What can you do with Product Hunt on Tray.ai?
Product Hunt is a community site where makers launch new products and people upvote, comment on, and collect the ones they like. Tray.ai connects to Product Hunt through the HTTP Connector, so your workflows can call the Product Hunt API alongside the rest of your stack. API access comes through Product Hunt's partner program or API plan, so you need approved credentials first.
- Get a post on launch day and share its upvote count with marketing in your team chat.
- List posts in your topic each day and send new launches to the product team.
- Connects through
- HTTP Connector
- Authentication
- OAuth 2.0 or a bearer token
- Base URL

Set it up
Connect Product Hunt to Tray.ai
Each step uses Product Hunt's own API details, from its documentation.
Step 1
Sign in to Product Hunt with OAuth 2.0
Ask Product Hunt for API access. Once it's approved, set up an OAuth 2.0 authentication with the client ID and secret of an OAuth app you register with Product Hunt. Sign in once and every step reads the token from there.
Step 2
Point the HTTP Client at the API
Add an HTTP Client step and use https://api.producthunt.com/v2/api/graphql as the base URL. Or paste a cURL example from Product Hunt's API docs, and Tray.ai fills in the method, URL, and headers.
Step 3
Start with “Get a post”
It's one of 9 documented actions, under Posts. The response comes back as data the next step can map into your other apps.
Step 4
Hand it to an AI agent
Wrap “List posts” and “Get a collection” in workflows, and Tray.ai's Agent Gateway for MCP publishes them as governed tools Claude and other AI agents can call.
What the Product Hunt API covers
4 resources and 9 documented actions, each one a call the HTTP Connector can make from a Tray.ai workflow. Product Hunt gives API access on request, so approved credentials come first. Connecting it takes a few clicks: here's how.

- Get a collection
- List collections
