Ask HN: Does the Hacker News API have auth documentation?

2 pointsmurph373 comments

I created a Hacker News iOS app using the Hacker News API (https://github.com/HackerNews/API). I'd really like to add login, commenting, upvoting, etc. but I haven't found any great documentation. Is there any resource or project available that outlines the undocumented endpoints of the Hacker News API?

Yes, another problem I think with the API is that it returns HTML code for comments, rather than the raw code that the user entered, which would be better I think; have the client to convert it to whatever format you need instead.

Yeah for sure. I've been able to tackle the html comments now just wanting to implement auth. Any recommended resources?

Email the mods. I'm 99.9% certain there is no auth API, though.
