How this service works
Hacker News newest stories. Returns the most recently submitted stories — great for real-time tech news monitoring.
Output
Returns a JSON object with a 'feed' field set to 'newstories', a 'count' of stories returned, and a 'stories' array where each story includes the id, title, URL, author (by), submission time (ISO 8601), score, story type, and number of descendants (comments).
Example use cases
Real-time startup news monitoring
“Check the latest Hacker News submissions and flag any new posts about AI startups or funding announcements from the last few hours.”
Emerging tech trends early detection
“Grab the newest stories submitted to Hacker News in the past 30 minutes and summarize what technologies people are talking about before they trend.”
Breaking news alert system
“Fetch the most recently submitted Hacker News posts and alert me if there are any stories about major tech company announcements or security vulnerabilities.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://hackernews-x402.vercel.app/hn/newWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need the absolute freshest Hacker News submissions in chronological order rather than ranked by score. Ideal for real-time monitoring, tracking emerging topics before they trend, or building a live feed of HN activity. Use the top stories endpoint instead if you want editorially ranked, high-quality posts.
Side effects
- limit parameter exceeds 30 — may return an error or be capped
- Hacker News API is temporarily unavailable — upstream 502/503 error
- Invalid limit value (non-numeric) — likely 400 bad request
- No new stories in time window — returns empty stories array
