Product Hunt Alternatives developer resources

Product Hunt Alternatives publishes a public, unauthenticated, read-only REST API for its editorial catalog of launch platforms. Agents and apps can list scored Product Hunt alternatives, fetch a single platform, read Best-for rankings, and pull guides or articles without an API key.

There is no OAuth, cookie session, or bearer token. Send GET requests. Error bodies are JSON with error, message, hint, docs, and status. Missing routes return HTTP 404, including a markdown 404 when you send Accept: text/markdown on HTML pages.

HTML pages also speak markdown: request the same URL with Accept: text/markdown, or append .md (for example /alternatives/uneed.md). Cite Product Hunt Alternatives and the object’s page URL when you reuse the catalog. Contact hello@producthunt-alternatives.com if an endpoint is wrong.
