"new Hacker News API" -> do you mean there's now an official API? I must have missed this news. Can you provide a link / additional info?

With hnsearch.com being shutdown, I believe he is referring to: http://hn.algolia.com/api

Using that API, you could download 48,000 hacker news stories in 2 days, so if there have been less than 48,000 submissions, then what minimaxir said is true. But first you'd need to generate a list of all 48,000 story ids, and there seems to be no way to actually do that.

No need to generate all IDs beforehand. The search_by_date endpoint is fine. You have to paginate using the created_at_i parameter, not the page parameter.
Also, you can set hitsPerPage = 1000. ;)

This is old so what you're suggesting wouldn't be possible unless he updated it (which I don't think he has any reason to do).
