Indie Hackers API

The Indie Hackers API provides programmatic access to the Indie Hackers community platform, enabling developers to connect with a network of founders who openly share the strategies and revenue numbers behind their companies and side projects. Authentication is handled via API key, and the API exposes community data including posts, products, interviews, and founder profiles for builders working toward profitable, independent online businesses.
