Producthunt
A straightforward wrapper around Product Hunt's GraphQL API that lets you pull posts, topics, users, and collections without writing queries yourself. You'll need a developer token from their OAuth applications page, but once that's in your .zshrc, you can search for AI product launches, grab comment threads, or pull someone's entire posting history with simple Python commands. The rate limits are generous at 6250 complexity points per 15 minutes, which is plenty for research and monitoring. Honestly, this is most useful if you're already doing Product Hunt research regularly and want to stop clicking through their web UI. The scripts are basic but they cover the common cases you'd actually need.
