Turn the monthly "Ask HN: Who is hiring?" thread into a clean, structured job dataset. Every month HN's hiring thread has 300-500 great job posts buried in free-text comments — this Actor parses them into fields you can filter, search, and pipe into a spreadsheet, ATS, or job board.
Why not just use the HN API? The official API returns each post as a raw HTML comment blob. This Actor does the hard part: it finds the right monthly thread automatically and parses each listing into company, role, location, remote, salary, and techTags — plus remote-only and keyword filtering.
What you get per listing
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
company | Company / org name |

techTags | Detected technologies (rust, python, react, aws, …) |

Input
{"month": "latest","remoteOnly": true,"keywords": ["rust", "python"],"maxResults": 500}
| Field | Type | Default | Description |

month | string | latest | latest or a specific month like July 2026 |
threadId | string | – | Override: parse a specific HN thread item ID |

keywords | array | [] | Only return listings matching ANY keyword |
maxResults | integer | 500 | Max listings to return (1-1000) |
