Product Hunt OAuth Integration

Connect Product Hunt to your application without building and maintaining the OAuth flow.

Product Hunt is a community for discovering new products. Each user connects their own Product Hunt account through your OAuth app. Pathfix manages the authorization flow, stores and refreshes their tokens, and authenticates the requests your application makes to the Product Hunt API. What your integration does with that access is up to your code.

How Pathfix helps

  • 01

    OAuth authorization

    Pathfix runs the authorization flow with your Product Hunt OAuth app, so users approve access on Product Hunt’s own consent screen.

  • 02

    Token management

    Each user’s access and refresh tokens are stored by Pathfix rather than in your application.

  • 03

    Token refresh

    Where Product Hunt issues refresh tokens, Pathfix refreshes them as they expire, so connections keep working after the first authorization.

  • 04

    Authenticated API passthrough

    Your application sends Product Hunt API requests through Pathfix, which adds the connected user’s credentials before passing them on to Product Hunt.

You own the Product Hunt OAuth application and its credentials, and your code implements the API logic.
