Ask HN: WordPress plugins to submit new posts to HN automatically?
Hi guys I was looking for a plugin to publish my essays and blog posts directly to HN. I know that HN does not have an API, therefore I played a little bit with scraping requests etc and just got banned (emailed @pg about it).
Anyway, is there a proven to be working WordPress plugin to get articles posted to HN automatically? Or would someone be interested in developing one?
Thanks.
- benologist 14y agoThis sounds like just what HN needs. Sites shouldn't have to rely on manual spam or the goodwill of auto-submitters like iProject and evo_9 to get their precious content spammed on HN anymore, it's 2012!
- pknight 14y agoThere's a reason there isn't an api or plugin for auto submission. Think about it.
- wzhack 14y agoWell abusers actually get banned very quickly. So if anyone might abuse, this will be discouraging. However I have an ifttt recipe that does some post-publishing hooks and makes life easier. I am not sure it is purely an evil idea.
