Show HN: Free HN User Favorites API Endpoint (MIT)

4 points

8 years ago

I needed a way to access my hn favorites since I use them like bookmarks. This was put together very quickly. Uses x-ray (nodejs)

Example GET request for user: sbr464, 1 page (30 favs): https://reactual.lib.id/hnfavs@dev/?id=sbr464&limit=1

It currently accepts 2 query params:

id (string = '') - hn user id limit (number = 1) - pagination 30/page

Will error if you don't include an id.

I'll put it up on a more permanent URL and may move it to a different cloud function provider. I just used stdlib.com for now to get feedback.

If the url changes, I'll put the updated url in my hn profile/source and include it in the JSON response error for a while.
