Ryan said that while he was also concerned that the open API would cause data abuse and that there was no way to bring user traffic back to product hunt for release and Upvote, he eventually decided to open the API to encourage more innovation based on product hunt, It also brings more opportunities to product hunt and start-up companies.
After the API has been progressively opened, the biosphere around product hunt has matured (in addition, Product Hunt has recently been preparing for hackathon), and it may soon be that product hunt will pop up in front of the public.
