How do I get more detail on a result?

Pass the slug from the result (the alias field) to the Product Hunt product source for the full profile.

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 Search API and MCP — Find Products by Keyword

Send a keyword and get the matching Product Hunt products back as a list: name, tagline, rating, review count, logo and a link to each product page. Set max_items to cap how many come back (up to 250) and start_page to begin further into the results.

Run it in the app Read the API docs

You send: a keyword, and how many results to return
You get back: one entry per matching product: name, tagline, rating, review count, logo and link
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	Type the query into Product Hunt and read the results	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-search \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"keyword":"crm","max_items":2}'

Use cases

What teams use it for

Where this field shows up in an actual workflow.

Market mapping

List the products that match a category keyword and see how they are rated and reviewed.

Competitor discovery

Search the words your product is described by and find who else the platform lists.

Prospect lists

Collect product names and links by theme, then enrich each with the product lookup.

Slug resolution

Turn a product name into the slug the other Product Hunt sources expect.

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

—The sample returned no total match count (total_found is null), so plan on max_items rather than a known total.
—Category lists on search cards can be empty; the product lookup returns the full category list.
—Results depend on how the platform's own search ranks a keyword; the list is not filtered further.

FAQ
