Can I get the product's profile with the same call?

No. Use the Product Hunt product source for the profile and this one for the launch list.

Do I pay for lookups that come back empty?

No. You are charged per result, so a request that finds nothing costs nothing. Testing this against a messy list is free to get wrong.

What does a request cost?

1 point per returned record, which is $1 per 1,000, and only records that come back are charged. Points come out of your monthly plan allowance.

Startup & Funding Data

Product Hunt Product Launches API and MCP — Votes, Comments, Ranks and Dates

Send a product slug or link and get its launches as a list: name, tagline, votes, comments, daily, weekly and monthly rank, and the launch date. All pages are read, up to the max_items you set (up to 250).

Run it in the app Read the API docs

You send: a Product Hunt product slug or link, and how many results to return
You get back: each launch of the product with votes, comments, daily, weekly and monthly rank and dates
Coverage: Product Hunt records with a public page.
Price: 1 point per returned record — $1 per 1,000; Billed per record actually returned, capped by max_items. A request that returns nothing costs nothing.

Comparison

Ways to get this data

Three approaches teams use today, and where each one runs into trouble.

Approach	What it takes	Cost	Trade-off
Product Hunt directly	Open the page on Product Hunt and scroll through the list	Free, and slow	Fine for one record, useless across a list, and the layout differs on every platform
Building a scraper	Write it, host it, and repair it when Product Hunt changes its pages	Engineering time	A maintenance commitment for something that isn't your product
NeuralVerge	One request, the same shape as every other source in the catalog	$1 per 1,000, misses not billed	Returns what Product Hunt publishes at request time. Other platforms are separate sources with the same request format

Integration

How to run it

The same lookup works from the app, the API, or as a tool an agent can call mid-task.

Results come back in the same envelope as every other source: a session id, a readable summary, the structured result and the points charged. max_items caps how many records are returned and billed.

curl -X POST https://api.neuralverge.ai/functions/v1/run-producthunt-products-launches \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"product":"doplac-crm","max_items":2}'

Use cases

What teams use it for

Where this field shows up in an actual workflow.

Launch benchmarking

Compare votes, comments and ranks across a product's launches, or against competitors' launches.

Traction checks

Read how a product's launches performed before you take a call with its team.

Relaunch tracking

See when and how often a product has launched again.

Timeline building

Place launch dates on a company timeline next to funding and hiring events.

Coverage & limits

Coverage, freshness and limits

What this source covers, how fresh it is, and where it stops.

Coverage

Product Hunt records with a public page.

Freshness

Read at request time, so the answer reflects the platform as it stands when you ask.

Handling

This source returns information Product Hunt shows publicly. Every response carries the session id you can trace.

What it will not do

—Ranks and counts are as the platform shows them at request time and can change after a launch.
—The topics list was empty in the sample.
—The sample returned no total (total_found is null), so the number of launches is what max_items allows or the platform lists.
