Upvote a Product Hunt launch
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 holds an upvote on this launch after the run. True on success.
launchUrl requiredaccount_used requiredHandle of the account that voted, read from the signed-in session rather than assumed.
already_present requiredTrue when this account had already upvoted the launch, so nothing was pressed.
verified_on_page requiredTrue when Product Hunt's own response for the vote confirmed the launch is now upvoted.
postId optionalProduct Hunt's numeric id for the launch that was voted on.
scoreAfter optionalScore Product Hunt reported with the vote. Other people vote continuously, so this is their number at that instant, not necessarily scoreBefore + 1.
scoreBefore optionalScore shown on the control before voting. 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.
Remove a Product Hunt launch upvote
Withdraw the signed-in account's upvote from a Product Hunt launch. This is the inverse of upvoting one, and it is written the same careful way: because Product Hunt's vote control is a toggle, the script first checks whether an upvote actually exists and does nothing if it does not, instead of pressing the control and accidentally adding one. The result reports the account used, whether there was no vote to remove, the 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.
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.
