor; posts holds the first 20 references as { id, slug, name }. To continue one list, call GET /v1/product-hunt/users/{username}/posts?kind=made|submitted|voted with that list's nextCursor. Product Hunt pages these lists by position over an order with ties, so a post can appear on two pages and another can be skipped; de-duplicate by id. canCrawl says whether the profile allows indexing; it does not affect what this endpoint returns.

Product Hunt User API FAQ

Can I page a user's made, submitted or voted posts?

Yes. Each list returns the first 20 post references plus totalCount, hasMore and nextCursor. Continue with GET /v1/product-hunt/users/{username}/posts?kind=<list>&cursor=<nextCursor>.

What does canCrawl mean?

It says whether the profile allows indexing. It is returned as data and does not affect what this endpoint returns.

Do I include the @ sign in the username?

Either form is accepted. The route trims whitespace and removes a leading @, so rrhoover and @rrhoover name the same user.

How do I get the full post for one of these references?

Use the reference's slug on GET /v1/product-hunt/posts/{slug}. The reference only carries id, slug and name.

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.
