- minimaxir 13y agoYes, that was there, and the math is still correct. You can query 1,000 stories per request, and do 1,000 requests per hour. That's 1M requests per hour. There are 1.26M Hacker News stories indexed by the API. :) EDIT: Finished downloading all the entries (and can confirm that 1.26M is indeed all of them). Took 3 hours due to a conservative wait period between each request to make sure I stayed within the limits.
