Get recent Product Hunt launches with rank, upvotes, comments, topics and maker, for today or a window of up to 30 days set in days. Rank and votes describe that snapshot rather than sales, and the result is not a full launch archive.

Price $1.39 per 1,000 requests ($0.001389 per call). Failed calls and empty results are not charged. Synchronous. For slow jobs add "mode": "async" to the body, take the job_id and poll.

AI prompt

Paste this into your AI assistant. It already holds this endpoint's parameters, response fields and an example request, so the assistant can ask what you need and then write the scraper.

Please help me write a data collection script with the EveryInfra Product Hunt Trending endpoint (producthunt/trending).

Endpoint contract:
- Request: POST https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social with the header Authorization: Bearer <API key>. Read the key from the EVERYINFRA_API_KEY environment variable and never hard-code it.
- In the request body, set platform to producthunt and action to trending, and put the parameters inside params.
- No required parameters.
- Optional parameters:
  - days: Specifies the lookback window in days for the trending action. Defaults to 1 (today) and accepts values from 1 to 30. It should not be treated as a complete historical archive export.
  - limit: The most rows to return in this call, an integer from 1 to 40. The default applies when you leave it out, and a call can return fewer rows. Larger values return 422 before any charge. (default: 20)
- Returns a list of records. Main fields of each record: name, tagline, description, url, rank, vote_count, comment_count, topics, maker, image_url, posted_at.
- Example request body:
{
  "platform": "producthunt",
  "action": "trending",
  "params": {}
}
- Price: $1.39 per 1,000 requests; failed and empty results are not charged.
- For dozens or hundreds of targets, add "mode": "async" to the body: you get a job_id at once and poll GET https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/jobs/{job_id} for the result.
- On 422, fix the request using the suggested parameter names and allowed values in the error; on 429 or 503, wait for Retry-After and try again.

Before writing code, ask me which targets I need, how many, which fields, and what output format I want; then confirm the plan and the rough cost with me.

Response example

Real response

Captured September 26, 2026 at 08:56 (UTC) by calling this API with the parameters in the code sample above. results and count are that call's real response with personal information (names, handles, avatars, profile links, contact details) removed; the list keeps the first 2. id, billing and quota differ on every call, so only their shape is shown.

Response fields

Business data is in results. The table lists the fields a record can contain; values the platform does not show are never made up.

FieldMeaning
nameName of the object itself, for account, product and business capabilities.
taglineKeeps the platform's own meaning
descriptionSummary or description, usually shorter than text.
urlLink to the record on the platform.
rankKeeps the platform's own meaning
vote_countKeeps the platform's own meaning
comment_countComments. null means not disclosed, not 0.
topicsKeeps the platform's own meaning
makerKeeps the platform's own meaning
image_urlImage link. Capabilities with several images may return an image_urls array.
posted_atPublish time in ISO 8601, UTC (for example 2026-08-07T12:34:56+00:00). Non-standard strings from the platform are passed through as is, so parse defensively. null means the platform does not disclose it.
platformSource platform identifier, the same as platform in the request (for example xiaohongshu, tiktok).

Errors and billing

401
Missing or invalid key. Authentication runs before parameter checks, so unauthenticated requests never see the parameter schema.
422
Wrong parameter name or value. The error lists the parameters and allowed values this capability accepts and the closest match; it happens before any charge.
402
Insufficient balance. Top up first.
429
The account's per-minute request limit was reached (all of its API keys count together; a key's own lower limit applies first). Wait for Retry-After and try again; a rate package in the console raises the limit.
503
Could not complete right now. Any charge for the call goes back to your balance automatically, and the billing receipt in the response states the actual outcome, including when it is not yet known. Do not resend blindly.
200 empty
The request completed without data and is not charged (billing.reason = empty_result_refunded).

  • Product Hunt: Upvotes Do Not Map One-to-One to Leaderboard Points ↗

    Product Hunt documentation explains that homepage feeds update by points, where a single upvote does not necessarily equal one point and ranking factors in undisclosed criteria. This endpoint captures leaderboard snapshots; it does not re-derive official rankings from vote_count, nor does it guarantee full historical coverage.
