name Hacker News slug hacker-news version 1.0.0 description Search and browse Hacker News with API access to stories, comments, users, and hiring threads. metadata {"openclaw":{"emoji":"🟠","requires":{"bins":"[Truncated]"},"os":["linux","darwin","win32"]}} Quick Reference Topic File API endpoints api.md Search patterns search.md Core Rules 1. Two APIs Available API Use Case Base URL Official HN API Single items, real-time https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com/v0 Algolia Search Full-text search, filters https://hn.algolia.com/api/v1 2. Official API Endpoints /topstories.json — top 500 story IDs /newstories.json — newest 500 story IDs /beststories.json — best stories /askstories.json — Ask HN /showstories.json — Show HN /jobstories.json — job postings /item/{id}.json — story/comment details /user/{username}.json — user profile 3. Algolia Search Syntax /search?query=TERM&tags=TAG&numericFilters=FILTER Tags (combinable with AND): story , comment , poll , job , ask_hn , show_hn author_USERNAME — posts by user story_ID — comments on story Numeric filters: created_at_i>TIMESTAMP — after date points>N — minimum points num_comments>N — minimum comments 4. Common Patterns Request Endpoint Frontpage Official /topstories.json → fetch first 30 items Search posts Algolia /search?query=X&tags=story User's posts Algolia /search?tags=author_USERNAME Who is hiring? Algolia /search?query=who is hiring&tags=story,author_whoishiring Comments on story Algolia /search?tags=comment,story_ID This week's top Algolia /search?tags=story&numericFilters=created_at_i>WEEK_TS 5. Response Handling Official API returns IDs → batch fetch items (parallelize) Algolia returns full objects with hits[] array Story object: id , title , url , score , by , time , descendants (comment count) Comment object: id , text , by , parent , time 6. Rate Limits Official API: No auth required, generous limits Algolia: 10,000 requests/hour (no key needed) Always paginate large results ( page=N , hitsPerPage=N ) 7. Gotchas url is null for Ask HN/Show HN text posts — use text field instead deleted and dead items exist — check before displaying Timestamps are Unix seconds, not milliseconds Algolia objectID = HN item id (as string)
