If it makes your experiment any easier, I have written a hacker news API wrapper in Python - https://github.com/avinassh/haxor

I was going to write a script using haxor to convert my HN submissions and comments to Maildir, didn't get around to it though.

You could also use the haxor Python library that wraps the HN API:

I used the haxor python wrapper for the API https://github.com/avinassh/haxor. It was nice and easy to use :).
Show HN: redigest.it – Digest for Hacker News and reddit | Sep 2015
Hi, I created redigest.it because I was unhappy with reading Hacker News and reddit. The goal is to get the best content in less time.

The three major pain points redigest.it improves for me are:

1. I want to see links once, then hide them.

2. I want to have better control over which links and how many of them I get to see. Especially when I haven’t visited the sites for more than a day facing a large backlog.

3. I often want to see the best links since my last visit instead of “hot” links. (reddit’s “top” fails because it underrepresents small subreddits as they tend to have low scores.)

Visiting the sites too often shows me few new links under many that I’ve already seen. Visiting the sites too rarely makes it easy to miss good links/discussions and overwhelming due to the amount of content.

More detailed descriptions of the benefits:

- Hacker News: http://www.redigest.it/hn/why

- reddit: http://www.redigest.it/r/why

There are three digests so far:

- Hacker News: http://www.redigest.it/hn/

- reddit’s /r/all: http://www.redigest.it/r/

- Your personal reddit frontpage: http://www.redigest.it/r/my/

The personal reddit digest is the one with the most improvements so far.

The site is using:

- Flask

- RethinkDB

- haxor for the Hacker News API: https://github.com/avinassh/haxor

- Praw for the reddit API: https://praw.readthedocs.org/

Next, I’m going to take the number of comments into account for the HN digest.

Looking forward to your feedback!
