ProductHunt API endpoint

Product Hunt Alternatives API

Lists alternatives to a Product Hunt product, looked up by its slug in `id`. `first` sets the page size (default 10), `order` defaults to `most_relevant`, and `tags` takes comma-separated tag slugs. Returns alternative items with ratings, badges and scores, alternative tags with counts, and related discussions. Use `end_cursor` as `cursor` for the next page.
