There was a link to the API documentation at the bottom for as long as I can remember using HN, but I’m not sure if it always pointed to the GitHub-page linked in this post.

#4I use this API in a few places such as a custom New Tab extension I made for myself on Chromium based browsers:

Haven't had any issues with it!

#5Again, it would be also great if we have a user's personal API to get our private info either.

#7This is so awesome. I like very much the spirit of giving access to the api as-is. With no fuss.

#8Wish API would show comment votes instead of only showing them up until 8 years ago when displaying them was turned off on the main site. Aside from allowing users to enable them via their on interface, do analysis, etc — it broke HN’s comment search based on comment popularity.

#9Annoying how it doesn't show the text or anything for dead items.
Is there any way to query this API as if showdead is switched on?

Agreed. An read only API for my upvoted stories and comments would be great so I can preserve this data and use it outside of HN.
