How this service works

Example use cases

Automated HN monitoring alert

Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://pyfile-agent.taile3ff35.ts.net/data/hn/topWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a quick, paid-API-gated snapshot of the current Hacker News front page without scraping HN directly. Prefer this over raw HN API calls when your agent already operates in a micropayment (x402) context and you want a clean, normalized response without handling HN's multi-step item-fetching pattern.
Side effects
- HN API unreachable or rate-limited — returns upstream error
- Invalid limit parameter type — returns validation error
- Tailscale node offline — connection refused
- Empty response if HN top list temporarily unavailable
