What this dataset contains

Product entities in the Harpd dataset: name, slug, category, capabilities, verification state, profile URL.

Scope. Every approved product entity in the Harpd dataset. The current release holds 1,122 products and was last updated September 15, 2026.

Harpd is an independent product discovery and ranking intelligence platform. Rank Points, where this dataset carries them, are promotional placement bought with Credits — they are not an editorial quality score, rating or review.

Fields

Every field the endpoint publishes. The list is generated from the dataset’s own schema, so a field cannot ship undocumented.

Field	Description
`id`	Stable record identifier. Equal to the slug.
`name`	Product display name.
`slug`	Stable URL slug used in profile URLs.
`url`	Canonical Harpd product profile URL.
`category`	Harpd Rank category slug.
`categoryName`	Display name of the category.
`rank`	Current position on the overall board.
`rankPoints`	Current Harpd Rank Points (1 completed Credit = 1 permanent Rank Point).
`verified`	True when Harpd has verified the product listing.
`updatedAt`	Last public update timestamp for the record.
`website`	The maker's own public website.
`description`	The maker-provided public product description.
`productType`	Public product type label, when provided.

Sample record

The first record currently returned by /data/products.json. Shown so the row shape is verifiable without fetching the endpoint; the live files move, so treat this as a shape sample rather than a snapshot.

How it is generated

One record per approved product on the Harpd Rank board, mapped through an explicit field whitelist: id, name, slug, url, category, rank position, Rank Points, verification state and per-record updatedAt. Rank Points are awarded from promotional placement purchased with Credits, never from editorial judgment.

Update frequency

Continuous — mirrors approved listings.

Each record carries its own date where the dataset provides one, so any value can be re-checked against the endpoint after the fact. The dataset’s lastUpdated field moves only when a record actually changes — never on a rebuild alone.

Access the data

/data/products.jsonJSON

The dataset itself: envelope plus records, stable field names.

/data/schema.jsonJSON

Field dictionary for every public endpoint, plus what is deliberately excluded.

No API key is required for any public dataset. Rate limits, caching and versioning for the documented endpoints are described in the API reference.

Methodology

How these numbers are produced is documented in full at harpd.com/rank/methodology/. A number in this dataset is citable only because that methodology exists and is public.

Licence

This dataset is released under CC BY 4.0. Attribution is required and no endorsement is implied. Reuse, redistribution and commercial use are permitted with attribution to Harpd.

Why it matters

Publishing this dataset as an open, machine-readable file lets researchers, developers and AI systems build on Harpd data without scraping the live site. Every record carries a data date and the whole dataset carries a CC BY 4.0 licence, so a number quoted from it is directly citable and reproducible.

Limitations

Rank Points are promotional placement purchased via Credits — NOT an editorial quality score. They reflect what a product paid to appear higher, not how good it is.
Harpd does not publish first-party traffic or revenue figures for third-party products. Any such number comes from the product or a third party and is not in this dataset.
The live board changes continuously; a snapshot reflects the time it was fetched. For history, use the immutable monthly snapshots in /data/rank-history.json.
