Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.getanyapi.com/v1/run/hackernews.profileWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically retrieve public Hacker News user profile data without managing browser automation or scraping infrastructure yourself, and want pay-per-use pricing with no subscription commitment. Prefer it over building a custom scraper when you need occasional or sporadic lookups of HN user data.
Side effects
- Username does not exist on Hacker News — returns error or empty result
- Hacker News site is temporarily down or rate-limiting — request fails or times out
- Malformed username input — API returns validation error
- Hacker News changes its HTML structure, breaking the scraper — stale or incomplete data returned
- Insufficient USDC balance — payment fails and request is rejected
