Context

What this means for Product Hunt

Product Hunt has exposed RSS for its daily launches for most of its history. The main /feed URL returns the currently ranked launches, and topic pages expose their own RSS. Product Hunt also has a GraphQL API for deeper integrations, but RSS is the simplest path for most monitoring use cases.

Feed URL format
https://www.producthunt.com/feed
Working example
https://www.producthunt.com/feed

Supported patterns

  • Main launches feed (/feed)
  • Category-scoped feed via query parameter (/feed?category=[slug])

Limitations

  • Feeds are Atom rather than strict RSS 2.0 (Content-Type: application/atom+xml). Most aggregators including Aggregator accept both interchangeably
  • Feeds reflect the live ranking, not a daily archive: items reorder and drop in/out throughout the day
  • Product Hunt ranks by time-adjusted upvotes, which skews the feed toward mid-day US launches
  • The GraphQL API is the only way to get precise launch-day slots or voting history

Gotchas

Common mistakes

  • Watch for this: Using the path-form /topics/[slug]/feed, which 404s. The working form is /feed?category=[slug]
  • Watch for this: Using old /launches.rss or /day.rss paths that no longer exist
  • Watch for this: Expecting review or comment data, the feed is launch-only

FAQ

Product Hunt RSS questions

Does Product Hunt have an RSS feed?

Yes. The main Atom feed is at https://www.producthunt.com/feed. Category-scoped feeds are available via the query-parameter form: https://www.producthunt.com/feed?category=[slug].

How do I get an RSS feed for a Product Hunt category?

Use the query-parameter form: https://www.producthunt.com/feed?category=[slug] (for example, /feed?category=ai). The old path form /topics/[slug]/feed no longer works.

Is the Product Hunt feed RSS or Atom?

Atom. The Content-Type header is application/atom+xml. Aggregator and most other readers treat Atom and RSS interchangeably, so you can use the URL as-is in any "add an RSS feed" workflow.

Does the Product Hunt feed include upvote counts?

Upvote counts appear in the item descriptions but are not a structured feed field. For structured data, use the GraphQL API.

How fresh is the Product Hunt feed?

It updates throughout the day as rankings change. A launch that appears in the morning may drop out of the feed by evening if its rank falls.

Can Product Hunt feeds be imported into WordPress?

Yes. Use the main or category-scoped feed URL as a source in Aggregator. Category-scoped feeds are cleaner than the main feed for category-specific editorial use.
