# San Francisco and Bay Area postings from Hacker News

**Use case:** 

Scrapes the three most recent "Ask HN: Who is hiring?" threads and keeps postings that mention San Francisco or the Bay Area anywhere in their text. One row per posting with company, role, parsed location, remote status, tech stack, apply link and the Hacker News comment link. Replace the keywords with any other city to retarget it.

## 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/solidcode/hackernews-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`).
