How this service works
Hacker News for AI agents: front page, Show HN launches, and rising stories with points thresholds.
Output
A list of Hacker News stories matching the requested feed and filters, including story titles, URLs, point scores, and timestamps, capped at the specified limit (default 10, max 50).
Example use cases
Morning tech briefing for developers
“Give me the top 15 front page Hacker News stories from the last 24 hours so I can scan what happened overnight in tech.”
Monitoring new product launches
“Check the Show HN feed on Hacker News for the last 4 hours and find any new developer tools or AI projects that were just launched.”
Spotting emerging tech trends
“Find rising Hacker News stories from the past 3 hours about Rust, WebAssembly, or systems programming — limit to 10 results.”

Endpoint
GEThttps://thebotwire.com/hn/latestWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need structured, filterable access to Hacker News content — especially when you want to separate front page, Show HN, or rising feeds, or search within a freshness window. Prefer it over raw HN scraping or the official Firebase API when you need pre-filtered, agent-ready story data with points context and feed segmentation.
Side effects
- Invalid feed enum value returns an error (valid values: frontpage, show, rising)
- Limit out of range (must be 1–50) returns a validation error
- Malformed 'since' duration string may return no results or an error
- No stories matching search query returns an empty result set
- HN upstream unavailability may cause delayed or empty responses
