Product Hunt API

The Product Hunt API provides programmatic access to Product Hunt's platform data via GraphQL. Developers can query and retrieve information about products, posts, topics, collections, users, votes, and comments. The API supports OAuth 2.0 authentication with three scopes (Public, Private, Write), client-only authentication for public data, and developer tokens for simple scripts. It allows applications to interact with the Product Hunt community, fetch daily product launches, explore trending tech products, and integrate Product Hunt data into third-party applications.
