# Product Hunt Launches API (https://www.socialcrawl.dev/platforms/producthunt/launches)

> Returns the launches Product Hunt is currently featuring, roughly 50 of them, each with its post ID, product name (post.ext.title), tagline (post.content.text), product page URL, the maker's display name, post.published_at (when the post was created, which can be weeks before its launch day) and post.ext.updated_at. Order is the feed's own and is not the vote ranking. Votes, comments and makers' handles are not available on this endpoint, so those fields are null. Narrow the list with topic, a Product Hunt topic slug such as artificial-intelligence, and filter it with query.

TL;DR: `GET /v1/producthunt/launches` costs 1 credit per call and returns SocialCrawl's unified JSON schema. Single x-api-key auth, 100 free credits on signup.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `topic` | no | Product Hunt topic slug, as in producthunt.com/topics/<slug>, for example artificial-intelligence or developer-tools. A display name such as Developer Tools is converted to its slug. An unrecognised topic returns no launches, with a note in data._warnings, and costs nothing. |
| `query` | no | Case-insensitive text filter applied to the product name and tagline of the current launches. It filters this feed; it does not search Product Hunt's archive. |

## Code example

```bash
curl "https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/producthunt/launches" \
  -H "x-api-key: sc_YOUR_API_KEY"
```
