Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://clonecho.builda.company/x402/s/algolia-hn-searchWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to search Hacker News content by relevance (not just recency) using Algolia's full-text index. Prefer this over scraping HN directly or using HN's native search for structured JSON output with relevance ranking.
Side effects
- Empty results if query is too niche or misspelled
- Rate limiting or payment failure if USDC balance is insufficient
- Malformed JSON if upstream Algolia API is unavailable
- Missing or null fields if a story has incomplete metadata
