Quick Reference

TopicFileAPI endpointsapi.mdSearch patternssearch.md

1. Two APIs Available

APIUse CaseBase URLOfficial HN APISingle items, real-timehttps://hacker-news.firebaseio.com/v0Algolia SearchFull-text search, filtershttps://hn.algolia.com/api/v1

2. Official API Endpoints

/topstories.json โ€” top 500 story IDs /newstories.json โ€” newest 500 story IDs /beststories.json โ€” best stories /askstories.json โ€” Ask HN /showstories.json โ€” Show HN /jobstories.json โ€” job postings /item/{id}.json โ€” story/comment details /user/{username}.json โ€” 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 โ€” posts by user story_ID โ€” comments on story Numeric filters: created_at_i>TIMESTAMP โ€” after date points>N โ€” minimum points num_comments>N โ€” minimum comments

4. Common Patterns

RequestEndpointFrontpageOfficial /topstories.json โ†’ fetch first 30 itemsSearch postsAlgolia /search?query=X&tags=storyUser's postsAlgolia /search?tags=author_USERNAMEWho is hiring?Algolia /search?query=who is hiring&tags=story,author_whoishiringComments on storyAlgolia /search?tags=comment,story_IDThis week's topAlgolia /search?tags=story&numericFilters=created_at_i>WEEK_TS

5. Response Handling

Official API returns IDs โ†’ 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 โ€” use text field instead deleted and dead items exist โ€” check before displaying Timestamps are Unix seconds, not milliseconds Algolia objectID = HN item id (as string)

Category context

Code helpers, APIs, CLIs, browser automation, testing, and developer operations.
