| | Rows in this dataset | 2,375 | |
| | Fields | 15 | |
| | Collector runs behind it | 50 | |
| | Most recent observation | 2026-08-03 | |
|
|
| ## What this is |
|
|
| Every row here was returned by a real run of a public collector. Nothing is generated from a |
| template over a keyword list: a row exists because a run observed it. |
|
|
| ## Provenance |
|
|
| Each row carries `_run_id` and `_dataset_id`, naming the collector run that produced it, so any |
| row can be traced back to the run that observed it. Rows observed by more than one run are |
| deduplicated on content; 77 duplicate observations were collapsed. |
|
|
| ## Files |
|
|
| - `hackernews-scraper.jsonl` — one JSON object per row, the canonical form |
| - `hackernews-scraper.csv` — the same rows flattened; nested values are JSON-encoded within their cell |
| so they round-trip |
| - `dataset.json` — schema.org `Dataset` metadata |
|
|
| ## Loading it |
|
|
| ```python |
| from datasets import load_dataset |
| ds = load_dataset("reapxdev/hackernews-scraper", split="train") |
| ``` |
