- **Full Actor documentation**: https://apify.com/deriverge/hacker-news-scraper.md

##### 2026-10-11

*Features*

- First public version: Hacker News stories from the top, new, best, Ask HN, Show HN and job lists, full-text search with date, points and comment filters, and stories given by link or ID, with points, comment count, submitter and time. Optional comment threads as rows with depth and parent, a keyword filter, and a new-only mode for scheduled alerts.

*Fixes*

- New-only mode no longer marks rows cut off by **Maximum rows** or the spending limit as seen; the next run returns them.
- An empty search term is sorted newest first, as the **Order** field says.
- Comment threads are read 4 stories at a time: 160 stories with their comments now take about 40 seconds instead of 5 minutes.
- For stories given in **Stories**, `commentsCount` is the total of the thread as Hacker News counts it, and the new `commentsRead` field gives the number of comments returned.
- With **Include comments** on, a link to a single comment returns that comment and its replies.
