A bit offtopic, but I don't see much people knowing/using the Algolia API[0]. It's much better to use than the HN official API[1], since it returns the whole tree data in one request.
Unfortunately (I guess this is a big reason why people don't use it), it doesn't sort the comments – if you need the orders, you'll have to parse HN HTML (or just use the official API).
Still just two requests (the HN site, the Algolia API) is much better than recursively requesting a hundred requests, so I use this approach in my client[2].
