I did something with a similar idea. Rather than looking at deleted stories, I historicize the stories and display them as a graph. You can see which stories have a second life (they were created several days ago, but the score doesn't increase until several days later). https://y-combinator-news-trends.vercel.app/

You can see your story!

The github isn't open source because the project isn't really finished (the page is ugly, by the way).

I have to say that I'm not relying on the api but on scraping the front page. The reason was to migrate code I had from python to typescript (I'm better at the later...)
