Scrape public Hacker News sections and return ranked story rows with titles, URLs, authors, points, ages, and comment counts.
This Ushba actor is prepared for clean exports, predictable limits, and scheduled workflows. It focuses on useful rows instead of noisy scrape artifacts.
What You Get
- rank, title, story URL, author, points, age, and comment count
- support for front, newest, ask, show, jobs, best, active, and classic sections
- simple trend and startup-signal output for research and monitoring
Best For
- lead generation, research, monitoring, enrichment, and reporting workflows
- exporting clean rows to CSV, Excel, JSON, APIs, CRMs, or automation tools
- scheduled runs where predictable output and clear result limits matter
How To Use
- Add the public URLs, keywords, locations, handles, or settings required by the input form.
- Set the result limit to match the number of rows you want to pay for.
- Run the actor once for a sample, then schedule it if you need monitoring.
- Export the dataset or connect it to your workflow through the Apify API or integrations.
Output
The default dataset returns structured rows using the fields listed above. Empty, blocked, or failed targets are handled clearly so downstream tools can filter results without guessing.
Notes
- Works with public data that the target website exposes during the run.
- Uses result caps and error handling to avoid runaway runs.
- Private, login-only, or heavily blocked pages may return fewer rows than requested.
