Questions

Do I need a Hacker News account?

No. Agentik holds the connection to Hacker News; your agent calls it with your Agentik key and the call is paid from your balance at Hacker News’s price.

Is the data the same as the direct API?

Yes. Each tool is one Hacker News endpoint with its real inputs; Agentik adds the price check, the balance and the receipt, nothing else.
