searchQuery | string | Full-text search across titles and descriptions. |

Common use cases
Find all open AI hackathons with prize pools
Set status: open, searchQuery: AI, orderBy: prize-amount.
VC scout pipeline — upcoming events where founders form teams
Set status: upcoming, orderBy: deadline to surface imminent registration windows.
Sponsor research — identify which organizations run the most hackathons
Pull all records and aggregate by host_organization.
Pre-seed founder sourcing Combine with the F6S and Product Hunt actors to track the same founders across application, hackathon participation, and launch stages.
Notes
The is_ai_track flag checks theme IDs and names — it catches Machine Learning/AI, Generative AI, LLM, Deep Learning, and similar labels without requiring exact-match input. Prize amounts are parsed from Devpost's HTML-wrapped strings; records with non-standard formatting get prize_amount_usd: null with the raw string preserved in prize_amount_raw.
Devpost caps API responses at 40 per page. A full catalog pull of 13,000+ hackathons takes several minutes at the polite 150ms inter-page delay.
