Automate Product Hunt

Turn the repetitive Product Hunt work you do by hand (open the leaderboard, read products and upvotes) into a workflow Writ runs for you, on your own account, on a schedule or on demand.

Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.

why

Stop doing Product Hunt by hand

The Product Hunt tasks you repeat (open the leaderboard, read products and upvotes, open a product) are exactly the kind of work a computer should do. But Product Hunt only exposes part of it through an API, and the flow runs behind a login and dynamic pages. Product Hunt's GraphQL API is rate-limited; the daily leaderboard and live upvotes are simpler to read in the browser.

Writ closes that gap. Record the Product Hunt task once (or describe it to an AI session) and Writ runs it for you in a real browser, on your own account. Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.

Product Hunt tasks Writ can run for you

Each of these is a real Product Hunt action, captured into a workflow and run on your own account.

{ }open the leaderboard
{ }read products and upvotes
{ }open a product
{ }export results

Workflows extract structured fields such as product name, upvotes, comment count, maker along the way: typed data you can route anywhere.

Three ways to build your Product Hunt automation

Pick whichever fits the task. All three produce the same workflow Writ can run for you.

Record itDo the Product Hunt task once in a real browser (open the leaderboard, then read products and upvotes) and the recorder captures every step into a reusable workflow.
Describe it to AITell an AI session your goal on Product Hunt in plain language; it drives the live page and builds the workflow for you, no recording needed.
Discover itLet API discovery watch Product Hunt's own network calls as you browse, then turn the underlying requests into a fast, headless workflow.

Built on the same engine as the recorder and workflows, with 30+ step types.

Login, 2FA, and dynamic pages on Product Hunt

The reason Product Hunt is tedious to automate is the same reason most tools can't. Writ handles it.

Product Hunt pages are public; Writ renders them in real Chromium to capture upvotes and rankings that update through the day.

Run the Product Hunt automation on your terms

On a schedule, on demand, or the instant something changes. You choose the trigger.

On a scheduleRun the Product Hunt task every hour, every morning, or any cadence. No one has to remember to do it.
On demandTrigger a single run from the dashboard, a webhook, your code, or an AI agent, whenever you need it.
On a changeWatch Product Hunt for new launch in a topic or upvote threshold and fire the automation the instant it happens.
  1. 1
    Build the Product Hunt workflow once

    Record the task, describe it to AI, or discover it from the network. Writ captures each step, including login and 2FA, into a workflow you can edit.

  2. 2
    Run it on your terms

    Run it on demand, on a schedule, or fire it from a Monitor when Product Hunt changes. It runs on your own Product Hunt account, in a real browser.

  3. 3
    Call it from anything

    The same workflow is a REST endpoint at /v1/producthunt/run and an MCP tool, so your code, a no-code tool, or an AI agent can trigger the Product Hunt automation too.

Trigger the Product Hunt automation on a change

Monitor Product Hunt for new launch in a topic, upvote threshold, rank change and run your workflow the moment it happens.

Monitors check as fast as every 10s (10s on Enterprise). A detected change becomes a trigger that runs your Product Hunt automation in seconds. Monitor Product Hunt ▸

Local / BYO agent

No compute charge. The agent runs on your hardware, so it can reach Product Hunt even from an intranet or VPN-only network, and your AI keys never leave your machine.

The same Product Hunt automation is an API and an MCP tool

Automating Product Hunt for yourself and calling it from software are the same workflow. Once you have it, publish it as a REST endpoint at/v1/producthunt/run and a matching MCP tool, so your code or an AI agent can trigger the Product Hunt task too.

Automating Product Hunt: questions

How do I automate Product Hunt?
Record the Product Hunt task once in the recorder (open the leaderboard, read products and upvotes, open a product) or describe your goal to an AI session. Writ turns it into a workflow it can run for you on a schedule or on demand, on your own Product Hunt account. It usually takes minutes, not a backend project.
Is it allowed to automate Product Hunt this way?
Collect Product Hunt data you have the right to access and respect its Terms of Use and rate limits. Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.
Does Product Hunt automation work behind login and 2FA?
Product Hunt pages are public; Writ renders them in real Chromium to capture upvotes and rankings that update through the day. Writ handles TOTP and mailbox-OTP two-factor through Personas, so the automation runs inside your own authenticated Product Hunt session.
Can I run the Product Hunt automation without writing code?
Yes. Recording and AI sessions need no code at all. If you do want to trigger it from software, the same workflow is a REST endpoint and an MCP tool, but that is optional.
Where does it run, and what does it cost?
Run it on your own machine with a local or BYO agent for no compute charge, useful when Product Hunt is only reachable from your network or VPN. Or run it on metered cloud at $0.12 per browser-hour, drawn from your plan’s included usage. Start free.
