Endpoint

Use this endpoint when you need to retrieve stored details for a specific Hacker News story by its entity ID. It is ideal when you already know the story's entity ID (e.g. 'hn:39123456') and want structured metadata about it, or when you want to list all tracked HN entities by omitting the ID parameter.

- Invalid or malformed entityId returns an error or empty result
- Story ID not in the tracked set returns no entity data
- Network timeout on the railway.app host
- Payment not accepted (x402 payment required, $0.01 USDC)
- Missing required 'input' wrapper in request body
