Ask HN: HackerNewsAPI – how do I get the list of the top Ask HN stories?

[rayalez]

Hi!! I am learning to use HackerNews API (https://github.com/HackerNews/API).

It has the list of top 100 stories, but I don't see the list of top 100 "Ask HN" or "Show HN" stories.

Does anyone know how can I retrieve them?

You can't do bulk requests and/or searches using the official Hacker News API.

Use the previous Algolia API instead: https://hn.algolia.com/api

I use the Algolia API and it works well:

This is on our list to add.
