Frequently Asked Questions
Does a story include the linked article?
An item includes its Hacker News fields and any item text. External article text is not fetched by these operations.
Why can a discussion summary be incomplete?
The comment tree is bounded by depth and children per node. The default also truncates long text, so request suitable limits and untruncated text for detailed reading.
Can I search by topic?
Yes. Supply a search query and optional story or comment tags; indexed search results come from Algolia.
