Hacker News – Who Is Hiring Structured Job Extractor
Turn the monthly "Ask HN: Who is hiring?" thread into clean, structured, ready-to-use job data. Every month thousands of high-quality tech jobs are posted on Hacker News as free-form comments — great to read, painful to work with. This Actor parses them into columns you can filter, export, and load anywhere.
What you get per job
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
company | Hiring company name |
role | Job title / role |
location | Detected location |
remote | Remote / Hybrid / Onsite / Not specified |
techStack | Detected technologies (React, Python, Go, AWS, …) |
salary | Salary if the poster included one |
applyUrl | Application link if present |
applyEmail | Application email if present |
postedBy | HN username |
threadDate | Which monthly thread it came from |
commentUrl | Direct link to the original HN comment |
fullText | Full cleaned comment text |
Why this Actor
- Reliable — uses the official Hacker News API, not fragile HTML scraping. No blocking, no proxies needed.
- Structured — content-aware parsing classifies each field by pattern, not brittle column position.
- Filterable — pull only remote jobs, only jobs mentioning your stack, or only a location.
Use cases
- Recruiters and job-board operators aggregating fresh, high-quality tech roles
- Developers tracking who's hiring for their stack, remotely
- Founders and researchers analysing hiring trends, salaries, and tech demand over time
