How this service works
Data APIs (leads, jobs, YouTube, Reddit, Trends, SEC, tenders...). POST JSON, pay per call in USDC on Base via x402. Charged only when results are returned.
Output
A JSON object with a count field and an items array. Each item is a structured object — for hiring mode: company, role, location, remote flag, salary, and apply link; for search/front_page: story title, URL, points, author, and date.
Example use cases
Remote Python developer job search
“Pull the latest month's 'Who is Hiring?' thread from Hacker News and give me up to 100 remote jobs that mention Python — I'm only interested in remote positions.”
Brand mention monitoring on HN
“Search Hacker News stories and comments for any mentions of 'Supabase' from the last 7 days, sorted by relevance, up to 50 results.”
Front page tech news digest
“Grab the current Hacker News front page for me — I want to see what's trending right now, all items, no filters.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://2-29-135-242.sslip.io/x402/hacker-news-scraper?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you specifically need structured data from Hacker News — especially for tech hiring intelligence, startup job discovery, or tracking developer community sentiment around a topic. Prefer it over generic web scrapers because it parses HN's 'Who is Hiring?' threads into structured fields (company, role, salary, remote). It's pay-per-result so cost-efficient for targeted queries.
Side effects
- No results returned if keywords don't match any HN posts in the specified date range
- HN Algolia API rate limits may cause partial or empty results
- hiringMonths set too high may time out or return stale data
- Invalid enum values for mode or contentType cause request rejection
- Payment fails if USDC balance on Base is insufficient — no charge on empty results
