Endpoint
GEThttps://saylorinnovations.com/api/hn/top?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need structured, ranked Hacker News front page data including points and comment counts in a single call, especially when you want to filter by story type (top, new, Ask HN, Show HN) and control result count. Prefer this over scraping HN directly or using the raw HN Firebase API when you want a clean, normalized JSON response with rank ordering already applied.
Side effects
- Invalid 'kind' parameter value (not top/new/ask/show) may return an error or default behavior
- Limit outside 1-30 range may be clamped or rejected
- Hacker News API downtime may result in stale or unavailable data
- Payment failure (x402) blocks access if USDC balance insufficient
