Search filters

  • type - which feed to read, for example posts
  • searchQuery - free text across post titles
  • minUpvotes - keep only posts above a popularity threshold
  • maxItems - how many posts to save

Example input

{
"type": "posts",
"searchQuery": "pricing",
"minUpvotes": 20,
"maxItems": 100
}

Use cases

  • Founder and market research - see which problems bootstrapped founders raise most often
  • Content curation - build a newsletter or digest from the highest-signal discussions
  • Product discovery - find recurring complaints about tools in your category
  • Community trend analysis - track how topics such as pricing, churn or AI move through the community over time
  • Audience research - study the language indie founders use before writing marketing copy for them
  • Competitive listening - catch mentions of a product or category in founder discussions

Why Indie Hackers

Indie Hackers is one of the few places where small software businesses discuss revenue, pricing and churn openly rather than through a PR filter. For anyone selling to or building alongside bootstrapped founders, it is a more candid signal than press coverage or funding news.

Notes

  • This actor exports community posts and their engagement metrics. Product revenue pages and founder interview transcripts are a different part of the site and are not included; revenue figures appear only when a poster wrote them into a title or body.
  • upvotes and commentsCount are snapshots at scraping time, so repeated runs let you watch a post gain traction.
  • Tags are author-chosen and therefore inconsistent; treat them as hints, not a taxonomy.
