How this service works
Hacker News feed of items. Pass kind = top (default) | new | best | ask | show | job to pick the feed. Returns each item's id, type, author, time (unix + ISO), title, URL, text (for self-posts), score, descendant + kid counts, parent (for comments), dead/deleted flags, and canonical news.ycombinator.com URL. Default limit = 30, max 100. Useful for tech-sentiment + topic tracking.
Output
A list of up to 100 Hacker News items, each containing id, type, author, unix and ISO timestamps, title, URL, self-post text, score, descendant and kid counts, parent id (for comments), dead/deleted flags, and a canonical news.ycombinator.com URL. Default returns 30 items from the 'top' feed.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“Pull the top 50 stories from Hacker News right now — I want to see titles, scores, authors, and links so I can track what the tech community is buzzing about.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://2s.io/api/news/hn-topWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need structured Hacker News feed data with rich metadata (scores, authors, timestamps, URLs) in a single call without scraping. Prefer it over raw HN API calls when you need ISO timestamps and canonical URLs pre-formatted, or when you want to filter by feed type (ask, show, job) in one parameter. Best for tech sentiment tracking, topic monitoring, and developer community pulse-checking.
Side effects
- Invalid 'kind' enum value returns an error — must be one of top, new, best, ask, show, job
- limit above 100 is rejected by schema validation
- Payment failure (402) if USDC balance is insufficient
- HN upstream outage may cause stale or empty results
- Network timeout if HN API is slow to respond
