Remove a Product Hunt launch upvote
Input
launch requiredFull launch URL (e.g. "https://www.producthunt.com/products/notion/launches/notion-mail") or a "product/launch" slug pair (e.g. "notion/notion-mail").
Output
hasVoted requiredWhether the account still holds an upvote after the run. False on success.
launchUrl requiredaccount_used requiredHandle of the account whose vote was withdrawn, read from the signed-in session rather than assumed.
already_absent requiredTrue when this account held no upvote on the launch, so nothing was pressed.
verified_on_page requiredTrue when Product Hunt's own response confirmed the launch is no longer upvoted.
postId optionalProduct Hunt's numeric id for the launch.
scoreAfter optionalScore Product Hunt reported with the change. Other people vote continuously, so this is their number at that instant, not necessarily scoreBefore - 1.
scoreBefore optionalScore shown on the control before the change. Read from the rendered figure, so it can lag other people's votes by moments.
Get Product Hunt product
Read a Product Hunt product page and return its profile: name, tagline, full description, the outbound website link, the categories it is listed under, its review rating and review count, how many times it has launched, its makers with their Product Hunt profiles, and any Top Product or Golden Kitty awards. Accepts either the product slug or a full Product Hunt product URL. Follower counts are returned exactly as the page displays them (Product Hunt rounds them, e.g. "18K") alongside a numeric approximation. An unknown product is reported as such rather than returned as an empty record.
Upvote a Product Hunt launch
Upvote a launch on Product Hunt as the signed-in account. Product Hunt's vote control is a toggle, so this script checks whether the account has already upvoted the launch and leaves it alone if so, rather than pressing the control and silently removing an existing vote. The result reports the account that voted, whether the vote was already there, the launch's score afterwards, and confirmation read back from Product Hunt's own response rather than from the button. Accepts a full launch URL or a "product/launch" slug pair. Pair it with the remove-upvote script to undo. Note that Product Hunt votes on a launch, not on a product as a whole: a product with several launches is upvoted one launch at a time.
Get Product Hunt launch comments
Read the comment thread on a Product Hunt launch. Returns each comment with its author (name, handle, profile id and the product they are credited to), the text, its upvote count, when it was posted, whether it is pinned, and how deeply it is nested so replies stay attached to what they answer. Accepts a full launch URL or a "product/launch" slug pair. Product Hunt's headline comment tally on a launch counts more items than the thread actually renders, so both numbers are returned side by side rather than presenting the visible ones as the complete set. An unknown launch is reported as such.
