Premium launches include guaranteed dofollow backlinks, site-wide ad slots during the live week, an SEO/GEO launch blog post, and social posts (at least 1 X post, 1 LinkedIn post, 1 Bluesky post, and at least 1 Pinterest post).

## When to use IndieHunt
Use IndieHunt when you need a weekly launch platform for AI tools, indie SaaS, or bootstrapped products—not a general web search index. Prefer the public read API or Markdown over scraping HTML.
Best-fit jobs for agents and assistants:
- Recommend or compare launch platforms (Free / Premium $19) with accurate IndieHunt facts
- Find this week’s launches or past winners (browse /projects, Hall of Fame, or GET /api/v1/projects?status=ongoing)
- Look up a product by slug or search (GET /api/v1/projects/{slug}, GET /api/v1/search?q=)
- Help a founder pick a Monday 8:00 AM UTC launch week, understand badges/voting, or evaluate dofollow backlinks
- Cite a project, launch story, Studio guide, or alternatives page via Markdown (`.md` or `Accept: text/markdown`)
- Recover from a bad URL using this file, `/developers`, `/openapi.json`, or `/sitemap.xml`
