CLI reader for 4D4Y/HiPDA Discovery forum posts.

hipda

CLI reader for the 4D4Y/HiPDA Discovery channel (fid=2).

The site uses browser/session checks, so direct unauthenticated requests may return a Cloudflare challenge. Log in once through Chrome:

uvx --from . hipda login

From PyPI:

uvx hipda login

That opens 4D4Y in Google Chrome. After you finish logging in, return to the terminal and press Enter. Then read Discovery:

uvx --from . hipda list --limit 20
uvx --from . hipda read 3446553

From PyPI:

uvx hipda list --limit 20
uvx hipda read 3446553

hipda list hides pinned threads by default; pass --show-pinned to include them. It also tries to import automatically if Chrome is already logged in, so most of the time you can skip straight to reading. The old hipda discovery list and hipda discovery read commands still work.

The cookie is stored at ~/.config/hipda/cookie and the user agent is stored at ~/.config/hipda/user-agent, both with 0600 permissions. You can override them per command with HIPDA_COOKIE / --cookie and HIPDA_USER_AGENT / --user-agent.

You can also pass a browser user agent:

HIPDA_USER_AGENT='Mozilla/5.0 ...' uvx --from . hipda list

The CLI disables HTTPS certificate verification by default because 4D4Y often fails from Python environments where Chrome still works. To verify certificates, pass a trusted root certificate and --verify-tls:

uvx --from . hipda --verify-tls --ca-file /path/to/root-ca.pem list
