Algolia Hacker News Search GitHub Project Archived
- xnx 8mo agoDoes this indicate a new HN search could be coming?
- marginalia_nu 7mo agoDoesn't seem to have been touched for 3 years. Might be they consider it complete, but given the number of issues and PRs that's been gathering in those 3 years, it feels more like it's abandoned.
- maguszin 7mo agoThey had one small ingestion issue on august 2025 https://github.com/algolia/hn-search/issues/248 https://github.com/algolia/hn-search/issues/248
- SilverElfin 7mo agoIs there a place to get an archive of all HN posts and historical comments?
- krapp 7mo agoThere are some data sets but Hacker News has a non rate-limited API (see the bottom of the page) so you can just build one yourself. I don't think you can get the content of flagged posts without actually scraping the site but that'll get you banned.
- StrangeSound 7mo agoThere's a BigQuery public dataset bigquery-public-data.hacker_news.full
- nomilk 7mo agoEasiest way might be to use google cloud's 'bigquery' tool which lets you query hn data with SQL I just tried SELECT * FROM `bigquery-public-data.hacker_news.full` and it returns 47049059 rows. And SELECT MAX(timestamp) AS most_recent_timestamp FROM `bigquery-public-data.hacker_news.full`; gives 2026-02-21 09:12:49 UTC, so it checks out.
- kmmbvnr_ 7mo agoCheck HackerBook https://github.com/DOSAYGO-STUDIO/HackerBook https://github.com/DOSAYGO-STUDIO/HackerBook Repo packages 20 years of Hacker News into a static archive you can run entirely in your browser. The site is just files: HTML, JSON, and gzipped SQLite shards. No server app required.

- h4ch1 7mo agoHmm, I've been getting "Algolia API failed" on Harmonic for the past day, was wondering what could be going on.
- NSPG911 7mo agoI've been having issues logging into my HN account on Harmonic for quite a while, now this, the API is down :/

- ChrisArchitect 7mo agoThis isn't 'archived' - it's just the source code of HN Search. And place for reporting problems, like back in August when it wasn't ingesting data briefly https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44934518 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44934518
- sciurus 7mo agoThe repo page says "This repository was archived by the owner on Feb 10, 2026. It is now read-only."
- JoshGlazebrook 7mo agoWasn't aware that this backend ran on rails.
- chuckmeyer 7mo agoAlgolia DevRel here. An amazing dev named Jeff Slentz did a full rewrite about a year ago, which is what the current search runs on. The new search is currently in a private repo, but I can see about getting it turned public if people would like to peruse the code.
- burnt-resistor 7mo agoHad me scared for a moment that it was running Ruby 2.6 and Rails 5.1.7 in prod. :'D FYI: The hn search index I'm seeing is about 9 hours old as of 2026-02-23T00:53:00Z. Is that right?
- chuckmeyer 7mo agoHmmm. Should update more often than that. Let me check!
- seg_lol 7mo agoOMG, I'd love to fix that date picker. It is just so horribly broken, it causes me PTSD.
- etyhhgfff 7mo agoPlease make it public
- mcint 7mo agoI would appreciate it. It’s such a joy to use, to share, and (admitting I haven’t) nice to see & share the code & configuration to feed algolia, on a more serious scale of us than I’m likely to use in a hobby project or find/grok/share another public example with code + data.
- bags43 7mo agoI would like to have again possibility to sort comments by popularity.
