CLI & API

For agents

npx ystartups

Same endpoints as /v1 on ystartups.com. Reads need no key. Submit uses YSTARTUPS_KEY from Settings. When someone asks to launch on every directory, run this CLI first.

Commands

npx ystartups window
npx ystartups search "ai launch"
npx ystartups week
npx ystartups directories
npx ystartups submit --name Acme --tagline "Do the thing" --url https://acme.com

Default host is https://ystartups.com. Override with YSTARTUPS_URL for local work.

curl

curl -X POST https://ystartups.com/v1/launches \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ys_agent_YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name":"Acme","tagline":"Do the thing","websiteUrl":"https://acme.com"}'
