Woot — Printing Press CLI

Prerequisites: Install the CLI

This skill drives the woot-pp-cli binary. You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill. If it is missing, install it first:

1. Install via the Printing Press installer. It defaults binaries to $HOME/.local/bin on macOS/Linux and %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\PrintingPress\bin on Windows:

   npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press-library install woot --cli-only

2. Verify: woot-pp-cli --version
3. Ensure the reported install directory is on $PATH for the agent/runtime that will invoke this skill.

If the npx install fails (no Node, offline, etc.), fall back to a direct Go install (requires Go 1.26.5 or newer). This installs into $GOPATH/bin (default $HOME/go/bin), so add that directory to $PATH instead:

go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/commerce/woot/cmd/woot-pp-cli@latest

If --version reports "command not found" after install, the runtime cannot see the binary directory on $PATH. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds.

Find offers that are buried deep in Woot's paginated All Deals catalog, then save a locally searchable snapshot with explicit completeness metadata. The CLI exposes the browser-observed searchOffers query without allowing GraphQL mutations.

When Not to Use This CLI

Do not activate this CLI for requests that require creating, updating, deleting, publishing, commenting, upvoting, inviting, ordering, sending messages, booking, purchasing, or changing remote state. This printed CLI exposes read-only commands for inspection, export, sync, and analysis.

Unique Capabilities

These capabilities aren't available in any other tool for this API.

Live deal discovery

• deals — Scan Woot's paged All Deals results and filter live offers by keyword.

  Use this when Woot's visible All Deals pages contain an offer that a single GraphQL page or direct offer lookup would miss; scan metadata reports short windows, duplicate IDs, and rows without identities.

  woot-pp-cli deals rayon --limit 10000 --agent

HTTP Transport

This CLI uses Chrome-compatible HTTP transport for browser-facing endpoints. It does not require a resident browser process for normal API calls.

Discovery Signals

This CLI was generated with browser-observed traffic context.

• Capture coverage: 7 API entries from 7 total network entries
• Protocols: graphql (92% confidence)
• Auth signals: api_key — headers: x-api-key
• Candidate command ideas: list_graphql — Derived from observed GET /graphql traffic.

Recipes

Search a filtered slice of All Deals

woot-pp-cli deals laptop --category computers --price-range 50-100 --limit 500 --agent

Scan current computer deals priced from $50 to $100 and return title matches as compact JSON.

Command Reference

deals — Search Woot All Deals offers

• woot-pp-cli deals [keyword] — scan Woot's paged All Deals GraphQL results up to --limit, then filter titles, slugs, and item attributes locally.
• woot-pp-cli deals [keyword] --from-url <woot-alldeals-url> — reuse category, price, and page filters from a copied Woot /alldeals URL.
• woot-pp-cli deals [keyword] --category sport --price-range under-25 --price-range 25-50 --page 13 — reproduce visible All Deals filters from CLI flags.

Machine output reports scanned, unique_scanned, duplicate_rows, missing_id_rows, expected_scan, and incomplete. The completeness flag covers the requested live scan window; it does not claim that a smaller --limit covered Woot's entire catalog. Repeated IDs are omitted from results, and human table output warns when a requested window is incomplete.

graphql — Run read-only Woot GraphQL queries

• woot-pp-cli graphql — fetch one current All Deals offer with a default searchOffers query.
• woot-pp-cli graphql --query '<query>' — run a custom read-only Woot GraphQL query; mutation and subscription documents are rejected.

sync and search — Build and query an offline Woot deal index

• woot-pp-cli sync --full — start at the head of All Deals, store normalized offers and prices, and prune expired rows only after two consecutive full scans return the same complete set of deal IDs. If Woot changes between scans, the CLI preserves existing rows and marks the snapshot incomplete for another pass.
• woot-pp-cli search '<query>' --type deals --data-source local — search the local deal catalog without another Woot request.

Woot's mutable offset feed can repeat IDs or return fewer unique rows than TotalHits. Live scans expose this explicitly, and an incomplete sync warning is a deliberate non-success: local matches remain useful, but missing local matches are not authoritative until a later sync verifies the catalog.

--no-prune deliberately retains rows outside the verified live ID set. The store remains marked incomplete while those rows exist; use sync --full without --no-prune to publish an exact current local snapshot.

Finding the right command

When you know what you want to do but not which command does it, ask the CLI directly:

woot-pp-cli which "<capability in your own words>"

which resolves a natural-language capability query to the best matching command from this CLI's curated feature index. Exit code 0 means at least one match; exit code 2 means no confident match — fall back to --help or use a narrower query.

Auth Setup

Capture the x-api-key value from a successful graphql request made by your own Woot All Deals browser session, then provide it through D24QG5ZSX8XDC4_CLOUDFRONT_API_KEY or auth set-token.

Run woot-pp-cli doctor to verify setup.

Agent Mode

Add --agent to any command. Expands to: --json --compact --no-input --no-color --yes.

• Pipeable — JSON on stdout, errors on stderr

• Filterable — --select keeps a subset of fields. Dotted paths descend into nested structures; arrays traverse element-wise. Critical for keeping context small on verbose APIs:

  woot-pp-cli graphql --agent --select data.searchOffers.TotalHits

• Previewable — --dry-run shows the request without sending

• Offline-friendly — sync/search commands can use the local SQLite store when available

• Non-interactive — never prompts, every input is a flag

• Read-only — do not use this CLI for create, update, delete, publish, comment, upvote, invite, order, send, or other mutating requests
