# Developer community data tools

> Hacker News exposes a public, Algolia-powered search API at hn.algolia.com that needs no key and allows browser requests. The tool in this category uses it live: type a keyword and you get real matching stories with points, comment counts, author and date, plus tag, sort and minimum-points filters. Because it calls the source directly from your browser, the results are genuine, not a sample. For recurring monitoring or bulk exports to JSON or CSV, the same query can run on the backing Apify actor.
