Tech News surfaces the top stories and freshest submissions from Hacker News — the community-ranked feed that developers, founders, and technologists use to stay on top of what matters in tech. Get ranked stories, breaking news, and full comment threads in one place.
Whether you want a daily briefing on the biggest tech stories, need to know what the developer community is saying about a specific topic, or want to track breaking news before it climbs the rankings, this tool gets you there fast. Chain top stories with comment lookup to see both the headline and the community reaction.
What you can do
- top_stories — current highest-ranked Hacker News stories by score, with titles, URLs, scores, and comment counts
- new_stories — most recently submitted stories regardless of score, useful for catching breaking news early
- story_details — full story data plus the top 10 comments for any story, identified by its ID
Who it's for
Developers, tech founders, researchers, and anyone who wants a fast read on what's important in technology today. Great for daily briefings, competitive research, and building AI assistants that need current tech context.
How to use it
- Start with top_stories to see what the tech community is ranking highest right now — default is 10 stories, max 30
- Use new_stories to catch breaking submissions before they accumulate votes
- Take any story ID from top_stories or new_stories and pass it to story_details to read the full discussion and top comments
