Find recent Hacker News stories matching a product or technology phrase through the public Algolia-operated HN Search API. Export dated story IDs, score, discussion count and canonical HN links for repeated product-research or developer-relations checks. This independent Actor is not endorsed by HN, YC or Algolia.
Input
query defaults to Python (1–60 characters, no contacts/URLs); lookbackDays defaults to 14 (1–30); minPoints defaults to 10 (0–1000); maxItems defaults to 50 (1–100). Nondefault example: Rust, 7 days, 10 points, 50 rows. The source may match indexed fields beyond the returned title; title inclusion of the exact phrase is not promised.
Output
One row per validated unique story match: title after contact redaction, story ID, UTC publish time, observed points/comment count, HN item link, source rank, reported match count, whether that count was exhaustive, and whether newer-first output omitted additional pages. The public Algolia index may lag HN or report approximate counts. These are observed engagement values, not sentiment or market size. No authors, comments, story body, external-article scraping or complete HN history.
Pricing
$0.001 per delivered story-match-delivered row on FREE. No start, request, duplicate, failed or zero-row charge. A 20-row run costs at most $0.02; 100-row hard maximum costs $0.10.
Limits and failure
One fixed source search GET plus runtime robots GET, one newest-first page, 2 MiB source response cap, 256 MB, 120 seconds, no browser, proxy or paid API. A blocked, rate-limited, malformed or timed-out source fails before output and charge. Zero valid matches fail explicitly rather than succeeding empty.
Privacy and source
Only public HN story identity and numeric engagement metadata are delivered. Search inputs containing contact-like identifiers are rejected; titles are capped and contact strings redacted. Source: public HN Search API operated by Algolia. YC terms restrict automated extraction and commercial copying; collection is bounded, with no bypass or authored text export.
