Full-text search across all of Hacker News — stories, comments, Ask/Show HN, polls — by keyword, author, date or points, powered by the free official HN Algolia API. Returns clean JSON with title, url, author, points and comment counts. No key or login required.
You can access the Hacker News Algolia Search programmatically from your own applications by using the Apify API. You can also choose the language preference from below. To use the Apify API, you’ll need an Apify account and your API token, found in API & Integrations in Apify Console.

It uses OAuth, so your client opens a browser window to sign you in to Apify on first use. No API token is needed. Clients without OAuth support can authenticate with an Authorization: Bearer header carrying an API token from API & Integrations in Apify Console.
