Commands

| Command | Purpose | Key options | |---------|---------|-------------| | posts list | Today's launches from the homepage | | | posts leaderboard | Daily/weekly/monthly leaderboard | --period daily\|weekly\|monthly, --date YYYY-MM-DD | | posts get SLUG | Product detail by slug | | | users get USERNAME | User profile | |

Examples

# Today's top products (returns name, tagline, slug, votes_count, comments_count, rank)
cli-web-producthunt posts list --json

# Last week's leaderboard
cli-web-producthunt posts leaderboard --period weekly --json

# Leaderboard for a specific date
cli-web-producthunt posts leaderboard --date 2026-03-15 --json

# Product detail (slug comes from list/leaderboard results)
cli-web-producthunt posts get stitch-2-0-by-google-2 --json

# User profile (name, headline, followers_count)
cli-web-producthunt users get rrhoover --json

JSON output

Every command accepts --json. Success returns the data directly (a list of posts, or a post/user object); errors return {"error": true, "code": "...", "message": "..."}.

Utilities

cli-web-producthunt doctor [--json] self-diagnoses the local setup (install, auth, dependencies). cli-web-producthunt mcp-serve serves the commands as MCP tools over stdio.

Agent tips

• Prefer posts list / posts leaderboard data over posts get: the detail page's HTML differs, so its votes_count/comments_count can be 0 and name may include the tagline.
• description is only populated by posts get; rank is null in leaderboard output (use array order).
• Running with no subcommand opens an interactive REPL.
