# Product Hunt Integration via LowCodeAPI

**Last Updated**: January 27, 2025

## Overview
Product Hunt is a platform for sharing and discovering new products. The API allows you to query posts, collections, topics, users, and more.

**Categories:**
- {'id': 'social-media', 'name': 'Social Media', 'description': 'Social media platforms and content sharing APIs', 'priority': 7}

## Base Endpoint
https://api.lowcodeapi.com/producthunt

**Important**: Always include the provider name in the URL path after `api.lowcodeapi.com/`

## Authentication
**Type:** OAUTH2.0

**Official Documentation:** https://api.producthunt.com/v2/docs

## URL Format (Important)

LowCodeAPI supports two URL formats. **Always try the New Format first**, then fall back to Old Format if needed.

### New Format (Priority)
- Path parameters stay in the URL path
- Do NOT include path parameters as query parameters
- Example: `https://api.lowcodeapi.com/{provider}/resource/{id}?api_token=XXX`

### Old Format (Fallback)
- Path parameters become query parameters
- Example: `https://api.lowcodeapi.com/{provider}/resource/id?id={id}&api_token=XXX`

### Decision Flow for AI Agents
1. Always use **New Format** first - keep path parameters in the URL path
2. If you get a 404 or error, try **Old Format** with sanitized path
3. Log which format worked for future requests to this provider
