Api Endpoint

2s

Full-text search across all of Hacker News (via the Algolia HN API). Search stories or comments by keyword, sorted by relevance or by date (newest first). Filter by tags (story/comment/ask_hn/show_hn/poll) and by author. Each hit: title, URL, author, points, comment count, story/comment text, created time, and canonical HN URL. Net-new vs news.hn-top (curated feeds) and news.search (general news).
