Hacker News Scraper: Stories, Comments, Search & "Who Is Hiring" Jobs
Get Hacker News data fast and reliably from the official HN API (Firebase) and Algolia's HN Search API. It doesn't scrape HTML, so it won't break or get blocked.
Modes
| Mode | What you get |
|---|---|
front_page, new, best, ask, show, jobs | Live lists with rank, points, comment count, URL/domain, author, text |
search | Full-text search of stories and/or comments, sorted by date or relevance, filtered by minimum points and date |
user | A user's profile (karma, about) plus their latest stories and/or comments |
who_is_hiring | The latest monthly "Who is hiring?", "Who wants to be hired?" or Freelancer thread, parsed into structured posts: company, remote/hybrid/onsite, salary, visa sponsorship, apply links, with keyword filtering |
Turn on maxCommentsPerStory to also get threaded comments (with depth and parentId) for each story.
