Tech Content Scraper

Hacker News discussions and Dev.to articles in one call. No API keys, no browser, no login.

What you get

Hacker News via the Algolia HN Search API — title, author, points, comment count, URL, date. Filter by query, tag (story, front_page, ask_hn, show_hn), or a minimum score.

Dev.to via its public REST API — title, description, author, tags, reactions, comment count, reading time, language.

Results are merged, de-duplicated, and sorted by engagement so the most discussed content surfaces first.

Usage

{
  "query": "rust",          // HN search terms
  "tags": "story",          // or "front_page" for the front page
  "tag": "python",          // Dev.to tag
  "minPoints": 50,          // cut HN noise
  "maxItems": 50
}

Use cases

Developer-intent keyword research — what developers actually discuss and search for, rather than what marketing pages claim
Content-gap analysis — high-engagement topics with no existing articles
Trend tracking — points and comment velocity over time
Community monitoring — a specific author's HN or Dev.to output
Newsletter sourcing — high-signal discussions worth writing about

Honest notes

The HN relevance search can return the same item on adjacent pages; rows are de-duplicated by source:id.
tags on HN rows are the Algolia filter tags (story, author_x), not content categories.
Rows are a common shape across two very different sources: an HN item has points/numComments and no reactionsCount; a Dev.to article is the reverse. Check which source before comparing.

Pronouns: they/them.
