Hiring & Talent Detection with the Hacker News API

How Hiring & Talent Detection works with the Hacker News API: the exact data feeds and endpoints involved.

Free live snapshot — no key, no signup: GET /v1/snapshot?query=openai

Data you get

• Live Hacker News mentions snapshots on demand.
• Change detection across queries you care about.
• Intel reports with recommendations.

How it plays out

1. Pick your targets (queries).
2. Run free snapshots to baseline.
3. Schedule paid scans — $0.05 per check.
4. Feed signals into your agent or workflow.

Why this works for marketers and AI agents

No scraping infrastructure, no stale exports, no platform accounts. One key across all five APIs.

Paid calls: $0.05 per change check, $0.50 per intel report, $0.03 per target in batch (up to 50), $5 landscape. Agents settle USDC on Base via x402 (0% commission); humans buy a key on /pricing.
