Documentation
Search motorcycle and ATV listings from the terminal — with MotoHunt's MSRP/average-price/deal-rating data exposed as structured fields no other tool gives you.
MotoHunt has no public API; this CLI scrapes its server-rendered HTML with one HTTP GET per page and returns clean JSON. It surfaces the price-research data (base MSRP, average listing price, deal rating) that makes 'is this a good deal?' answerable, ranks synced inventory by under-market gap with deal, watches saved searches for new listings and price drops, and covers the ATV sister site via --site atv.
Quick Start
# health check + selector-health probe, no network needed
motohunt-pp-cli doctor --dry-run
# best-deal Harleys near a ZIP, parsed cards as JSON
motohunt-pp-cli search --make Harley-Davidson --location 33705 --sort c --limit 30 --agent
# one listing's price-research at a glance
motohunt-pp-cli get 13256655 --agent --select title,price,base_msrp,alp,deal_rating
# same search against the ATV marketplace
motohunt-pp-cli search --site atv --style Sport --location 33705 --agent
Unique Features
These capabilities aren't available in any other tool for this API.
Price intelligence
-
get— See a listing's MSRP, average listing price, and deal rating as typed fields, not buried prose.Reach for this to answer 'is this listing actually a good price?' without reading the page.
motohunt-pp-cli get 13256655 --agent --select base_msrp,alp,deal_rating -
deal— Rank synced listings by how far the asking price sits below the average listing price.Reach for this to surface the biggest under-market deals across a whole search.
motohunt-pp-cli deal --make Harley-Davidson --location 33705 --limit 20 --agent
Local state that compounds
-
watch run— Re-run saved searches and report new listings and price drops since the last run.Reach for this to monitor a hunt over time instead of re-searching by hand.
motohunt-pp-cli watch run --agent
Coverage
-
search— Search motorcycles (motohunt.com) or ATV/UTV/SxS (atvhunt.com) from one binary via --site.Reach for --site atv when the hunt is four-wheelers instead of bikes.
motohunt-pp-cli search --site atv --location 33705 --agent

Health Check
motohunt-pp-cli doctor
Verifies configuration and connectivity to the API.
Configuration
Config file: ~/.config/motohunt-pp-cli/config.toml
Static request headers can be configured under headers; per-command header overrides take precedence.
Troubleshooting
Not found errors (exit code 3)
- Check the resource ID is correct
- Run the
listcommand to see available items
API-specific
- search returns zero cards but the site shows results — the page HTML changed; run
motohunt-pp-cli doctorto check selector health and re-verify the card selectors - only 24 results come back — raise --limit; the CLI auto-pages via ?start= in 24-row pages up to --max-pages
For agents: pass /documentation/motohunt/agents.md to install this CLI from a prompt.
