  I always wondered -- how are some sites able to get an up-to-date mirror of HN, when HN blocks usage of its API after a while? Are they using some alternative API that was blessed by HN?

      And they don't block that after a while? How does iHackerNews show all the comments and everything? Where are these RSS feeds? I doubt that's how "the pros" so it.

        What good is a blocked RSS to anybody?

        There is also an api: https://hn.algolia.com/api https://hn.algolia.com/api I would think lots of apps are still scraping pages.
