Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://x402-datashop-production.up.railway.app/v1/dev/hn-topWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need real-time Hacker News front page data in a single merged payload, especially for launch detection, incident monitoring, or tech buzz tracking. Prefer this over scraping HN directly or calling the Firebase API yourself, as it fans out all top story requests and merges them for you with score filtering built in.
Side effects
- n out of range (must be 1-30) returns a validation error
- min_score too high returns an empty story list
- Upstream Firebase/HN API outage causes a fetch failure
- Cache miss on cold start may add slight latency
- Invalid query parameter types return a 400 error
