# Show HN Launches

**Use case:** 

Every Show HN post from the last week, with its points, comment count and the product's real website. Each launch is then checked against public company signals: who is hiring, who is in the news, who ships apps. The result is a Hacker News launch feed you can actually act on.

## Input

```json
{
  "sources": [
    "showHn"
  ],
  "days": 7,
  "maxLaunches": 50,
  "keywords": [],
  "minTraction": 0,

    "press",
    "shopify",
    "apps"
  ],
  "country": "US",

}
```

## Output

```json

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/precious_bathmat/launch-lead-radar.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
