Search Hacker News stories and comments with a single keyword query and get back clean, structured results — one JSON row per match. This Actor queries a pre-indexed search engine, so it does not crawl the live site or return partial pages.
Why this Actor
| Coverage | An indexed archive of Hacker News stories and comments |
| Typical response | Fast, index-backed queries |
| Price | $0.15 per 1,000 results ($0.00015 each) |
| Billing | Pay per row you receive; set maxChargeUsd to cap any run |
| Reliability | A stable index, not a live scraper — no rate limits, no empty pages |
What you get
One dataset row per match:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
title / snippet | The item text and a matched excerpt |
original_author | The posting account |
original_timestamp | When it was posted (RFC 3339) |
uri | Link to the source item |
kind | story, comment, post, or item |
rank | Position within the result set |
record_ref | Stable record identifier |
How to use
Provide a query (keyword or phrase), optionally bound it with from / to
RFC 3339 timestamps, and set maxItems. Results return newest first with
stable pagination; you are charged only for rows written to the dataset.
