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 })

Development

npm install
npm run ci

npm run ci runs:

• TypeScript typecheck
• Node tests
• npm pack --dry-run

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.

For vulnerability reporting, see SECURITY.md.
