Is there a problem with HN Algolia search?


Everyday I come in the morning and go to https://hn.algolia.com/, and read the top items from the last 24 hours. However, today I noticed that there are no stories indexed for the last 24 hours https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=last24h&page=0&prefix=false&query=&sort=byPopularity&type=story

Not sure if this is a bug that I should be reporting to HN or ask a question to fellow peers who have similar routine as mine on how they are coping up today.

I think it's the HN API. The problem also affects hnrss.org: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33786127

The algolia search is buggy sometimes, and hnrss would miss one or two posts for the front page

I think nobody is going test it thoroughly, it's not a big deal, just a bit annoying

Why not use

https://besthackernews.herokuapp.com/

?

Though personally I read HN through

https://serializer.io/

with only HN enabled and other sites disabled, it allows also sync with other devices through unique URL, very practical. I just check first link ocassionally if I didn't miss something.

Yes, something is off. Yesterday it was 20h behind.

Two days ago this article was posted:

It details a stylometric grouping attack on users. I wonder if the API was killed in response?
