# Find new Show HN projects about AI and LLMs

**Use case:** 

Show HN posts from the last 48 hours that mention AI, LLM, GPT or agents in the title or the description. Each row has the title, link, domain, score, comment count, posting time and the text the author wrote, so you can spot new tools and launches early. Change the keywords or the time window.

    "show"

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Hacker News Scraper API: Top, New, Best, Ask, Show Stories](https://apify.com/rowcraft/hacker-news-scraper.md) with a specific input configuration.

## 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/rowcraft/hacker-news-scraper.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`).
