What it returns

One record per story:

Field	Meaning
`id`	HN item ID
`type`	`story`, `job`, `poll`
`title`	Story title
`url`	Linked article URL (null for text posts such as Ask HN)
`hnUrl`	The discussion page on news.ycombinator.com
`by`	Poster's HN handle
`score`	Points
`commentCount`	Number of comments
`time`	Posted time (ISO 8601)
`text`	Post body for text posts, else null

Input

mode — top (front page, default), new, best, ask, show, job, or search.
query — required for search; full-text over titles and URLs.
sortBy — for search: relevance (default) or date.
maxItems — stop after this many stories (default 100, max 10,000). Feeds hold up to 500 current stories.

  "id": 8863,

Pricing

Pay per item. You are charged one item event for each story written to the dataset, nothing for empty feeds or searches with no hits.

Limits

Feeds return the current list (up to 500 IDs each); search pages through Algolia's results until maxItems.
Reads only the official APIs, identified as IntegraActor/1.0, at a polite rate; stops cleanly if an API rate-limits it.
Public data only. Handles are stored as HN publishes them and never aggregated across stories.
