How this service works
Hacker News search - stories or comments matching a query with points, comment counts, dates and links, newest or most relevant first
Output
A JSON object containing the interpreted query string, sort order applied, data source, total match count, number of results returned, and an array of hit objects each with: story title, canonical article URL, HN thread URL, author name, points, comment count, and UTC creation timestamp.
Example use cases
Track developer sentiment on a new tool
“Search Hacker News for posts about 'Bun runtime' and give me the top 15 results with their points and comment counts so I can see how the dev community is reacting to it.”
Research a company before a meeting
“Find me recent Hacker News discussions mentioning 'Anthropic' — I want to see what people are saying, how many upvotes the posts got, and links to the threads.”
Monitor AI news on HN
“Pull the latest 20 Hacker News stories about 'large language models' sorted by newest first, with titles, dates, and URLs.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://saylorinnovations.com/api/hn/search?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need structured, queryable access to Hacker News content — stories or comments — with metadata like points and comment counts, without scraping HN directly. Ideal for agents monitoring developer community sentiment, researching how a technology or company is perceived in tech circles, or surfacing trending discussions. Prefer this over raw web scraping for reliability and structured output.
Side effects
- Missing required 'q' parameter returns an error
- Limit out of range (>30 or <1) may be clamped or rejected
- Query returning zero results yields an empty hits array with total_matches: 0
- Network or upstream HN/Algolia outage may cause 5xx errors
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient
