Use the official Hacker News API via direct curl calls to fetch stories, comments, and user data.
No API key required! The Hacker News API is completely free and open.
Important: When using $VAR in a command that pipes to another command, wrap the command containing $VAR in bash -c '...'. Due to a Claude Code bug, environment variables are silently cleared when pipes are used directly.
