Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://webtools402.176-109-107-191.sslip.io/dev/hnWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need quantitative Hacker News engagement data — story count, aggregated points and comments, and top posts — for a project, library, or topic. It is ideal for gauging developer community interest or sentiment without needing an API key, as it wraps the free Algolia HN search API. Prefer this over scraping or manual HN search when you need structured, aggregated metrics.
Side effects
- Missing required 'query' parameter returns an error
- Days value outside 1–3650 range is rejected by schema validation
- Obscure or misspelled queries may return zero stories with empty results
- Network or upstream Algolia API downtime causes 5xx responses
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance blocks access
