Hacker News API provides programmatic access to posts, comments, and user data from Hacker News, enabling developers to query trending stories, historical content, and discussion metadata.
Have any questions? We’re here to help You
Some editions of Hacker News expose an API, but it is often limited, legacy, or inconsistent between versions, and many on-prem deployments have no usable API at all. Makini gives you one modern REST API for Hacker News that lets you read and write Hacker News data, even for legacy or on-prem instances. You build against Makini once instead of integrating with Hacker News directly.
You integrate Hacker News through Makini's Unified API. Authenticate once and Makini normalizes Hacker News data into a single consistent schema you can read from and write to inside your product. The same connection reaches Hacker News plus 2,000+ other ERP, WMS and CMMS systems, so you build one integration instead of one per system.
Through Makini you can read and write Hacker News's core records as normalized, standardized resources, in both directions: pull data out of Hacker News and push updates back in. Every field is mapped to a consistent Makini schema, so you work with the same object model across Hacker News and every other connected system.
Days, not quarters. Because Makini already builds and maintains the Hacker News connector, you do not reverse-engineer the integration yourself: you authenticate and start reading and writing Hacker News data through the Unified API, typically within a few days. A Hacker News integration built in-house usually takes months plus ongoing maintenance.
Yes. Makini connects to Hacker News over encrypted connections on SOC 2 Type II certified infrastructure, and handles Hacker News credentials for you so they are never exposed to your app. You authenticate once, and access runs through Makini's managed, auditable layer. The same security model applies across Hacker News and every other connected system.
Makini owns the maintenance. When Hacker News changes its API, versions, or endpoints, Makini updates the connector, and your integration keeps working with no changes on your side. You get a stable Unified API with webhooks, and Hacker News upkeep stays off your roadmap.
