- krapp 5y agoYou can't currently get a thread from a single request, you can only request a single item, and build a thread item by item. At the very least it would be nice to get an entire thread as an array of ids the way you can with pages. But mostly, I want to be able to query - get all ids for a thread since a timestamp, or all ids matching a domain, or filter out certain users or ids with less than 2 karma, filter out certain fields, etc. Firebase supports queries, and I wish the API did too. I can accomplish this myself by just dumping everything into a DB, web scraping, using the Algolia API which does some of this but is rate limited, but I just wish the API did it.
- hidden-spyder 5y agoSounds like a good suggestion. Have you considered emailing @dang with this feature request on hn@ycombinator.com?
