Ask HN: Is there a database of Hacker news posts that I can download?
I want to download hacker news posts and support instant search on top of it. I saw that there was one such database before...but downloading is disabled now.
Do hacker news TOS even allow downloading and making a copy of the database?
- xauronx 14y agoWhy dont you use http://www.hnsearch.com/ http://www.hnsearch.com/ I guess if you really want to you can use their API to download posts.
- rgovind 14y agoThat is my next step. I just wanted to make sure I am not duplicating others work.
