Pulls stories from HN's front page, /best, /show, /ask, /jobs feeds, or by keyword search. Returns clean structured records.

Why use this

  • Six feed modes — front (top), best, Show HN, Ask HN, Jobs, or full-text search
  • Free, reliable sources — HN's official Firebase + Algolia APIs (no proxies needed)
  • Rich output — title, URL, author, points, comments, tags, timestamps, parsed domain
  • Score filter — exclude low-signal posts in-actor

Use cases

  • Newsletter aggregators ("today's HN top 20")
  • Trend monitoring ("everything mentioning AI today")
  • Domain analysis (which sites are getting front-paged)
  • AI training corpus from high-signal posts
  • Competitive intel (Show HN launches in your space)

Pricing

  • $0.005 per story returned
  • $0.005 per scrape started

100 stories = $0.51.
