README

Pi Product Hunt

Product Hunt research and digest workflows inside Pi.

Pi Product Hunt is a read-only Pi extension package for Product Hunt market research. It calls the Product Hunt GraphQL API directly, adds interactive /producthunt:* commands for humans, and exposes structured tools for agents to gather launches, post details, comments, and digest-ready research notes.

Features

Daily Product Hunt launch scans.
Product/post search for competitor and trend research.
Post detail and comment collection for user-reaction analysis.
Digest-ready Markdown with sections for signals, reactions, and watchlists.
Persistent login that stores your Product Hunt token in the Pi agent directory.
Agent tools with typed parameters for autonomous Product Hunt research.

Install

pi install npm:pi-producthunt

Or install from GitHub:

pi install git:github.com/eiei114/pi-producthunt

Try without installing permanently:

pi -e npm:pi-producthunt

For local development from a checkout:

pi -e .

Authentication

Use the interactive login command:

/producthunt:login

This stores your token in:

~/.pi/agent/pi-producthunt-auth.json

You can remove the stored token with:

/producthunt:logout

You can also provide a token through the environment. Environment auth takes priority over the stored login token:

export PRODUCTHUNT_ACCESS_TOKEN=...

Commands

Commands are human-facing and require no fixed inline arguments. If input is needed, Pi asks interactively.

/producthunt:status
/producthunt:login
/producthunt:logout
/producthunt:today
/producthunt:search
/producthunt:post
/producthunt:comments
/producthunt:digest
/producthunt:research

Example flows:

/producthunt:today      # today's launch list
/producthunt:search     # asks for a search query
/producthunt:post       # asks for slug, ID, or URL
/producthunt:comments   # asks for slug, ID, or URL
/producthunt:digest     # asks for today / yesterday / custom date
/producthunt:research   # asks for a research topic

Agent tools

Agents can call these typed tools directly:

producthunt_status
producthunt_get_posts
producthunt_search_posts
producthunt_get_post
producthunt_get_post_comments
producthunt_research_topic
producthunt_digest

Examples:

producthunt_search_posts({ query: "AI coding agent", limit: 10 })
producthunt_get_post({ ref: "example-product-slug" })
producthunt_get_post_comments({ ref: "example-product-slug", limit: 10 })
producthunt_digest({ date: "2026-06-01", limit: 10 })

Release

This package supports npm Trusted Publishing, but you can also publish manually when needed:

npm publish --access public --otp <OTP>

Do not store long-lived npm tokens in this repo.

Security

Pi packages execute with your local permissions. Review source before installing third-party packages.

Product Hunt tokens are never committed by this package. /producthunt:login stores the token locally in ~/.pi/agent/pi-producthunt-auth.json; /producthunt:logout deletes that stored file. PRODUCTHUNT_ACCESS_TOKEN is never modified by logout.
