Everything you need to know about XCrawl.

How does the Hacker News YC Scraper API architecture work?
Powered by distributed crawlers with proxy pools, it sends requests to Hacker News, parses HTML/JS, and returns clean JSON via REST endpoints for instant integration.
What factors determine pricing?
Pricing scales by request volume, data freshness (real-time vs historical), concurrent scrapes, and export sizes—starts free with generous tiers for news scraping.
What data coverage and limitations apply?
Full coverage of public stories, users, comments, and searches on Hacker News; excludes private/deleted content and enforces platform rate limits ethically.
Is scraping Hacker News legal and compliant?
We only scrape publicly available data and recommend reviewing Hacker News terms; our proxies and delays ensure respectful, non-disruptive news crawling.
