FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I get started?

Subscribe, enter your API credentials (your Developer Token from the Product Hunt API Dashboard), and you're ready. No code, no setup, no webhooks — just connect and start exploring daily startup launches through your AI agent.

Can my AI agent create a summary brief of the top 3 startups launched today?

Yes. Ask your agent to fetch the daily leaderboard and pull the details of the top 3 items. It will return the product names, descriptions, upvote counts, maker names, and direct URLs — generating a complete morning brief on the tech ecosystem without opening a single browser tab.

What happens when I need to find the best AI tools launched recently?

Just tell your AI agent. It uses the search tool to query "AI" directly against the Product Hunt database, surfacing highly-rated matches with their taglines and upvotes instantly. You skip the doom-scrolling and go straight to evaluating the exact tools you are looking for.

Absolutely. Because your agent can pull deeply nested product details (including maker names, review scores, and direct website links) for any product ID, you get a comprehensive pulse on fresh competitors or investment opportunities immediately. Perfect for scouting teams building automated deal-flow monitors.
