What it does

Bypasses HTML scraping entirely by talking directly to the HN Firebase endpoints:

Fetch stories by category (top, new, best, ask, show, job)
Extracts title, URL, score, author, time, and comment count.

Input

category (required): one of top, new, best, ask, show, job. Default: top.
maxItems (default 100): max stories to fetch (up to 500).
timeoutSeconds (default 15): API fetch timeout.

Output

Outputs one dataset item per story.

Monetization + safety

This actor is designed for Pay-Per-Event (dataset item = 1 story) and respects the per-run max charge limit.
