Import testimonials from Product Hunt

Updated

Short answer

VideoTestimonials imports comments from a Product Hunt launch, not star-rated reviews. In Dashboard → Import → Reviews & Other, click ProductHunt, paste a producthunt.com/posts/ or /products/ URL and click Import testimonials. It reads the first 20 comments through Product Hunt's public GraphQL endpoint, with each commenter's name, avatar and date. If Product Hunt doesn't return them, the import stops with an error.

If you launched on Product Hunt, every comment is a potential testimonial. Import the first 20 in one go.

How to import Product Hunt reviews

  1. Go to Dashboard → Import → Reviews & Other.
  2. Click the ProductHunt tile and paste your Product Hunt product URL, for example https://www.producthunt.com/products/your-product/reviews.
  3. Click Import testimonials, then tick the comments you want and click Import.

We fetch the first 20 public comments on the launch in one pass.

Supported URL formats

  • Product page: https://www.producthunt.com/products/<slug>
  • Reviews page: https://www.producthunt.com/products/<slug>/reviews
  • Launch page: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/<slug>

What gets imported

  • Comment text
  • Commenter name and avatar
  • Comment date

Product Hunt comments have no star ratings, so imported testimonials have none.

When Product Hunt doesn't return comments

We fetch comments from Product Hunt's public frontend GraphQL endpoint, which doesn't need a token. If that request returns nothing, the import stops with the error PRODUCTHUNT_TOKEN_REQUIRED. The Import page has no field for a developer token, so try again later or add standout comments with Dashboard → Import → Manual.

Note: if Product Hunt hides a commenter's name ([REDACTED]), the testimonial uses their @username, or "ProductHunt User" when that's hidden too.
