Can you scrape all of HN by just incrementing item?id (since its sequential) and using Python web requests with IP rotation (in case there is rate limiting)? NVM this approach of going item by item would take 460 days if the average request response time is 1 second (unless heavily parallelized, for instance 500 instances _could_ do it in a day but thats 40 million requests either way so would raise alarms).
