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.

Product Hunt User Upvotes API and MCP — Launches a User Upvoted

Send a username or profile link and get the launches that user upvoted, newest first: launch name, tagline, votes, comments, daily, weekly and monthly rank, and dates. The platform serves at most the latest 200 upvotes of a user, so that is the ceiling for this source however high max_items is.

Run it in the app Read the API docs

You send: a Product Hunt username or profile link, and how many results to return
You get back: launches the user upvoted, newest first, with votes, comments, ranks 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-users-upvotes \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"user":"kevin","max_items":2}'

Coverage

Product Hunt records with a public page.

Freshness

Handling

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

What it will not do

—Upvotes are personal activity. Use them as a signal about products, not to profile the individual.
—Only the latest 200 upvotes per user are available from the platform.
—The sample returned no total (total_found is null).

FAQ

Questions, answered

The platform serves only the latest 200 upvotes of a user, so older upvotes cannot be returned.
