Hackathon Finder: Devpost, Devfolio, Unstop & MLH

Find every open and upcoming hackathon in one run. Hackathon Finder pulls listings from Devpost, Devfolio, Unstop and MLH, merges them into one clean schema, removes duplicates, and sorts by the closest deadline.

Why use it

• Four platforms, one feed. Stop checking four sites. Global (Devpost, MLH) and India-first (Devfolio, Unstop) coverage.
• Same fields everywhere: title, organizer, link, online or in-person, city, country, start, end, registration deadline, days left, prizes, cash amount, registrations, themes, team size, eligibility.
• Filters that matter: online only, a country or city, a keyword (AI, Web3, fintech), deadline within N days, minimum cash prize.
• Fast and cheap. Uses the platforms' public listing data, no login, no browser.

Who it's for

• Students and devs hunting prize money
• Communities, colleges and newsletters that post weekly hackathon roundups
• Recruiters and DevRel teams tracking where developers are building
• Telegram, Discord or Slack bots (schedule it daily and push new rows)

Notes

Data comes from each platform's public listings. Fields a platform does not publish are left empty (for example, Devpost doesn't list team size and MLH doesn't list prizes).
