Hacker-News-Net

This is a .Net client package to the Hacker News API. You can interact with the Api through six(6) public instance methods and a static method to retrieve informations like best stories , job stories, comments on a post etc

Methods

  • TopStoriesJson
  • TopStoriesObjects
  • JobStoriesJson
  • NewStoriesJson
  • BestStoriesJson
  • GetComments - All Comments on a particular Story

... in Json Format mostly

The Hacker News API is faily minimal and easy to use, this client mostly does the work of exposing easy to call methods and the convenience of returning to you a collection of json instead of a list of story ids as most endpoints do. There is also a method (TopStoriesObjects) which returns a collection of stories as a collection of iterative native objects(story) for easy access and information retrieval.

Installation

You can install the Hacker-News-Net Client using NuGet Package Manager:

dotnet add package Hacker-News-Net

or just add package in the Visual Studio

Basic usage

using HackerNewsApiClient;

//get top 10 stories
HackerNews hn  = new HackerNews();
string topStories = await hn.TopStoriesJsom(10);


//get top 10 new stories
string topStories = await hn.NewStoriesJson(10);



//get top 10 Best stories
string topStories = await hn.BestStoriesJson(10);
//search for an item with id
HackerNews hn  = new HackerNews();
string story = await HackerNews.SearchItem(<item id>);



//get top 10 stories as a collection of obects
List<Story> storiesAsObject = await hn.TopStoriesObjects(10)
foreach(story in storiesAsObject)
{
  //use objects
}

//get all comments on an item
HackerNews hn  = new HackerNews()
string comments = await hn.GetComments(<item id>)

//get comments on an item with range
HackerNews hn hackerNewsClient = new HackerNews()
string comments = await hn.GetComments(<item id>, offset, limit)
