Post a comment on a Product Hunt launch

Automatically post a comment on a Product Hunt launch on producthunt.com. Post a comment on a Product Hunt launch as the signed-in account, or reply to an existing comment by passing its id. Accepts a full launch URL or a "product/launch" slug pair. Returns the new comment in the same shape as get_launch_comments (id, author, text as posted, depth) plus its link and the account used. If this account already left the same text in the same place, nothing is posted and that comment comes back with already_present true. Product Hunt offers to follow the launch's makers when you comment; that is off unless follow_makers is true. A signed-out browser fails with a signed-out error. Undo with delete_launch_comment.

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.

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.
