Aha!

Aha!

Aha! is product roadmap and strategy software. Products contain features and goals; ideas come from stakeholders; users are team members.

Data Model

• Products are product lines. Features and goals belong to products.
• Features are product capabilities scoped to releases. Goals are strategic objectives.
• Ideas are stakeholder suggestions. Categories, comments, and endorsements are idea-scoped — need idea id.
• Users are team members.
• API responses: List endpoints return stream-style responses (array wrappers). Extract ids from response structure.

Recommended read order

1. List products to choose the product workspace.
2. Read features, goals, and ideas for that product (pass product_id to scope lists).
3. For one idea, read categories (product-scoped), comments, and endorsements (idea-scoped).

Writes

Create ideas under a product, features under a release, and goals under a product. Updates target the record id directly. Deletes are permanent.

Gotchas

• Domain required: API URL is https://{domain}.aha.io. Domain is the subdomain from your Aha URL (e.g. yourcompany.aha.io → domain=yourcompany).
• Feature create needs release_id: Features belong to releases — pick a release before creating.
• Idea-scoped operations: Categories need product_id; comments and endorsements need idea_id.
• Response structure: Ideas live in data.ideas; other entities in similar nested structures.
• Pagination: Integer page (1-indexed) and per_page (default 5). Read pagination.total_pages before sweeping large lists.
• Read-after-write lag: Aha routes writes to primary and reads to replicas — a record created moments ago may 404 on immediate fetch; retry briefly if needed.
