For Agents
Programmatically execute graphql query or mutation, obtain an oauth access token. Covers 4 operations with bearer authentication.
Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Product Hunt API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.
Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.
Step 1: Jentic One Host machine
# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | shStep 2: Agent machine
# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh
jentic register # connects your agent to your Jentic One instanceJentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.
What an agent can do with Product Hunt API.
Execute GraphQL query or mutation
Obtain an OAuth access token
Authorize a user via OAuth
Test an access token
GET STARTED
Use for: I need to execute graphql query or mutation, I want to obtain an oauth access token, Search for authorize a user via oauth, Find all test an access token
Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or crm — use for identity and authentication only.
The best new products in tech. Product Hunt API v2 is GraphQL-based, providing a single POST endpoint for all queries and mutations. Authenticate via OAuth 2.0 or a developer token. The API exposes 4 endpoints secured with bearer authentication.
Patterns agents use Product Hunt API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Identity and Authentication Operations
Use the Product Hunt API to perform identity auth operations programmatically. The API provides 4 endpoints covering core functionality including execute graphql query or mutation, obtain an oauth access token, authorize a user via oauth.
Call POST /api/graphql to execute graphql query or mutation
Automated Authentication Management
Automate authentication operations by combining multiple Product Hunt API endpoints. Agents can obtain an oauth access token and then authorize a user via oauth in a single workflow.
Call POST /oauth/token to obtain an oauth access token, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call Product Hunt API endpoints through Jentic without managing credentials directly. An agent searches for the required operation by intent, receives the matching endpoint schema, and executes the call with Jentic-managed authentication. This eliminates the need to read API documentation or handle bearer tokens manually.
Search Jentic for 'execute graphql query or mutation', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.
Credential isolation
Product Hunt API bearer credentials are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault (MAXsystem). Agents receive scoped access tokens — raw secrets never enter the agent context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search by intent (e.g., 'execute graphql query or mutation') and Jentic returns the matching Product Hunt API operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.
Time to first call
Direct Product Hunt API integration: 1-3 days for auth handling, response parsing, and error cases. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.

Specific to using Product Hunt API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Product Hunt API use?
The Product Hunt API uses a Bearer token in the Authorization header. Through Jentic, these credentials are stored encrypted in the MAXsystem vault and injected at execution time, so raw secrets never enter the agent context.
Can I execute graphql query or mutation with the Product Hunt API?
Yes. Use the POST /api/graphql endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the Product Hunt API?
Rate limits are not specified in the OpenAPI spec. Check the vendor documentation for current limits. Through Jentic, rate limiting is handled automatically with retry logic built into the execution layer.
How do I execute graphql query or mutation through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up, then search for 'execute graphql query or mutation'. Jentic returns the matching Product Hunt API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call — credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the Product Hunt API have?
The Product Hunt API exposes 4 endpoints covering authentication, graphql operations.
