`ORBIT_WORKSPACE_ID`	ID for your Orbit workspace	Last part of the Orbit workspace URL, i.e. `https://app.orbit.love/my-workspace`, the ID is `my-workspace`

Package Usage

Install the package with the following command

The standard initialization of the library requires the following signature:

const OrbitProductHunt = require('@orbit-love/producthunt')
const orbitProductHunt = new OrbitProductHunt('orbitWorkspaceId', 'orbitApiKey', 'productHuntApiKey', 'productHuntApiSecret')

If you have the following environment variables set: ORBIT_WORKSPACE_ID, ORBIT_API_KEY, PRODUCT_HUNT_API_KEY, and PRODUCT_HUNT_API_SECRET then you can initialize the client as follows:

const OrbitProductHunt = require('@orbit-love/producthunt')
const orbitProductHunt = new OrbitProductHunt()

const products = await orbitProductHunt.getProducts('_phzn')

const prepared = await orbitProductHunt.prepareVotes(votes, 24) // 24 is the number of previous hours to get votes from

console.log(outcome)

const prepared = await orbitProductHunt.prepareComments(votes, 24) // 24 is the number of previous hours to get votes from
const outcome = await orbitProductHunt.addActivities(prepared)
console.log(outcome)
