Hacker News Search

Search Hacker News and get structured results, for tracking mentions of a product, competitor or topic.

What it does

  • Search stories, comments, Ask HN, Show HN or jobs.
  • Filter by minimum points and by date.
  • Only new results: turn on onlyNew and schedule the Actor to get only what earlier runs did not deliver. Nothing already delivered is charged again.
  • Bad inputs don't fail the run: each input's status is listed in SUMMARY in the key-value store, and failed inputs produce no charged results.

Input

{
"queries": [
"apify"
]
}

All options are described on the Input tab.

Output

Each result has these fields, plus fetchedAt. Fields without a value are null.

  • objectId: Hacker News item ID.
  • query: Query that found it.
  • title: Title, or the parent story's title for comments.
  • url: Linked URL.
  • author: Username.
  • points: Points.
  • numComments: Comment count.
  • createdAt: Creation time.
  • text: Text of a comment or Ask HN post.
  • hnUrl: Hacker News link.

Pricing

$0.0005 per result returned, plus $0.001 per run. If you set a maximum cost per run, the Actor stops at that limit.

Limits

  • It uses the public Algolia Hacker News search API, which returns about 1,000 results at most per query. Narrow by date for more.
  • Point and comment counts are as of the search index's last update.

Issues

Open an issue on the Issues tab with your input and run ID. This Actor isn't affiliated with or endorsed by the services it reads.
