HN "Who is Hiring?" Scraper — monthly tech job posts, structured
Extract structured job posts from Hacker News' monthly "Who is hiring?" threads — the highest-signal tech job board on the internet, refreshed on the 1st of every month.
What it does
- Auto-finds the latest monthly thread (or scrape any specific thread URL you give it)
- Pulls every top-level job post via Hacker News' official APIs (Algolia + Firebase) — no HTML scraping, nothing to break when HN redesigns
- Extracts contact e-mails from each post automatically
- Optional keyword filter: keep only posts mentioning e.g.
python, remote - Outputs: author, post date, thread/comment URLs, extracted e-mails, full post text
Recruiters re-run it monthly for fresh leads; job seekers filter by their stack.
Input
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Thread URL | Direct link to a hiring thread. Leave empty to auto-find the latest month |
| Max posts | Cap on posts extracted (default 300) |
| Keyword filter | Comma-separated keywords, e.g. python, remote — empty keeps everything |
Output
One dataset row per job post: comment ID, author, posted timestamp, thread URL, comment URL, extracted e-mail addresses, full text.
Pricing
Pay-per-event: a small charge per run start plus a per-post charge. Platform compute costs are passed through.
Notes
- Respects Hacker News' public APIs with polite concurrency and retries.
- E-mail extraction is regex-based; always verify addresses before outreach.
