node-hnsearch is a thin wrapper around the HNSearch REST API. Since node-hnsearch is such a thin wrapper, consulting the documentation provided by HNSearch is highly advised.
$ npm install hnsearch
Or install via git clone:
$ git clone git://github.com/jharding/node-hnsearch.git
$ cd node-hnsearch
$ npm install
var hnsearch = require('hnsearch');
Use for querying submissions, comments, and users, respectively, against HNSearch's search API. query
is the object containing the key-value pairs that the query string will be composed of. cb
is the callback function that will be called when the response from HNSearch is received. It should support a (err, response)
signature.
Details about the query fields and the response
object can be found on the HNSearch API website.
var hnsearch = require('hnsearch');
hnsearch.submissions({ q: 'javascript semicolons' }, function(err, response) {
if (err) { process.exit(1); }
console.log('Comments about semicolons and javascript!');
response.results.forEach(function(result) {
console.log(result.item.text);
});
});
$ cd node-hnsearch
$ npm test
