# Update Product Hunt profile (headline, about, links)

Automatically update Product Hunt profile (headline, about, links) on producthunt.com. Fill in the signed-in account's Product Hunt profile: the headline (short tagline under your name), the About text, and the additional links shown on the profile (LinkedIn, GitHub, X, a personal site...). Only the fields you pass are changed. Links are added next to the ones already on the profile; a link whose URL is already there is left as it is and listed in links_already_present. Returns the profile as Product Hunt holds it after saving, read back from the site. A signed-out browser fails with a signed-out error.
